SITTING in the great outdoors is never a bad idea. You just have to make room for a cool, comfy outdoor hangout — regardless of what the temperature is.

You can put garden chairs in the backyard or front lawn overlooking just about anything.

The chairs should be comfortable, durable, and add beauty to your exterior space.

There is always something in the stores to suit every household, namely simple wooden folding chairs, easy-to-maintain resin chairs, ornate metal chairs, Adirondack chairs and hard-wood chairs. These chairs help you sit back and relax in the ultimate summer accessory. They too are of low maintenance.

Wooden styles look natural and would blend in with the greenery. For a contemporary look, try a decorative metal or rattan set.

It would be good if you have a tall tree and place those garden chairs below it. If you don’t have one, get a parasol (light umbrella) with a base to give you shade and protection from ultraviolet rays.

You can also place garden chairs on a section of raised decking with a touch of class. Place a few pots with tall flowering plants around the deck. Adding climbing plants would create a lovely shady spot.

STARTING POINT

Firstly, you need to assess your space — where you want to put the chairs and whether there is room to add a table.

Then you need to think about the style you want in order to continue the vibe of your indoor decor outside. If you want a rustic look then go for wooden chairs. If you don’t have that many plants in your garden and want to add colour, throw a few vibrant cushions on the chairs.

Next, you need to consider comfort. You should look for chairs that come with outdoor cushions made from fade- and mildew-resistant fabric. Adirondack chairs are also recommended as they have classic style and offer comfortable seating to admire the skyline on a beautiful day out.

Finally, if rain and shine bothers you, just add a parasol or large patio umbrella that will provide plenty of shade on those sunny and rainy days.
