Your terrace is more than just a space—it’s an opportunity. With the right outdoor furniture, it can become your go-to escape, your favorite gathering spot, or your open-air dining destination. But before you buy that beautiful set you’ve been eyeing online, there are a few key steps to consider. Here’s how to choose the perfect outdoor set that complements your lifestyle, suits your space, and lasts through the seasons.
Step 1: Measure & Visualize Your Space
Before falling in love with a furniture set, you need to understand your space. Grab a measuring tape and take note of your terrace’s dimensions. Consider how people will move around the furniture and leave room for flow and comfort.
Pro tip: Sketch a quick layout or use online tools to visualize the arrangement. This helps you determine whether you need a compact bistro set or a sprawling sectional sofa.
Step 2: Define Your Outdoor Lifestyle
Ask yourself: How will I use this space most?
Your lifestyle will guide your furniture choices.
-
For Entertaining: Choose larger dining sets or modular lounges that seat more guests comfortably.
-
For Relaxing: Opt for cozy loungers, hanging chairs, or even a hammock.
-
For Dining Al Fresco: Prioritize a sturdy table and comfortable dining chairs you’ll love sitting in for hours.
Each setup serves a different purpose—make sure yours fits your everyday life.
Step 3: Choose Comfort and Style
Looks matter, but comfort is everything. If possible, test the seating in person. If not, read reviews and choose trusted brands that focus on ergonomics and quality.
Enhance both comfort and style with:
-
Plush cushions and pillows
-
Outdoor rugs
-
Accent tables
-
Soft lighting
These small additions bring warmth and personality to your outdoor area.
Step 4: Pick Durable, Low-Maintenance Materials
Your furniture needs to withstand the weather. In Lebanon, that means sun exposure, humidity, and sometimes rain.
Look for:
-
UV-resistant finishes to prevent fading
-
Aluminum or teak frames for longevity
-
Quick-dry cushions that resist mold and mildew
The right materials mean less time worrying and more time enjoying your outdoor space.
Invest in What You’ll Use and Love
An outdoor set isn’t just about filling a space—it’s about extending your home’s warmth and functionality outside. Choose pieces that serve your routine, express your style, and stand the test of time. Whether you’re lounging with a book, entertaining friends, or sharing a family meal under the stars, the right furniture will make it all the more memorable.
