How To Choose Luxury Garden Furniture For The Perfect Outdoor Sofa Style [Guest Post]
If you want to treat yourself or your family to a luxury outdoor sofa to enjoy your garden with this summer, there are many different designs, styles and models to choose from. Although you’ll probably choose your garden sofa based on how well its design suits your lifestyle and your outdoor space, when deciding to purchase items of rattan garden furniture such as this it’s important to think about how well it fulfils other criteria too. Typical luxury patio furniture ranges can be made from different types of rattan materials, and choosing to purchase the wrong one will mean that you won’t get as much enjoyment out of it as you deserve to. Let’s take a look at the different types of rattan garden furniture sofa ranges available in the UK.
Natural Rattan Outdoor Sofas…
Instantly recognisable for its classic looks and design, natural rattan outdoor sofa and natural rattan garden furniture ranges are constructed using durable wooden materials such as wicker and rattan. Although strong for a natural material, rattan itself isn’t able to withstand regular use and extreme conditions such as warm or cold temperatures because it begins to biodegrade, like all natural materials do. A luxury outdoor sofa made entirely from rattan will be usable; however its natural fragility means that it is only suitable for use in mild conditions or indoors.
Mixed Rattan Outdoor Sofas…
A rattan garden furniture sofa range that is labelled as mixed rattan will typically be constructed from a more hard-wearing combination of natural rattan or wicker and raw synthetic materials. Although this combination means that this type of luxury outdoor sofa will be more suited to outdoor use, the natural elements will still biodegrade and wear out in some weather conditions rendering it unsuitable for year round use.
PU Synthetic Rattan Outdoor Sofas…
A PU synthetic rattan garden sofa range is, out of all three types, the most hard-wearing, durable and weather-proof of the three options. PU synthetic rattan is typically a material made from a mixture of raw synthetics such as vinyls and PU, and unlike the mixed rattan material detailed above typically has no natural wood present in its mixture. A luxury outdoor sofa made with PU synthetic rattan will be strong and suitable for regular use outdoors; many can even be left outside all year round in all weather conditions. And although PU synthetic rattan is very different type of material from natural rattan, it still offers the same good looks and luxurious feel. As well as outdoor sofa sets, you may also consider a garden table and chairs set for alfresco entertaining.
