Quality Is Key

"when you buy quality, you only cry once"

Quality is often one of the first thing to consider! It’s been said that when you buy quality, you only cry once. Poor quality outdoor furniture means financial losses, aggravation and an interruption to the peace and tranquility you were looking for to start with. Furniture Country chooses to partner with the best names in home furnishings, indoor and outdoor both, including Ashley Furniture. Your quality outdoor furniture will need to possess the capacity to withstand harsh weather and some rough handling from your family and visitors. Always keep in mind that cheaper doesn’t always mean better, so invest wisely and be cautious of the retailer who offers the cheapest outdoor furniture you can find. 

Dual-purpose

If you’re someone who likes to go minimal, it’s great to invest in some multi-purpose furniture pieces. For example, Ashley Furniture makes cocktail tables and dining sets that also double as a fireplace element and burn clean propane gas which lights and warms your backyard or patio with both ambiance and practicality. 

Lush and Plush

Keep in mind to never ignore comfort and color while designing your outdoor space. You can use furniture made of varying materials but don’t forget to add a little homey comfort using some fashion pillows. With just a few toss pillows, your patio furniture will go from blah-blah to paradise. Choose florals and geometric patterns to liven up any patio fast, even if you already have patio furniture and are looking for ways to liven up a tastefully aging space. Ashley’s fabrics are color-fast and anti-fading for years of beautiful wear in the harsh outdoor elements. This also means these fabrics will resist mildew and mold and stay fresh, comfortable, and sweet-smelling for longer. 

Stick to Your Style

Choose your outdoor furniture while considering the style of your home. If you have a vintage home, go for outdoor wicker furniture. For a relaxed look, dress up your wicker chairs and benches with colorful floral cushions. However, if your house has a modern décor style, opt for a wooden outdoor furniture look to add a tropical glamour. 

If you’re not sure about the kind of material that suits your house, consider the versatility of wooden patio furniture. Your wooden outdoor furniture can look starkly contemporary or old-fashioned, depending on the pillows and accents you choose.

Good Care is Important

No matter the material you choose, all your outdoor furniture needs proper maintenance to keep it both presentable and functional. It is important to choose outdoor furniture that is not too hard to care for; this way you can spend more time relaxing than sprucing up. Choose materials which can withstand rough weather conditions and are easy to clean as only those will last many years in your outdoor retreat. Ashley Outdoor is so easy to clean too! Simply mix 1 cup of bleach to every gallon of warm, soapy water to get rid of any light or stubborn stains. 

Now Go Relax

Great outdoor furniture pieces will bring purpose, comfort, and functionality to your garden, pool or backyard area. It is the perfect opportunity to incorporate some personal chic style into your home’s alfresco areas. Your outdoor space should offer a balance between entertainment and relaxation. With some cozy chairs, comfy cushions, the perfect dining space, and some jazzed-up accessories, you can transform your outdoor area into a beautiful, sensory-rich space.
