Picturesque Outdoor Sofas for Picturesque Patios

If you’re blessed to have a grassy backyard with a lot of green trees, bushes and flowers, it would be a real shame not to have a patio area with a perfectly chosen, fancy patio seating set. How else will you enjoy the beauty of your own mini piece of heaven if not by sitting on your sofa with a cocktail in your hand? And while choosing the right outdoor furniture elements is crucial here, decorations and a careful choice of colours could make a lot more difference to the overall ambiance.

But first things first; lets skip the mainstream sitting set comprised of a table and chairs and go a step further: choose an outdoor sofa for re-creating the comfort of your living room in the backyard. Unlike other choices, this one may be quite difficult and time-consuming as the market is so full of good examples that can literally confuse you. So before you start searching, it would be good to have an idea of how you want to design and decorate your patio area. Here are a few ideas to help you boost your imagination and creativity.

The Happy Hues

Lets get one thing straight before we start analysing styles: the outdoor sofa is the largest and therefore the leading element in your outdoor design, so it deserves the most attention. For this scenery think of a sofa with metal legs and cushiony seat. Decorated with a lot of pillows in orange, yellow and red colour it will help you create an ambiance of happiness and positive energy.

The relaxing sun porch

This one is all about comfort; think a large sofa with a very soft seating surface and a few good pillows that simply invite you to lay your head on them. It would be like having your indoor comfort transferred outdoors. Keep the colours low here – you need something that will emit tranquillity and calmness and not disturb your concentration from peace of mind. In other words, you need an outdoor sofa in white colour.

The back terrace

If you have a lot of space in your backyard, you can spoil yourself a little more than just with one outdoor sofa and get three for creating an entire back terrace! And why not; you’ll get to accommodate a lot more people and host more parties with cocktails. It’s best if these sofas are made of wicker as this material is kind of light and easy to move from one place to another.

These are just a few ideas on what you can do with just one sofa in your outdoor area. The outdoors shouldn’t be boring and mainstream anymore, so awake the exterior designer in you and create the picturesque patio everyone will want to spend time on.
