When choosing garden furniture for a small outdoor area, consider the space. Think about its functionality and looks. Here are some tips to help you select the best furniture for your backyard:
Space-saving designs
Choose space-saving furniture. For example, folding chairs and tables can be easily stored. Consider pieces that serve two functions, such as storage benches or ottomans. They can be used for seating and storage.
Lightweight and portable
Opt for lightweight and easily portable outdoor furniture. This makes it easier to rearrange your outdoor space and allows you to store the furniture indoors in some seasons. Pine and spruce are some of the lighter solid woods used in outdoor furniture.
Foldable or drop-leaf tables
Consider using a foldable or drop-leaf table to maximize space usage. These tables can be expanded or folded down as needed.
Transparent or open designs
Designs with clear or open elements, like glass-top tables or slatted chairs, can make a space feel big. They also prevent it from feeling cramped.
Comfortable seating
Consider using small sofas or lounge chairs with cushions. They create a cozy seating area without taking up much space when designing a small space.
