When it comes to buying furniture for an outdoor space, especially if space is limited, you seem to be stuck.But with the right small space patio furniture, it is possible to turn a small balcony or patio into a mini oasis for lounging and dining.If you’re wondering if your patio has enough room to outfit your space with this year’s projected outdoor design trends, we talked to the experts for tips on how to make any size space feel luxurious.
When shopping for a small space, Fermob’s experts advise: “Look for pieces that don’t get too cluttered, that are both attractive and functional.” If you’re using a particularly small footprint, less is more: it can be as simple as Buying a comfy weatherproof outdoor chair is as easy!
Outfitting your outdoor space is about combining functionality (space, use and maintenance) with your personal style, says Lindsay Foster, Frontgate’s Senior Director of Sales.Here are some starting points for both.
First, calculate the square footage you are using.Then, dig into what you want to achieve…
What would you like to do in your space?For example, if entertainment is the main goal, you may want a set of small chairs or a few swivel chairs that allow guests the freedom to change direction and interact with everyone.If you imagine it’s a one-person recreation, a larger recliner might work.You might also want to think about how to store your furniture: “Find what works for you,” advises Jordan England, CEO and co-founder of Industry West.”Parts that serve multiple purposes are ideal, and stackable chairs? Our favorite.”
Next, it’s time to think about looks.Aaron Whitney, vice president of product at Neighbor, recommends treating your outdoor space as an extension of your home’s interior and following the same design rules.Do you prefer an aluminium, wicker or teak frame?From handcrafted rust-resistant aluminum and hand-woven all-weather wicker to sustainable, high-quality teak – there are durable, high-performance materials to choose from.”Add warmth to a space with durable accessories like outdoor rugs or throw pillows,” says Whitney. “Textiles add color, depth and visual interest, but also diffuse light and cover hard surfaces, making the space more livable and comfortable.”
Since the furniture will be exposed to the elements, you will also need to consider how it will be supported.”Know your lifestyle and the maintenance you need,” England warns.For example, if your location has harsh elements, look for super durable materials like aluminum.
Bottom line: There are ways to lighten up your small space and give your backyard more creative, low-elevator projects.Bistro tables, slim bar carts, stools and stackable options will allow for flexible entertaining in the smallest of spaces.
