Cushioned Patio Chairs
Adding a cushion to a patio chair is the upgrade needed to bring the comfort of indoors, outside. Cushions add a layer of comfort and softness to everything from your rocking chair to your chaise lounge. Cushions are an easy and affordable way to incorporate a trendy color or pattern on your porch or patio without spending a ton of money. Invest in cushioned patio chairs made with high-quality outdoor fabric, clean them as needed and remove them when the weather requires — you’ll be amazed how long they last.
Adirondack Chairs
Adirondack chairs never go out of style. A true coastal classic, this silhouette can grace your porch for years to come. Pair one with an ottoman and put your feet up or circle some around a fire pit to roast marshmallows. Make the investment and opt for solid wood construction made with teak or another type of rot-resistant wood. If you’re on a budget, a plastic version gives you the look for less.
Outdoor Rocking Chairs
There’s nothing more relaxing than sitting on a porch on a cool summer evening in a rocking chair. If you’re looking for a more traditional shape and style, a wood rocking chair with a slat back is always a classic. A cushioned rocker adds comfort, a swivel rocker works for both lounging and dining and a plastic rocker is an affordable alternative for your porch or patio. If you’re worried about keeping everything clean, darker colors hide dirt and scuffs easily.
Chaise Lounges
Forget about all your worries while you’re dozing in the warm afternoon sunlight stretched out on your favorite chaise lounge. Placed on your pool deck or under the shade of an umbrella, you get vacation vibes without ever leaving your own backyard. Chaise loungers in materials like wicker or wood might cost more initially but lend a pool-club-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for a deal, plastic and metal tend to be more affordable and with a little care and maintenance they can last too. Make sure you have ample space, so your deck or porch won’t feel too crowded.
Zero Gravity Chairs
Sure, it sounds high tech, but a zero-gravity chair is all about ergonomics. The unique design and shape offer the ultimate in comfort. Many designs adjust to just about any angle to evenly distribute your weight. Think of a zero gravity chair like a cross between a patio chair and a hammock, allowing you to sit or recline whenever the mood strikes. Their sturdy construction and durable fabric make them ideal outdoor patio chairs since they wipe down so easily. Some styles even have a suspended design, offering a playful boho sensibility to your space.
Outdoor Dining Chairs
Dining al fresco might be one of the greatest joys of owning a patio. Food just tastes better out in the fresh air. An essential item for any outdoor dining occasion is a chair that fits the style of your outdoor table while still being comfortable.
Mix and match. Metal chairs can work with wood tables. If you want to match wood chairs to a wood table, match the undertones in the wood or just keep the style lines consistent.
