We have been working hard on the exterior of our home for some added curb appeal since we’re getting ready to sell. One of the changes we have been making is re-doing the siding on the back of our home, being the front and sides are all stucco. And since this weekend is going to be 80, I’m eager to get it wrapped up this week so that we can enjoy our patio and the Mississippi river view.
One of the many staging pieces I’m on the hunt for is patio furniture. When you want to change your homes look, but you are not prepared to start a massive project (like re-siding like we are), the perfect outdoor furniture can help bring a breath of fresh air. In fact, this is one of the easiest and most effective ways of improving your house.
So today we wanted to share some pictures of our patio area, upgrades we’ve been making and tips to choosing the best outdoor furniture. Can’t wait to show you guys the after and what we end up buying to compliment our home. By bearing in mind some essential details you can get this just right and enjoy more time outdoors very comfortably.
Think About the Size
The first thing to consider is how big you need your new outdoor furniture to be. If you need to fill a big space then you will want to look at pieces that are big enough to fill it well.
On the other hand, if you have got limited space outside then you will want to be careful not to choose anything that is too big. It can be difficult to accurately imagine new furniture in your garden, so it makes sense to measure the distances involved in order to make a good decision.
You certainly don’t want to end up with something that doesn’t look right once you put it into place. This means that you should take your time and get a perfectly sized piece.
Consider the Use it will Receive
Do you need some outdoor furniture that can stand up to a regular use, or would you be happy with something that isn’t designed for such heavy use? We all tend to use our outdoor spaces in different ways and with different levels of frequency.
For example, is there a chance that you will eat out there most day? Or, will it only be used on special occasions? The climate where you live and your general lifestyle will both play a big part in how often you go out to use your new furniture.
Ideally, you will see this as an opportunity to spend more quality time outdoors. However, you should be honest with yourself about how often you will really use it.
Before
Size Add Some Style
If your outdoor space lacks a bit of style then it can be difficult to know how to sort this out. Thankfully, the addition of the right kind of outdoor furniture provides an easy way to make any property look better.
The right table and chair, sofa, or other item can really add a touch of class to your garden. This makes is an incredibly simple way to liven up your home with little effort.
After
Encourage More Outdoor Living
Many of us could do with getting more outdoor living into our lives. This is a great way of getting out of the house to enjoy some fresh air and a different outlook, and it might also free up your kitchen in order to get more space or to remodel it.
Of course, the effort of going out of doors can seem like too much of a hassle at times. This is why some sparkling new furniture out there can make a big difference to your lifestyle.
If you make a smart choice then you will find that it is a lot easier to head out for some time in the garden than it used to be.
By picking some great new outdoor furniture you can get a new favorite place in your home very easily and enjoy it for years to come.
