Black Friday is this Friday! For those looking to up the ante on their outdoor entertaining, why not look to patio set sales?
Black Friday is the perfect time to upgrade your outdoor furniture and bring your patio to life! Just before the season of entertaining, summer BBQs and, of course, hosting Christmas lunch, new patio furniture can be a present to yourself.
The patio of your dreams is within your reach, all you have to do is find the deal that fits your budget best!
What is included in a patio set?
The items included in a patio set can vary depending on brand, price point and design. Most commonly, an outdoor furniture set will include a table, 4 to 6 chairs and an item such as an umbrella or side table as an accessory.
All of these furniture pieces will be suited for outdoor entertaining and will have a cohesive style that brings them together. Patio sets can be made of a range of materials, wood, metal, fabric or wicker, and will usually be fully or semi-waterproofed to be protected from rain or other damaging weather conditions.
Finding the right style for your outdoor space
There are five main things to consider when shopping for outdoor furniture sets that can make or break your outdoor space. Before investing in a patio set, think about:
- Budget
- Durability
- Allocated space
- Maintenance
- Comfort vs functionality
Budget
Your budget should be the top priority when shopping for furniture. Luckily, we’ve got the best deals from Black Friday listed below, so you don’t have go searching far and wide for the best price possible!
Your budget should include enough money for buying the furniture itself, while also having extra for delivery purposes and additional styling, such as adding throw pillows or decor.
Durability
Durability is key for outdoor patio sets, especially when it comes to managing difficult weather conditions. If you live in a rainy or temperamental area for weather, it may be best to steer away from materials that can be damaged by water, such as wicker or wood. Opting for stronger, longer-lasting materials means you can use your beautiful outdoor furniture for years to come!
Allocated space
Space is a big deal, and online shopping can be a bit tricky if you don’t know your measurements. Before beginning the search for your favourite patio set, it is recommended that you measure out the space you would like to position them and work out the best configuration. Will a table and chairs work best, or a half-lounge and table? Do you have enough space for a standing umbrella on the side?
Maintenance
How much cleaning and maintaining do you want to be doing for your outdoor furniture? While a wooden patio set requires little maintenance, having a fabric-based piece of furniture may require washing, vacuuming or even re-upholstering after a while. Depending on the style you would like, factoring in how much maintenance you wish to undertake should definitely be thought about as well.
Comfort vs functionality
Finally, comfort vs functionality. Do you want your furniture to be the ultimate comfort zone with couches and soft seating, or should it be more functional for al fresco dinners and board game nights? Think about the reason you want a patio set in the first place, and again, consider what would work best in your space.
