Outdoor dining chairs. What should they contribute?
Outdoor dining chairs can be more than just a piece of furniture to sit on. In addition to that, they can contribute to decorating the outdoor space and allow us to enjoy the outdoors to the fullest. These are some issues that garden chairs can and should contribute.
Comfort and style
Outdoor dining chairs should be comfortable. It is important that they facilitate a comfortable and ergonomic posture in front of the table. In addition, they must provide a personal touch that identifies with the tastes of the owners.
Durability and resistance
We are talking about outdoor chairs and that means their exposure to the weather. It is important that they resist the incidence of sunlight, rain or wind. It is also advisable not to deteriorate in the face of humidity and that they are made of durable materials.
Design and life
Finally, at Defora Home we believe that outdoor chairs can bring extra elegance to the garden. They can contribute to creating a welcoming and lively atmosphere. Whether with a rustic, modern, minimalist or avant-garde design, it is possible to fill the garden with charm and comfort.
Types of outdoor chairs
Dedicating time and desire to the design and decoration of the garden is the first step to achieve a pleasant area. As they are dining chairs, our advice is that they always have a backrest. Lunches or dinners can last for hours and it is always much more pleasant to be able to rest your back. In addition, that position we talked about before will be much more natural with support. From there we can choose between several options. We are talking about fixed, folding or stackable chairs.
Fixed
Fixed chairs are the classic ones that cannot be folded. Without a doubt, they take up more space than other options but they dress the table at all times.
Folding
Folding outdoor dining chairs provide a much more flexible environment. The folding chairs can be easily stored taking up little space and are quick and easy to set up.
Stackable
This type of outdoor chairs are ideal for gardens with limited space. When it comes to storing them, they stack on top of each other very easily. In this way, free space is obtained in the garden.
Any of the 3 versions of chairs may or may not include arms. Undoubtedly, the arms provide more comfort and allow you to rest better throughout the upper body of the body. Armless models are also comfortable and provide more freedom of movement when sitting and standing. Regardless of the type of dining chair you choose, it is interesting that they all have a firm and ergonomic structure. Finally, you can also opt for including cushions to match the color or design of the chair.
Tricks to always keep the chairs as good as new
When buying outdoor dining chairs, it is important to take into account the degree of maintenance they require. We review some aspects that should be taken care of to always have them as new.
Cleaning
Most outdoor dining chairs can be cleaned with neutral soap and water. It is not advisable to use abrasive products so as not to deteriorate the surface. If it is wooden chairs, it is advisable to apply once a year a sealant or varnish to protect the surface.
Protection
The garden is an area that is visited and used a lot during the spring and summer months. Undoubtedly, in autumn or winter it is less common to go outdoors.
Well, our advice is that during the cold months the chairs are protected with a cover or canvas. That way they will be protected from the cold, rain or snow.
Storage
It is always advisable to have some dry and protected space to store the chairs while they are not in use.
State
The last tip to check the condition of the chair parts. If any loose or rusty screws are detected, it is important to tighten or repair them.
Choose the style that best suits the environment
A good idea regarding outdoor dining chairs is to combine them with the indoor dining model. In this way, a very interesting feeling of continuity and uniformity is achieved. Harmony is provided and the concept of a cozy home is further enhanced. It is also interesting to get the chair’s material, colour and design right. In that sense, wooden chairs offer a rustic, comfortable atmosphere with a minimalist touch. Aluminium requires little maintenance and usually has a modern style in very light parts. On the other hand, rattan has a very successful natural appearance. The chairs are weatherproof and very durable.
