Your backyard, patio, or deck is more than just extra space—it’s where life happens. It’s where you sip your morning coffee, host summer cookouts, watch the kids play, or unwind after a long day. The right outdoor furniture doesn’t just fill space; it shapes how you live, connect, and relax at home.
At Choice Outdoor Furniture, we believe every outdoor area deserves to be welcoming, comfortable, and tailored to your needs. But with so many options—poly furniture, classic patio sets, accessories—how do you know what’s right for you?
This friendly, in-depth guide will walk you through everything you need to know:
- What makes for great outdoor furniture?
- How do you pick the best materials for your climate?
- What styles fit your lifestyle, family, and entertaining habits?
- And how can you make sure your investment lasts for years to come?
Let’s create a space you’ll love—season after season!
1. Why Outdoor Furniture Matters More Than You Think
Think about your favorite memories at home. Chances are, some of the best ones happened outdoors:
- Family BBQs on the deck
- Birthday parties with friends in the backyard
- Quiet mornings in the sun with a good book
- Evenings under the stars with just the right lighting and a cozy seat
Great outdoor furniture makes these moments possible. It’s not just about appearance—it’s about comfort, durability, and making it easy to enjoy your space.
The right pieces:
- Encourage you to spend more time outside
- Provide a “room” for relaxing, dining, or playing
- Stand up to rain, sun, snow, and spills
- Show off your style and hospitality
2. Getting to Know Your Options: Materials That Matter
Before you pick a color or style, think about the basics: materials. At Choice Outdoor Furniture, we specialize in poly furniture—but what does that mean, and why does it matter?
Poly Furniture: Built for American Weather
Poly (also called poly lumber or HDPE lumber) is a game changer for outdoor spaces.
Here’s why so many families and homeowners are choosing poly:
- Weatherproof: Poly doesn’t absorb water, so it won’t rot, warp, or crack—even after years of rain, snow, or sun.
- Fade Resistant: Our poly furniture is UV-stabilized. The color you choose is the color you keep—no peeling or repainting.
- Easy to Clean: Spills, dirt, and even bird droppings wipe away with just soap and water.
- Sustainable: Most poly furniture is made from recycled plastics. You get style and strength while helping the planet.
- No Splinters, No Rust: Unlike wood or metal, poly stays smooth and comfortable.
Other Common Materials (and Why Poly Outperforms)
- Wood: Looks great, but needs yearly sealing/staining; can splinter or rot.
- Metal: Strong, but may rust and gets hot in the sun.
- Wicker: Lightweight and stylish, but can fade, unravel, or get brittle over time.
Bottom line:
If you want furniture that lasts, looks great, and requires almost no maintenance, poly is the smart choice—especially for American climates that swing from freezing winters to steamy summers.
3. Matching Furniture to Your Lifestyle
Every family and home is unique. Your outdoor furniture should fit your life—not the other way around. Here are some questions to help you choose:
Are You All About Entertaining?
- Big gatherings: Go for large dining tables, lots of seating (think sectional sofas, extra chairs, or benches), and serving carts or buffet tables.
- Casual hangouts: Adirondack chairs, rocking chairs, and fire pit seating make it easy to relax and chat.
Do You Have a Young Family?
- Kid-friendly: Choose rounded edges, sturdy poly furniture (no splinters!), and easy-clean surfaces.
- Activity zones: Picnic tables, play sets, or colorful chairs can make your backyard the go-to spot for playdates and family meals.
Do You Love Quiet Moments?
- Solo spaces: A single glider, porch swing, or lounge chair is perfect for reading, napping, or enjoying the sunrise.
- Side tables: Always handy for a mug of coffee, your phone, or a small plant.
Do You Need Flexible Spaces?
- Modular sets: Sectionals and movable chairs can be rearranged for parties or quiet nights.
- Stackable or folding furniture: Easy to store when not in use or for seasonal changes.
Is Year-Round Use Important?
- Weatherproof poly: No need to drag furniture indoors for winter.
- Accessories: Add cushions, throws, and outdoor heaters to keep things cozy in every season.
4. How to Choose Colors and Styles That Feel Like “You”
Outdoor spaces are an extension of your home. Whether you love classic neutrals or bold, bright colors, Choice Outdoor Furniture has you covered.
Classic & Timeless
- Go for deep browns, grays, or white.
- Great for traditional homes, or if you want your furniture to blend seamlessly with nature.
Modern & Playful
- Blues, reds, yellows, or two-tone combos for a fun pop of color.
- Perfect for families, creative spaces, or anyone who wants their backyard to stand out.
Mix & Match
- Combine different styles—Adirondack chairs in one color, benches in another, a dining set in a third.
- Use cushions and throws to tie everything together.
Tip: Not sure what you want? Start with one or two key pieces. You can always add more later.
5. Don’t Forget the Accessories
The little things make a big difference. Once you have your main furniture, consider:
- Outdoor rugs: Define a seating or dining area and add softness underfoot.
- Pillows & cushions: Boost comfort and color.
- Lighting: String lights, lanterns, or solar lights create ambiance for evenings.
- Umbrellas or pergolas: Shade for sunny days.
- Planters: Greenery adds life and freshness to any space.
- Outdoor storage: Keep cushions, games, or grilling tools close at hand but out of the rain.
At Choice Outdoor Furniture, we offer a growing range of outdoor accessories designed to match our furniture and make your space even more enjoyable.
6. Making the Most of Your Investment: Care & Maintenance
One of the best things about poly furniture is how little it asks of you.
Care tips:
- Clean with just soap and water—a garden hose works great.
- No need to paint, seal, or stain.
- Store cushions indoors if you want, but the furniture itself can stay outside all year.
