How to choose the right garden furniture?

Our terrace, our balcony, our garden become our favorite rooms in the house.

And to fully relax, you still need to choose garden furniture adapted to our outdoor spaces.

To do this, it is necessary to take into account:
- Configuring your spaces
- The materials

The configuration of outdoor spaces

The first step is obviously to adapt to the size and configuration of your terrace as well as your desires and needs.

Can your exterior accommodate 2, 4, 12 people?

Do you prefer a space to have an aperitif? For lunch/dinner? For a mix of the two? Or do you have the space and the desire to create two separate spaces for eating and having an aperitif with family or friends?

Do you want to fully equip your exterior with parasol, deckchairs, dining table, chairs, garden furniture, etc.?

Do you want a uniform collection or do you prefer a mix of materials depending on the type of product?

Do you need lightweight furniture to easily move it as you wish? Do you live by the sea and need furniture that is particularly resistant to sun, salt and wind?

All these questions will guide you to the type of products you need.

The materials

The choice of materials must be made according, obviously, to the desired style but also to the environment of your exterior, the maintenance that you are prepared to provide to your furniture or even your budget.

Aluminum

This material is particularly resistant to bad weather and the sun. Aluminum is robust while being light, does not rust and is easy to maintain.
Opt for this material if you like a style that is modern, refined and timeless.

Wood

There are different types of wood. Teak wood is one of the strongest and also one of the most expensive. Rattan or even acacia are also very resistant and more affordable than Teak.
Wood requires more attention than aluminum to guarantee its longevity.
Fall for this material if you want to give an exotic and cocooning touch to your outdoor spaces.

Braided resin

Braided resin is a light and strong material, provided you choose good quality woven resin furniture (prefer round or half-moon woven resin rather than flat woven resin which is more fragile because it is less thick).
It should be noted that the woven resin is woven by hand.
This material is very easy to maintain, waterproof and UV resistant.
Resin is a good option if you want classic and elegant garden furniture.

The type of furniture

Invest in garden furniture that will serve you well throughout the spring and summer. Indeed, if you are not a great cook and you prefer dinner aperitifs, it is better to get garden furniture with a coffee table rather than a dining table.

On the contrary, if you like cooking and entertaining large tables, an extendable table will be your essential ally to adapt to your number of guests.

There are also two-in-one garden furniture sets (like our Tivoli garden furniture and Tivoli up and down ) whose table is high and large enough to be used for both an aperitif and a meal.

In any case, adapt to the size of your exterior, your needs and, obviously, your desires.
