If you're the kind of person to spend a lot of time in your garden, then good outdoor furniture is a must. You and your family can while away the good weather in comfort and style, but there are such a wide variety of options available that it can be hard to know where to start. One great option, however, is wicker furniture. Here are three reasons why you should consider wicker outdoor furniture the next time you're looking.
Look
First and foremost, wicker furniture looks great. It's not a trendy material that will need to be replaced a year down the line; it's simple, rustic and classic. It's also very adaptable, as it's a good aesthetic fit for many colour schemes and textures, especially as it comes in many colours itself. Pair wicker furniture with neutral cream fabric cushions, or something a little brighter; whatever you choose, it'll fit into the existing look of your garden. It's also available in a huge variety of designs; you can find tables topped with glass or wood, for example. It all depends what you're looking for.
Cost-Efficient
As good as wicker furniture looks, it's not the most expensive option on the market and won't break the bank. What this effectively means is that you can refresh your entire set of outdoor furniture—chairs, dining table, recliners and more—for the same as you might spend on one dining table of solid, expensive wood. Despite that, it doesn't look 'cheap'. That's the kind of home decor every family's budget can get behind.
Durable
Though it's lightweight and looks quite delicate, wicker furniture is also nice and durable. Especially if you opt for synthetic wicker, which is what most outdoor furniture is made from for waterproofing purposes, you won't need to replace your new furniture anytime soon. It can withstand the elements alongside the rest of your garden. Of course, not being composed of metal, it's not open to corrosion or rust; it can just be left outside and unmaintained. However, with wicker being lightweight as previously mentioned, it's also easy to move around in the event you would like to bring it inside during wetter weather.
In all, wicker is just a great, affordable option for decking out your outdoors. As it comes in so many styles and colours, often paired with wood or glass to taste, you're sure to find a set of wicker outdoor furniture that suits both your garden and your budget. All it takes is a little shopping.
