When you’re shopping for outdoor furniture, it’s important to find a material that can hold up to the elements. Here, we dive all-in on outdoor wicker furniture options and what you need to know!
Wicker is a weave, not a material. There is no wicker tree, and you’ll never find comfortable patio furniture growing naturally in the high wilderness. Wicker furniture can just as easily be synthetic as natural.
Lots of wicker furniture is made from common natural materials including rattan, bamboo and willow.
One of the most popular examples of synthetic wicker furniture is Cabana Coast outdoor wicker furniture. It looks, feels and functions just like natural wicker and is 100% recyclable.
It’s UV and weather-resistant, non-fading, highly durable, easily washable, and covered by a 3-year warranty.
We recommend most buyers stick to dark colours of wicker furniture. If you choose white or light beige wicker, even though the look can be classic, wear and tear takes a toll faster than on dark furniture.
There are still plenty of dark options including shades of brown, green, shadowy beige, red and black.
Also, measure out the space you have and think about the best way to maintain a balance of sitting and standing space. Large furniture sets can fill up an area quickly and your outdoor space should never feel cramped. The appearance of wicker already reduces the feeling of a cramped space, but planning is very important.
Although we recommend staying away from white wicker, we are very much on the side of brightening up your space with light pillows and accessories.. Light coloured cushions and pillows bring a beautiful contrast to your outdoor living space, especially if you have a medium-dark stain on your wood patio and dark wicker furniture.
Many cushions and pillows say they’re weatherproof, but we still recommend bringing them in or covering them when you aren’t using them. And of course bring them in for the winter.
