The Best Modern Patio Furniture Styles for Your Small Outdoor Space
Just because you have a small square of asphalt or a tight corner for a patio, there is no reason for you to not make the most out of it. After all, furnishing and decorating your patio and garden will open up an extra living space in your home. Look for modern patio furniture pieces that are intelligently designed so that you can easily move around for quick shifts from storage to entertaining to relaxing. Below are some features to be aware of when shopping for outdoor furniture.
Stores easily. Hammocks are easy to fold and put away when not in use. Stacking chairs and nesting tables give options for expanding the seating as necessary.
Trim designs. Rather than having a full dining set, opt for a patio umbrella with a weighted base and tuck it into a corner to shade a small folding table and some chairs. A sail shade will not take up any floor space and yet still give the amount of shade that conventional patio umbrellas offer. Adirondack chairs with a matching table gives a low profile. You can also opt for a French bistro table with accompanying chairs with skinny legs.
Lightweight and flexible. It would be easier to move and store wicker furniture than those that are made of metal, glass, or hardwood. There are all-weather wicker, wood and resin tables that come with fold-down tabletops so you can push them against a wall.
Fit for underused areas. Consider using a few small stools or stack cushions on wide chairs for casual seating. Use the vertical space of your patio and fill a wall with hanging plants. Also set a line of backless stools along the wall to create a rustic look.
Integrated shade and lighting. Some porch swings have their own awning for protection against the sun and rain. A tabletop with a small fire pit allows for table space and the potential for light, warmth and ambience.
