It’s that time of the year that you start thinking about your outdoor living again. Last year, you bought the best outdoor lounge furniture, but as an outdoor fanatic, you don’t know whether these pieces will still work great for you in 2019.
Look – outdoor furniture doesn’t go in and out if style easily. This comes as good news for you because it means that unless your furniture is worn out, you don’t have to invest thousands of bucks replacing them every year. All you need to do is to adhere to some top trends, and take your outdoor living to a whole new level!
Are you ready? Let’s go!
Mixed materials
This is a trend that created a storm in 2018, and it is expected to shine even further in 2019. Therefore, if you are thinking about shopping for this type of furniture, you don’t have to go for chairs made of plastics cut to size, or tables made of wood alone. You need to blend wicker, cast iron, and wood. This will go a long way in making your outdoor living stand out.
These outdoor items will be made of high-quality materials, which means that they will be functional for more seasons to come without compromising their beauty. Some of the examples of such materials are wooden furniture with a cast iron frame, cast aluminum with teak and sling fabrics, and many more.
The trend is becoming increasingly popular because mixing materials are one of the best ways of finding top-quality outdoor furniture. Having several plastic chairs and tables in your patio might be affordable but it can be dull and boring which is not cool at all. When hosting visitors in your outdoor space, you want to entertain and impress them at the same time. Therefore, this is a trend you shouldn’t ignore!
Dual purpose furniture
This is one of the most effective ways to deal with little outdoor space. This trend is utilized in smaller patios and balconies. Nonetheless, it doesn’t mean that you cannot use it in your huge garden or patio.
You can use this kind of furniture to store pillows during lousy weather, or you can as well use it in different space-saving capabilities. The good news is, you can find tutorials online on how to turn your outdoor furniture into coolers and other extravagant patio elements by yourself. This will go a long way in giving your value for money.
Blending indoor and outdoor
This is a trend that took shape in 2018, and it is expected that it will be bigger this year. The idea behind this is blurring the line between the outdoor and indoor space, which was borrowed from the ancient Rome where upper and middle-class families built houses with extensive gardens inside and outdoor/indoor courtyards. This is a trend that will help you enjoy the serenity of your outdoor space without necessarily leaving the house.
This trend is noticeable in outdoor dining areas. Also, the popularity of patio bars and kitchens has increased, which means that choosing enough sitting space when considering it for your home is something that should be at the top of your must-do list.
