Garden Lounge Sets: Buying Guide

With summer just around the corner, afternoons and evenings are spent outdoors. Let’s choose the appropriate seat, though.

Choosing Garden Lounge Sets that are up to the season is not easy; if inside the house architecture can help us choose, outside it is the open space that lays down the law. Let’s see together how to move through this very complex jungle.

Imagine the view: a warm sunset, a cool evening breeze, an exquisite apéritif. Sounds perfect, huh? But there is one element that could make the difference in this picture of peace: the perfect seat. So then we can not rely on a random choice, but we must understand which garden lounge sets are the ones suitable for our spaces. Because relaxation is important, but style is not far behind!

Even in this important decision, ProduceShop does double work, just for you: a wide range of outdoor solutions to choose from, and the ultimate guide to help you. You can then think about materials, models, other qualities. And as always, in the end, an interesting and fresh bonus for our thirsty readers!

A garden lounge set for everyone

Before analysing the different characteristics to consider when making a purchase, let’s answer a couple of questions. Where can I put a garden lounge set?

The first answer is quite obvious: in the garden!
However, this includes not only the home garden, but also the outdoor area of a bar or restaurant. The solutions for this type of environments must be evaluated not only thinking about design and aesthetics, but also about functionality; moreover, considering that customers must probably spend as much time in your place as possible, comfort is one of the first factors to take into consideration. Some, however, not having the possibility to furnish a garden, choose to put these sitting rooms on a terrace; in this case, an eye should be kept on home furnishings, since the distances, materially, are almost nullified.

Although it is easier to make a list of the best models, we recommend that you read this guide first; arriving prepared to buy will ensure that you are not only pushed by a nice living room, but that you choose the one that best suits your needs. What are we waiting for, then?

Let’s see together the factors to be taken into consideration; be careful though, some can often be pushed aside, depending on the situation. It all depends on your taste.
  1. Spaces and Size

    As mentioned before, we must carefully consider where our garden lounge will be placed. This discriminant concerns not only the dimensions, which will be relative to the occupied space, but also the style.

    If in a garden, under trees, under a gazebo, we can say that the space available will be greater, as well as the styles to choose from; freedom is therefore higher here.

    Many decorate with these lounges the edge of a swimming pool, both private and public, or even in a club; given the spaces, perhaps it is necessary to stick to smaller combinations and more compact solutions.

    On the other hand, those who choose to furnish a terrace must mathematically adapt to its size. In fact, there is no choice: either on the terrace, or outside the house!

  2. Materials and Style

    The two concepts are closely related; the material chosen, in fact, often also determines the style of the garden lounge, and is a reflection of the environment that must host it.

    • Wood

      The wooden garden lounges, whether massive or more slender, have for sure a vintage charm. The most used woods are teak, robinia, bamboo or tropical woods in general. The cons lie in the cost, often high, and in the maintenance; it is in fact a material towards which one must keep an eye.

    • Metal

      Some pop solutions are now back in vogue, perhaps combined with bright colours of plastic textures. Durable and resistant, however, they are not always easy to combine with the environment. Not to mention the even more significant costs.

    • Plastic

      If we include products in simple PVC and polycarbonate in the category, this is undoubtedly one of the most economical solutions. Definitely light and resistant, they easily recall bold and many contemporary designs. The cost drops considerably, often at the expense of beauty if you choose an unreliable brand; the ideal would be to choose it especially for contract furniture.

    • Rattan

      Also called synthetic wicker, this is the name by which we mean polyrattan, an extremely resistant plastic with a very particular texture; it recalls wicker to the eye, communicating all the beauties of wood. In reality, being a very resistant plastic, it is one of the best solutions for gardens and outdoors, and among those most recommended by us at ProduceShop.

    • Fabric

      Normally used for cushions and covers, you must definitely choose it based on the appropriate seat. In any case, since the fabric tends to be sensitive and delicate, it is always better to take care of it in case of bad weather, perhaps removing or uncovering the cushions when necessary.

  3. Elements of the garden lounge set

    Tables can be both small and large. They are not always necessary, but they certainly give a touch of class and completeness to the set. Not to mention that, if we think of a bar, they are actually indispensable. Not to be ignored even at home, perhaps simply to place a book, a glass, anything that disturbs our relaxation.

    The seats are what gives character and soul to the living room. Comfort, style, elegance and final design depend on the type chosen. Here we can literally indulge ourselves: padded or well-shaped armchairs, low or high benches, block benches, minimalist black monoliths; high or low stools, tilting or fixed. And also folding chairs, fixed, deckchairs with or without wheels. In our opinion, the low armchair coordinated with the table, perhaps accompanied by a comfortable cushion, is timeless.

    The number of elements we decide to put in the set is also important; the paradigm here is quite simple. Little space, fewer elements, lots of space, don’t overdo it.

  4. Budget

    After putting the elements together, let’s now evaluate how much we want to spend. The factors that affect the final cost the most are certainly the size of the set and the materials used. The good news is that, thanks to ProduceShop, it is no longer necessary to spend (we would say better invest) huge amounts to have an elegant garden lounge.

    For example, choosing a nice rattan set with cushions, we will have a high-quality, elegant furnishing solution at a low cost that, sure, will last over time.

Bonus Apéritif !

This time we want to outdo ourselves with the usual bonus.
In fact, what are garden lounge sets perfect for if not to celebrate all together?

We asked Damian M., Maître de bar for 13 years in a well-known tourist resort in Sicily, what could be the perfect apéritif cocktail to prepare even at home with friends.

“Considering the season, I can only recommend a fresh Mint Julep. With a pestle, chop a lot of mint and sugar in the bottom of a mixing glass; add a little water to create a coarse syrup. Add crushed ice and about 80ml of bourbon. Pour into a copper cup, take a seat in your Progarden Tree garden lounge, add some pretzels and just enough friends. Quench your thirst in company, and don’t be afraid of a second glass; just do not exaggerate!”

Aperitivo
