Which material for lounge furniture & garden furniture suits my garden or balcony?
Start your selection of Lidl outdoor lounge furniture for the garden and balcony with the material: Do you like timeless, natural wood or modern garden furniture made of ultra-light aluminum? How about urban Rope design or classic wickerwork? In addition to the design, other factors also play a role:
Outdoor garden furniture made of wood
They look particularly cosy and natural and are suitable for any outdoor area. The material is dimensionally stable and durable. Wooden outdoor lounge furniture looks best on the patio / in the garden.
Aluminium
Is the ideal material for outdoor furniture on balconies or terraces. The metal is super light and the furniture is easy to move and store. In addition, aluminium garden furniture often has a smaller footprint. The look is sleek and modern and therefore timeless.
Rope design
This design offers eye-catching effects. The weave of durable aluminium and accent materials visually breaks up even expansive lounge furniture and gives your patio or garden a trendy yet timeless style.
Compact outdoor garden furniture for balconies and patios: what do I look out for when space is limited?
If you want to make clever use of every inch of your outdoor lounge, your garden furniture sets for the patio or balcony should have a few basic features:
- Foldable and extendable - comfortable seating when you need it. Space for other things when needed. Folding garden chairs or extendable garden tables adapt easily.
- Light and handy - stow away, set up, move. The lighter your garden and lounge furniture is, the easier it is to rearrange your place in the sun.
- Small footprint - foldable armchairs or small tables take up less space, but are still comfortable and practical. Also clever? Hanging chairs that still leave room for other things!
- Gentle on the floor - if you move garden furniture often, it should be particularly gentle on the floor. Look for rubberized feet and smooth surfaces.
- Dual functions - garden stools are great spare seats for visitors. Just put a cushion on it and relax!
Setting the scene for outdoor garden furniture: How do I set up my outdoor lounge?
Buy garden furniture and your summer space is ready? There's more! When choosing outdoor furniture for your balcony, garden or patio, it's best to make it really cozy right away!
Seat cushions and seat pads
Not only do they ensure long-lasting seating comfort, they also set colour and design accents. The rule here is: whatever you like is allowed. Timeless natural nuances such as grey, brown or green always work.
Sun protection
Is essential - especially if your lounge furniture is free-standing in the garden or on the patio. It's nice if the parasol or awning picks up on the colour ideas of your upholstery - this also highlights the design of your garden furniture.
Summer lounge without plants?
Unimaginable! If you don't have a garden, beautiful plants in pots, hanging baskets and the like not only give you a real feeling of nature. They also improve the air around you and, depending on their size, provide additional shade.
If you have a lot of space in the garden, you can arrange several relaxation spots. In addition to a large seating area with outdoor furniture, you can set up garden loungers or Hollywood swings under beautiful trees or hidden between bushes. This way, everyone can find a retreat for lazy hours in the sun.
Caring for outdoor furniture for the garden and balcony: What is important?
Whether wood, aluminum or plastic: garden and lounge furniture needs (a little) care. After all, they are constantly exposed to wind and weather. Garden furniture made of wood requires the most care, but can also last the longest. Regular oiling increases its durability and preserves its appearance.
Plastic or aluminum furniture, on the other hand, should only be cleaned with a little water and all-purpose cleaner and its stability checked at the start of the season.
The following applies to all outdoor garden furniture: do not leave it outside in winter, but store it in a dry, temperature-stable place. They should not be exposed to frost. Wooden furniture should also not be covered, as otherwise mold can grow under the tarpaulin.
In summer, your lounge furniture can of course stay outside. However, protect it from intense, direct UV radiation. This bleaches the colors and removes moisture from the wood.
