Furniture and plants complement each other

In recent years, the concept of an outdoor living room has become increasingly popular. What is an outdoor living room? The literal meaning is simple: it's the traditional indoor living room moved outdoors. In pursuit of a more comfortable living environment, more and more people are adding tables and chairs to their backyards or balconies, planting various climbing plants, and enjoying the outdoors year-round.

Another factor is that modern people are becoming more particular about cooking, no longer limited to stir-frying, steaming, or boiling. They now prefer grilling and frying. Obviously, indoor cooking isn't suitable for us, so those who can afford it have simply moved the grill into their backyard...

Simple and pure, like a piece of art painting

Many people think of outdoor furniture as simply park seating, swings, and the like. However, outdoor furniture is a much broader concept, primarily referring to furniture used outdoors or semi-outdoor for public activities or personal leisure. It can be categorized into four main categories: urban public outdoor furniture, courtyard outdoor leisure furniture, commercial outdoor furniture, and portable outdoor furniture. These furniture are generally resistant to high temperatures, UV rays, rain, and aging, and can be left outdoors for extended periods.

If it’s not in bloom, let the sofa take over.

In the past, metal and wooden furniture were the only options available, and there was no room for extra care. Even if cushions were placed, they had to be brought indoors if there was a chance of rain. Today, with the expansion of the outdoor furniture market, we have a wider range of choices, with diverse materials, increasingly trendy designs, and performance that's identical to that of indoor furniture.

▲Woven chairs create a beautiful scene wherever you place them

Rattan outdoor furniture, with its materials and colors that blend seamlessly with nature, is a perfect choice for summer. The natural rattan craftsmanship paired with fresh, elegant hues creates a refreshing coolness. Its lightweight, flexible, and malleable texture makes it a top choice for outdoor furniture.

The new outdoor chairs are based on iron frames, with rattan and fabric decorations, pursuing the line of modern minimalism. The style created can easily fit in with both traditional and creative trends. So~ the wonderful garden life can start with an outdoor chair~~

The furniture you choose is entirely up to you. While your patio might not need a lot of decoration, a daybed can definitely satisfy all your needs! Generally speaking, it's best to choose a daybed with a canopy, which you can also install yourself, for the perfect nap or reading experience.

Create a refreshing summer retreat for your home

Hanging basket + sofa cushion

Even a narrow balcony can be transformed into a cozy little space. A hanging basket and a cushion are all you need. Sit on the floor or curl up in the basket with a cup of tea and a book—isn't that enough to while away an afternoon without a date? Furniture alone might seem a bit monotonous, but what's a garden without flowers and plants? Add some to double the effect!

Outdoor small tables and chairs + bright textiles

If the ground-floor balcony at home is large enough, you might as well buy an outdoor leisure table that is the same color or completely different from the indoor furniture, and pair it with two square stools, and decorate it with a few pots of green plants. This will not only make the narrow balcony more spacious, but also deliberately create the view of a small courtyard.

People who appreciate life more often choose to spend time outdoors with friends. Bright surroundings and a natural atmosphere can easily bring people closer. Iron furniture is brightly colored and durable, but it seems that many people prefer the rustic feel of wood. This is a personal choice based on personal preference.

Large outdoor sofa + simple and stylish design

We often see such interior designs, where there seems to be no strict division between indoor and outdoor. A set of sofas and a coffee table can become a living room during the day or at night, naturally and casually, allowing you to fully enjoy the brightness of the day or the tranquility of the night.

If you live in a duplex house, the open-air terrace is large enough to accommodate a dining table, chairs, and parasols. You can also decorate it with taller tropical green plants, or put out a simple grill and a long table so you can have a barbecue party!

[Application Guide and Precautions for Outdoor Furniture ]

Consider the weather where you live. Does it rain frequently? Or is your location in the tropics humid and hot? Direct sunlight can crack wooden furniture, while metal can heat up under the sun's scorching heat, making it uncomfortable to use. If you live in an area prone to tropical storms, severe convection weather, or near the sea, sudden strong winds could flip over lightweight furniture like aluminum or plastic.

Does your outdoor area have a sunshade? Is the furniture on soft grass or hard ground? Remember, if you're on grass, avoid furniture with cork frames, as cork absorbs moisture and can damage the frame. Opt for plastic or steel frames instead. If you're in direct sunlight, use a parasol. Direct sunlight can be harmful to both furniture and skin.

The material of your outdoor furniture is crucial for future maintenance, so don't just look at the exterior when buying. Aluminum and resin are the easiest to care for, while wicker or wood furniture require regular maintenance.

Partial rugs can be a great decorative option, especially when the functional areas of a room aren't clearly defined. Try to find rugs that are also suitable for outdoor use; they look like natural fibers but are actually made from synthetic fibers that are UV-resistant and moisture-resistant.

If you're not using furniture for more than two or three weeks, it's best to cover it with a protective cover. Most wood used for outdoor furniture is resistant to corrosion from the elements, but you should also try to avoid direct sunlight in the summer. You can protect it by storing it in the shade or by providing it with some protection.

For hardwood furniture, consider sanding it once a year and reapplying a protective layer of oil, stain, or polyurethane. Rinse rattan furniture with a hose every few weeks to prevent dust from accumulating in the crevices. Regularly wiping away dust, debris, and excess watermarks from wooden furniture is the best way to protect it. For metal, it's recommended to apply a rust-resistant primer followed by a rust-resistant paint. Avoid contact with cleaners containing chemicals like ammonia and trisodium phosphate to prevent chemical reactions.
