Patio Furniture

Select the perfect patio furniture for your outdoor space

Which patio furniture to choose for Canada's weather?

Regardless of the season, ensure you're ready for any weather surprises with the right outdoor furniture.

To fully enjoy your garden, terrace, or patio, it's essential to choose weather-resistant furniture. The two main elements that can deteriorate your outdoor furniture are water and sunlight. Whether you opt for wood, aluminum, synthetic rattan, or recycled plastic, each material has its advantages: teak, for example, is highly resistant to moisture and temperature variations. Aluminum, lightweight and sturdy, does not rust and is perfect for the harsh Canadian climate. Synthetic rattan is UV and moisture-resistant, and recycled plastic is practical, economical, and eco-friendly. For more information on the different types of materials to choose for outdoor furniture, please refer to our article on garden furniture materials.

Cushions and fabrics, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to moisture and sunlight. Choose water-repellent and quick-drying fabrics with UV protection to prevent fading and deterioration. This way, you can enjoy the summer in peace, even on rainy days.

Finally, in winter, water, freezing and thawing can accelerate wear and tear on furniture. To protect them, we recommend placing furniture and cushions in a dry place, or covering them with protective covers (if you don't have a dry place to store them).

Which outdoor furniture to choose for a terrace?

When furnishing your terrace, whether large or small, it's crucial to choose furniture that suits your lifestyle and needs, so you can make the most of the available space. If you prefer convivial moments, opt for sets such as a sofa, sectional or conversation set. These modern, comfortable options are perfect for spending time with friends, family or simply relaxing after a long day. You'll be able to create a warm and inviting space for sharing and relaxing.
For lovers of fine dining, a 2, 4 or 6-seater dining set is ideal. Add a parasol for shade from the sun and a BBQ for gourmet moments, and you've got the perfect ambience for sharing a meal in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.
For small terraces, it can be difficult to find furniture that won't overload the space. Opt for a collection of minimalist, compact and modular furniture, which allows you to furnish your space with elegance and lightness. A touch of color will add style, while the modularity of the furniture will give you the flexibility to quickly change the layout to suit your needs.

Which Garden Furniture to Choose for a Patio?

Furnishing your patio can sometimes be more complicated than it seems. Unlike a terrace, the space is generally larger, but this can also make it more challenging to organize well. As with the terrace, the important thing is to base your choices on your lifestyle, which will guide you in your layout decisions.

If you enjoy convivial and informal spaces, a sectional accompanied by a coffee table and armchairs will create a true garden lounge, perfect for relaxing moments and sharing meals. For those who associate summer with family or friends' meals, a dining set is an excellent option. You can even customize your own dining set by choosing a table and chairs that match your style, creating a place for sharing good meals.

Another idea would be to divide your patio into different areas that coexist harmoniously and meet various needs. For example, you can set up a dining area with a dining table while planning a relaxation space with a sofa, loveseat, or conversation set for moments of relaxation over a drink or a good conversation.

Which Outdoor Furniture to Choose for a Garden?

To fully enjoy the beautiful days and your outdoor space, beyond your terrace and garden lounge, you can add outdoor furniture that creates areas conducive to relaxation.

Lounge chairs are ideal for relaxing in the sun, by the pool, or in your garden. Choose comfortable, adjustable models made with weather-resistant materials like aluminum or textilene to ensure their durability even in varying climatic conditions.

A swing or rocking chair is also an excellent option for moments of relaxation or conviviality, whether with family or friends, thanks to their gentle and soothing motion. These pieces of furniture not only add comfort but also a warm and welcoming atmosphere to your garden, creating a space that is both functional and aesthetic.

Conversation sets, consisting of two armchairs and a small side table, are perfect for enjoying a coffee, a drink, or having a quiet conversation. Some models even come with a loveseat or sofa, allowing you to accommodate more people and foster convivial moments. These sets can be placed directly on the lawn or in a secluded corner of the garden, creating a living space apart, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a moment of peace and quiet.

Find the best umbrella for your outdoor space

Choosing the right umbrella is essential if you want to enjoy summer sheltered from the sun, and there are several criteria to consider. Choose a fabric that offers effective protection against humidity and UV rays, such as polyester. For the opening mechanism, you can opt for manual opening, a crank or pivoting models that allow you to easily adjust the angle of the parasol. Stability is crucial: choose a solid, suitable base, especially if you live in a windy area. In this case, a parasol with a small ventilation opening at the top is recommended to prevent it being blown away. The type of umbrella, whether classic, hanging or with an offset arm, should be chosen according to your specific needs. The material, whether aluminum, wood or modern materials, plays a key role in durability and aesthetics. Last but not least, design and color must harmonize with your garden furniture to create an elegant and coherent whole.

What are the best accessories for your patio furniture?

To transform your outdoor space into a true summer living area, layout and decoration are essential. By paying attention to these details, you can turn your terrace, patio, or garden into a friendly space integrated with your home, extending the comfort of your interior to the outside. Choose accessories specifically designed for outdoor use, offering protection against water, humidity, and UV rays.

Enhance your outdoor space with elements that highlight your furniture. The integration of lighting allows you to extend your summer evenings by creating a friendly atmosphere. Outdoor rugs soften the coldness of the floors while adding color and comfort. To delineate your spaces while preserving the view, decorative panels add an aesthetic touch and provide privacy.

When temperatures are cooler, a fire table or patio heater allows you to continue enjoying your evenings outdoors, creating a warm atmosphere. Complete these arrangements with various decorative accessories: colorful cushions, artificial flowers and plants, elegant tableware, candles, vases, and flower pots. These elements personalize your space and enhance the welcoming ambiance of your terrace or garden, creating a harmonious and friendly setting to fully enjoy your outdoor moments.
