If you've been looking for patio chairs and dining sets, you're well aware of the sheer variety of outdoor furniture. It can feel daunting, sorting through tons of internet listings and visiting showrooms across town. Fortunately, Greathouse is here to help you make the right choice when it comes to patio furniture. We're San Diego, CA's go-to showroom for both indoor and outdoor furniture, and we're excited to help you furnish your outside living space. While no two customers are exactly the same, we do have some general tips for selecting the best furniture for your home. Check out our recommendations below or call us for additional information.
First things first, you'll want to figure out just how much space you have to work with. Be sure to get exact measurements of your yard, especially if you're planning on purchasing large furniture. It's also a good idea to consider your surroundings. Do you have an in-ground pool you'll need to work around? Do your neighbors have a wooden fence that forms the border between your properties? These are both examples of space issues that could impact what kind of furniture you choose for your patio.
Before you actually make any purchases, it's in your best interest to create a budget. Unless money is no object for you, try to stay true to your budget. You might lay out line items for how much you want to spend on an outdoor sectional, patio table, and other design elements. Along the way, you may need to make adjustments to your cost estimates, but having a budget on paper is the best way to stop yourself from breaking the bank.
As you browse rows of outdoor sofas, be sure to try out your favorites before making a decision. While some sectionals and chairs may be attractive, they might not offer the same comfort as they do beauty. At our showroom, we invite you to take a seat whenever you see a piece you like. Be sure that the sofa or lounge chair you choose is as comfy as it is aesthetically-pleasing.
When you browse patio furniture sets, you should always ask about potential maintenance. Consider how much time you have to devote to caring for furniture, and decide if a difficult-to-maintain set is worth it. Most homeowners prefer to select something with easy cleaning instructions and infrequent maintenance needs. However, the trade-off between beauty and convenience is entirely up to you!
Before going to checkout, consider the materials the furniture is made from. Certain materials are more durable than others, and you'll want to account for that when making a purchase. Some outdoor patio furniture pieces might have a higher initial price tag but don't require additional maintenance or cleaning costs. Be sure to ask our team about the pros and cons of each material before you add an outdoor dining set or sofa to your wish list.
Don't forget to consider your own personal style! Between budgetary and maintenance concerns, it can be easy to leave out your personal preferences when selecting a piece of furniture. Look for furnishings that match your overall aesthetic. For example, do you want something modern and fresh? In that case, opt for sleek lines and neutral colors. If you prefer a tropical look, bright colors and wicker furniture may be the right choice for you. Plus, you can always spruce up your space with accessories, like vases, area rugs, and cushions. Should you need some help, the Greathouse team is always here to assist.
While it might be tempting to go for the cheapest option when it comes to patio sets, that isn't always the most cost-effective option. In fact, you can save money in the long run when you opt for high-quality materials. Durable materials are more likely to stand the test of time, which means you won't need to replace your patio furniture frequently. Our team can point you to some of the best quality patio furniture available.
Regardless of your style or space constraints, the team at Greathouse can help you choose the perfect patio furniture. Follow our tips above, or reach out to our team directly for more pointers.
