How to Get a Good Deal on Outdoor Furniture

Furniture Options

Do you have a patio that you’re itching to transform into a beautiful place? You have a world of possibility open to you: if you just put in a few key furniture and decor items, you could have yourself a wonderful, pleasant, sunny lounge space in your home.

You could use a furnished outdoor space for pleasant brunches or dinners with family. You could sit back with your friends there, sharing a drink outdoors, breathing the atmosphere in. Or you could relax on your patio by yourself with a book, a beverage, and the open sky above you.

You can check out these tips for furnishing your patio, if you want recommendations on how to go about making yourself a space like that.

In this article, we talk about how you can get a good deal on outdoor patio furniture. Whether you want your money’s worth for the furniture you get, or whether you’re designing your patio on a budget, we’ve got you covered. Here are some tips on how to furnish your patio affordably!

  1. Get furniture with your space in mind

Have a good look at the space you’re looking to furnish. Imagine what you want it to look like. How big is the space? How do you want to use it? Do you want a set of chairs as the primary seating, or would a sofa or a bench do the job better? Do you have a look in mind that you’d prefer? And are there things you’d prefer to avoid?

Having preferences in mind will not only help you streamline your search better, but it’ll also make sure that you don’t buy pieces impulsively. If you have a plan and vision in mind beforehand, you’re less likely to get furniture that you regret later.

This way, you can ensure that your furnishing process is cost-effective, since you’d then only get pieces that suit your specific needs.

  1. Get furniture that’s less likely to wear out quickly

Your outdoor furniture will be more exposed to the weather and its elements. It’s likely to take damage faster. Keep that in mind while getting furniture.

Plastics and resins might be cheaper at the get-go, but they’re likely to be less sturdy, and they might degrade in quality faster. On the other hand, wood and metal would be a more durable choice, if you can take measures to avoid mold and rust.

If you keep this in mind, you can get yourself a deal that’s better in the long term.

  1. Less is more

This could be a golden rule when it comes to furniture and design. You’d want your space to be filled and nicely usable, of course, but it’s always nice to have plenty of walking space available.

It might be a good idea to get only a few key pieces of furniture according to your needs and fill the rest of the space with decor pieces that are smaller and cheaper. Pretty lights or plants would do the job super well, for example.

As for the furniture pieces, it might help you to have a look at outdoor furniture options online so that you’d have a sense of the prices and styles available! For instance, you could check out Inhabitr’s modern outdoor furniture: we have outdoor tables, chairs, sofas, and more available.

Having a look at the options available to you will help you make an informed decision and get what’s just right for you.

  1. Keep an eye out for sales

If you aren’t in an immediate hurry to get your furniture, you could hold out for big discount periods that come up. Labour day sales, clearance sales are a good time to buy patio furniture, for example. In these specific time periods, you could get good quality cheap furniture.

  1. Consider renting

Renting furniture can be a great affordable furniture option. Especially if you’re only in your place temporarily, you’d save up a lot of money on moving costs if you decided to rent. 

Renting also allows you to have a more flexible approach to your home furniture, as it involves less commitment – you could always swap out styles and switch up your look when you want to. If you’re renting small patio furniture now, for instance, you could lease for a year and then reassess when the time comes.

You can check out Inhabitr for great furniture rental options – we rent out designer furniture at affordable prices. We also provide users the option to buy new and used furniture, and we also have rent-to-own furniture options. You might get exactly what you want!
