Outdoor Living: The Best Weatherproof Furniture
Shopping for outdoor furniture looks different from buying for your interior spaces. The most significant difference is the need to prioritize durability. Considering questions like “What can get rained on, what fabrics are durable/washable/low maintenance?” is how we approach shopping for the best outdoor furniture. This ensures that we are investing in pieces that will last for multiple seasons. Below are five of the best weatherproof chairs, tables, and sets that are both beautiful in design, and designed with weather in mind.
An outdoor bean bag chair wouldn’t be designed correctly unless it was covered in a durable, water-repellent, fabric that is resistant to fading, mildew, and chlorine. Luckily these ones are! The bean bags are covered in Sunbrella fabric, the best in outdoor upholstery, and come in two different shades of blue and two more tropical leafy prints. They make for the most comfortable outdoor lounging and are such a fun way to mix up the seating choices on your patios and poolside decks.

I love how versatile and elegant the Floyd outdoor table sets are! It comes in multiple arrangements to fit your needs, either smaller two-seaters or larger rectangular tops to fit around at least six guests with sizes in between. The chairs are easily stackable and are easy to keep clean by simply wiping each piece down with a damp cloth and any household cleaning solution. They have been designed to live outside and are made from aluminum with a matte powder coating to finish. Lightweight, simple and functional are great features to look for when shopping for larger furniture pieces, and the Floyd sets have all three!

The Hot Mesh Lounge Chair from Blu Dot comes in so many beautiful colors it is hard to pick a favorite! These are great chairs to have two of with a small table in between. I love them in a smaller backyard setting as the main statement, or a few strewn around a poolside, giving the setting pops of color. It can be paired with the Hot Mesh Ottoman for a full lounging experience-why not indulge? Wipe these ones down with just a slightly damp cloth to best keep their color!

The funkiest pick out of my outdoor furniture selects, but noteworthy for a few very good reasons! It is handwoven and crafted from poly wicker on a powder-coated frame, because of its fabrication it is ready for the outdoors! The shape is so dramatic, but still comfortable which of course is the most important part of any outdoor furniture piece. It must be perfect for hours and hours of lounging! I love how unique this chair is and both the texture and color it brings with it!

A company that certainly knows a thing or two about the great outdoors is of course, none other than L.L. Bean. Because of this, they have made a wonderful outdoor table that can hang out in your outdoor space all year long, as its material is more durable than treated wood. It will not warp, splinter, absorb moisture, or ever need painting, and it’s perfect for casual hosting, holding a cold beverage and chip bowl, or holding a nice outdoor light. I love how simple and practical its design is and have to respect a well-built table when I see it!
