PRACTICAL DETAILS
Purpose. What’s the purpose of your party furniture? Is it primarily for a small family (you and the kids), or will you be entertaining a lot more people? When will you be using your outdoor space? Mostly at night, once a week or only on special occasions? Answering these questions will help you determine the size and type of outdoor furniture you will need, as well as other accessories.
Functional needs. Think about how you would be optimising your outdoor furniture. Choose furniture pieces that may perform more than one function to provide solutions to a challenging space. What do you need to have? For instance, a teak storage bench can double as a table, seat, cooler or storage space for cushions when it rains.
Storage space. If you don’t use your outdoor space all year round, you’ll need off-season storage. Chairs that fold or stack easily require less storage space than those that don’t.
Size. Consider the size or quantity of the people you will be accommodating. Of course, it is not recommended for you to buy a square table meant for four when you will be expecting more people. Round tables are usually more versatile.
