Designer FAQs: Patio Lounge Furniture
How do I choose outdoor lounge furniture?
Design the outdoor lounge that you’re dreaming of using pieces like—
- Outdoor sofas and loveseats that give your space a classic living room feel
- Outdoor sectionals that effortlessly define a conversation area
- Outdoor lounge chairs that are perfect for reading in the sun or sipping a cold beverage
- Chaises with an undeniable poolside luxury look
- Other seating, like motion chairs that rock gently in the breeze, and ottomans that can be used as a seat or a table in a pinch
- Coffee and end tables that keep drinks, books, and more within reach
To get a better idea of what furniture might fit in your space, try our at-home 3D room planner. Measure your space’s length and width, input those measurements, and select the “outdoor” or “patio” options to start designing.

- Grade A Plantation Teak is a durable, sustainable wood. Teak evolves as it ages—it develops a silvery patina and may develop slight fissures or lifts in its grain as it reacts with the elements. Our teak collections include—
- Bridgewater Cove
- Millbrook

How do I make my patio lounge furniture last?
Every piece of outdoor furniture we make is artisan-crafted for many seasons of enjoyment, given the right care. Here are some easy steps:
- Remove cushions and store them when not in use.
- For extra peace of mind, purchase custom-fit outdoor furniture covers.
- For specific maintenance and cleaning instructions, visit each piece’s product page or view our Use & Care guide.
How do I make my outdoor lounge feel as luxurious as my indoor rooms?
Let your favorite indoor luxuries inspire your outdoor décor choices. Here are other products we carry:
- Outdoor pillows can add swappable pops of color to your space, or you can keep them neutral. Ours are made from the same weather- and fade-resistant fabrics as our outdoor cushions.
- Outdoor rugs in neutrals that look like jute, or colorful rugs with bold patterns, can instantly set the mood. Our outdoor rugs are also weather and stain resistant.
- Faux outdoor plants add a hint of green to the patio or create privacy around the pool, no matter the season.
- Outdoor fire table offer the warmth and ambience of a flickering fire. Ask a designer to help determine whether your outdoor space has sufficient overhead and side-to-side clearance.
- Keep yourself and your guests shaded with a rectangular or round patio umbrella.
Feel free to bring your favorite indoor items outside—a blanket for reading, vases to create a centerpiece—just remember to take them inside with you, as they’re not designed for extended outdoor use.

My patio has a small footprint. Can I still design an outdoor lounge?
You can transform even the smallest patio or terrace into a private relaxation spot with a loveseat or pair of chairs and an end table. Don’t forget a rug and a pair of pillows!
