The priority when selecting outdoor furniture is usually about comfort when you relax in your Madison and Verona, WI, landscape, but homeowners who are spending more time at home also want beauty. These top outdoor furniture trends for the fall can satisfy both!
Multiple Seating Areas
One of the primary trends is to create multiple seating areas so that family members can do different activities. One space can hold chairs with ottomans for the kids to do schoolwork while another spot can have comfortable couches for mom and dad to relax and visit with friends.
Having oversize chairs can allow for easy movement among seating areas to accommodate larger and smaller groups. The same can be true for benches. Benches can be used to prop up feet and also for additional seating. If you are planning to use benches for seating, having some with cushions can increase the comfort.
Wicker Is Back
The look of wicker and rattan is back in fresh textures and styles. Wicker outdoor furniture is tough and durable—not fragile like past versions. Many wicker furniture of today is made of polyethylene resin to be impervious to rain, snow, and hot summer afternoons and stay looking great. The material is also durable and complements an urban aesthetic well.
Outdoor Tables
Dining outside together as a family is important to many homeowners, so adding an oversize outdoor table and chairs can accomplish that feat. When you designate a specific place for the outdoor table, you can have your landscapers build a pergola to define the outdoor dining area.
Adding a pergola can block some of the hot sun’s rays and offer more comfort on a warm afternoon, and it also adds a vertical feature to the patio. The hefty wood posts and overhead beams draw in the elements of nature and tie the patio to the surrounding natural landscape.
When you choose a table that has leaves to expand and reduce its size, depending on your number of guests, this can make a more intimate cozy spot for anything from breakfast to dinner al fresco.
Outdoor Fireplace
While outdoor furniture is important for comfort and for creating a pretty appearance, what the furniture is near also makes a difference. When your landscape professionals add an outdoor fireplace to the patio, this brings a warmth and draw to head outside that only fire can produce.
Amazing ideas can bring harmony to your various outdoor spaces. Landscape professionals can create a unique fireplace that reflects the materials that you love most such as rustic wall stone, natural wood mantle, and a huge firebox.
When they add a long and deep hearth that extends beyond the fireplace itself, this gives you more seating space for larger groups. You could add a weather-proof TV over the mantle to watch your favorite shows and sports teams. Doing most anything by the fire becomes calming and special when you have a beautiful outdoor fireplace.
Outdoor furniture can bring so much to your patio. From allowing you to play with boldly colored pillows to trying a new style of furniture such as mid-century modern. Your landscape team can help you achieve any look you prefer.
