Patio & Outdoor

If you’re looking to take advantage of the great outdoors, furnishing your home with an all-weather lounge set can be a great first step. By bringing the indoors out, your family can lounge, relax and entertain beyond your home’s four walls so you can enjoy the fresh air year-round.

Whether you’re after a rustic look or a beachside getaway, we’re certain our range can furnish your home. Regardless of your interior design taste, the Eureka Street Furniture team have sourced an array of stylish patio sets that are built to last and made with quality craftsmanship.

First things first – if you don’t have the luxury of sizing up or testing out our patio sets in-store, there are just a few things you’ll need to check. To make sure that you buy the best fit for your space, make sure to:

• Measure up the space you have available
• Draw out a rough floor plan as to where your pieces will go
• Make sure there is enough room for pathways, walking and other outdoor equipment, including barbecues (which need to be a safe distance away from seating arrangements).

Figuring this out ahead of time will ensure that your new area is functional and well designed. You might think that the most eye-catching pieces will look great with your existing aesthetic, but all the smart-looking features in the world won’t make up for pieces that are dysfunctional or oversized.

Once you have a base plan mapped out, then you can start to consider:

Functionality: Are you planning to have evening dinners outdoors or just need extra space to relax? Depending on whether you’re planning to have guests, you may need some extra seating and a wide table. If not, a chaise lounge may better suit your needs.

Material: Some materials stand up to the elements better than others. You’ll want to look for sets made from materials that can stand up to harsh wind and rain. Treated timber is your best bet for exterior use. Wicker pieces will also stand up to the weather and develop a more worn-down, broken-in look over time.

Lastly, if you’re planning to store your lounge away during the winter, make sure that your family is able to store, set up and take down each piece safely. Not looking for seasonal items? Sturdy timber tables, lounges, and chairs don’t need to be stored away and can stand up against stronger winds.
