The Bon Bar range will make your outdoor spot a focal point of good memories and festive gatherings while sprucing up your patio or poolside.
Festive seasons mean good food, great company and loads of fun. That said, just being outside lifts people’s mood, which is another reason for celebrations.
Whether it is dining outdoors on a calm evening or just chilling on a warm day, it is a chance to unwind and enjoy the company of friends and family in a relaxed setting. But first, you may want to get your outdoor area looking sleek with furnishings that can comfortably accommodate a larger guest list.
While some may think taking care of outdoor furniture requires a lot of work, the truth is that outdoor furniture is built to be weather-resistant. In our tropical climate with its alternating storms and sunshine, professional outdoor furniture makers know that their products should be designed to stand up to these harsh conditions.
Thus, maintaining and caring for outdoor furniture is simply fuss-free unless you have particularly messy guests or family members. As they can survive outdoor use, this furniture will most definitely be usable indoors, without bringing in the weather elements.
Before embarking on a shopping trip, consider investing in pieces that you can actually use inside your home for double the value of money spent.
“As the development of outdoor furniture continues to push through design and style barriers, we are finding more and more cross over between outdoor furniture and indoor than ever before.
“A lot more homes these days are using outdoor designed furniture indoors.
“Outdoor lounge suites are really leading the way here as popularity increases over their comfort, size and durability in all conditions, ” said Harvey Norman’s Furniture general manager Mark Mah.
Tips when picking outdoor furniture
As much as you want a furniture based on design, it is also important to take into account some major considerations. Consider these factors when shopping for outdoor furniture
“How much space do you have for an outdoor setting?” There is furniture that can fit from the smallest terrace to a spacious patio. If your life and schedule are jam-packed with commitments and activities, you want to choose a low maintenance outdoor furniture set.
The location of your home will determine, firstly, whether it is conducive for outdoor furniture. For instance, if you live in an area that is prone to rain and shine with little shelter, remember that extreme heat followed by extreme humidity, furniture made of fragile materials will suffer more.
Care and maintenance
If your preference for outdoor furniture is timber furniture – for that rustic natural look – remember to thoroughly wipe and clean to remove dust particles. To care for your timber furniture one step further, lightly oil the furniture and allow to dry.
This helps to extend the longevity of the furniture. To prevent damage to your wooden furniture, remember that fasteners must be tightened regularly.
For painted or washed timber furniture, just clean with soapy water using a soft cloth or a soft non-metallic brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. It is recommended to clean your furniture once a month and apply a very light coating of clear timber oil once a year.
Keep Resin wicker and Textlene furniture looking new by just wiping with a soft, dry cloth. To remove dirt, simply rinse with water and use mild detergent as required. Cushions need to be removed and stored in a dry and generally dark place when not in use.
The fabrics are water-repellent but not water-proof, so seat cushions will absorb water if left out in the rain. It is recommended to use a furniture cover over unused furniture to protect against weather elements. Harvey Norman offers a wide range of outdoor furniture with great versatility that can be used indoors no matter if you have kids or pets, or if you want to just spruce up the place on festive occasions.
