As winter begins to wane and a few warmer and sunnier days start to break through the dark skies we start to think about outdoor living. This includes spending more time on our decks and patios with dreams of escaping our closed in winter homes. As we clean our decks and lanai spaces, and even prepare them for upgrades of one kind or another its a good time to consider furniture upgrades as well.

When considering furniture for outdoor areas or covered areas that could get sun or humidity, we need to consider important factors when planning our furniture purchases. If you think you might want furniture with cushions then those cushions will need to be made of a weather resistant material. These materials include: acrylics, polyester, nylon, propylene, or a combination of any of these. The big box stores will carry seating and dining furniture that have these style cushions but your choices are typically limited to one or maybe 2 colors, and their stuff typically looks “el cheapo” if Im being kind.

At American Rattan Superstore you will have a huge collection of customizeable collections to choose from. The Grand Isle collection shown here from South Sea Rattan is a wonderful example of premium outdoor furniture you will love! This is a perfect example of customizeable outdoor furniture because it comes in 2 different finishes; soft granite as shown, and a dark caramel finish. Plus, there are dozens of different fabrics available and most of them are the highly desired Sunbrella(tm) fabrics.

When your ready to get serious in your upgrade its better to go to the furniture stores that specialize in customization. With customization your ideas and plans for your spaces can quickly take off with a variety of styles, finishes, and fabrics being available. When it comes to fabrics many people prefer the SUNBRELLA(TM) line of fabrics made in the USA for use in outside areas.

Teakwood and Acacia Wood or Wood and Wicker mixed blend furniture

Although outdooor sythetic wicker remains a popular style outdoor furniture the outdoor wood variety are becoming more and more popular. These lines include Teakwood, Acacia wood, or a combination of these with sythetic wicker blending.
