3 tips for choosing the best outdoor seating for your backyard

We know choosing the right outdoor seating for your backyard can be a daunting task. Here are a few tips to help you pick the best outdoor seating for your outdoor living space.

Consider the material

Look for outdoor furniture that is made of materials that can withstand the elements. Materials such as wicker, teak, and aluminum are popular choices for outdoor furniture. Opt for a durable and modern outdoor sofa with teak and UV-resistant fabric like Louis Outdoor Sofa.

Measure your space

Before you buy an outdoor sofa or sectional, measure the space where you plan to put it. Make sure that the furniture you choose will fit comfortably in the space and leave enough room for other outdoor activities. If you have a larger space opt for an expansive outdoor sectional like the Francis Outdoor Modular Sectional for plenty of space for lounging with friends and family.

Consider the style

Outdoor furniture comes in many different styles, from sleek and modern to rustic and traditional. Choose a style that complements your home's architecture and your personal taste. If you lean towards a contemporary interior style pick a sleek and minimal outdoor seating piece in a lighter color like the Evelyn Outdoor Armless Open Left for a serene feel.
