Choosing the Right Outdoor Furniture Materials for Your Design Projects

As design professionals, you know outdoor spaces are extensions of the home, demanding the same attention to detail as interiors. This guide highlights key features and benefits of popular outdoor furniture materials, helping you make informed design choices.


Understanding the Elements

Outdoor furniture must endure weather challenges, from intense sun and rain to wind and fluctuating temperatures. Choosing the right materials is crucial for longevity, performance, and client satisfaction. We focus on durable, weather-resistant options that maintain their beauty and functionality over time.
