So what exactly is a garden seating group and what parts does it consist of?
Garden seating groups are generally furniture sets consisting of pieces such as chairs, armchairs, coffee tables or tables. Some sets also include swings, umbrellas and sun loungers. Garden seating groups, which are mostly made of lightweight and weather-resistant materials, offer options to suit every expectation and taste in terms of the number of pieces, size, material and design features.
What to Consider When Buying a Garden Seating Group?
Garden seating groups, which are a great way to make gardens or terraces more functional and stylish, accompany the enjoyable moments you spend outdoors. However, there are a few important factors to consider when purchasing a garden seating group so that you do not miss out on these moments. Here are the things to consider when deciding which garden seating group to buy:
- Width of the Area and Dimensions of the Furniture: First, be careful to make a choice by considering the size of your garden or terrace. Take the measurements of the area where the seating group will be placed and evaluate the appropriate options.
If you have a small area, you can choose garden seating groups that consist of a small number of pieces but completely meet your needs in terms of comfort and functionality. Latanwood Ralph Solid Garden Seating Group is an ideal option for small areas.
For a large area, you can move freely and use models with the number of pieces and sizes you want. For such a model, we recommend the Latanwood Icarus Solid Garden Seating Group .
- Material Quality: For a long-lasting and durable garden seating group, pay attention to the type and quality of materials used in production. Garden seating groups are produced using different materials such as wood, metal, rattan or plastic. You can choose solid wood garden seating groups for the advantage of long-lasting use. For both durable and lightweight garden seating groups, models made of rattan material are the most ideal option.
- Comfort: Garden seating groups form the basis of creating a comfortable area in gardens or terraces. Therefore, the comfort level of the garden seating group becomes important during the selection phase. The ergonomic nature of the chairs or armchairs, the comfortable seating of the pillows and cushions are the elements you should consider when making a decision to meet your comfort expectations.
- Aesthetic Design: The garden seating group should be in line with the style and design of your outdoor space. Be sure to pay attention to the form, colors, material and design details of the furniture. Be careful to choose garden seating groups in different styles such as modern, minimalist, rustic or Scandinavian in harmony with the general decoration style of your garden or terrace.
- Ease of Maintenance: Since garden seating groups are used outdoors, they can easily wear out due to adverse environmental conditions such as sun, dust, dirt and rain. Regular maintenance is necessary to prevent this wear. Therefore, it is important that the material of the garden seating group you choose is maintainable and easy to clean.
Solid wood material offers unique advantages in terms of ease of maintenance and cleaning. You can maintain the weather-resistant solid wood garden seating group with polish or wood oils. In addition, the fact that the pillows and cushion covers of the garden seating group are removable and washable also provides ease of maintenance.
- Budget: Garden seating groups have different price ranges. It is important to stick to a budget that you have determined in advance. However, it would be more beneficial to consider the price and quality balance when making a choice for long-lasting use.
In this way, you can enjoy a profitable purchase by using your garden seating group for many years without extra maintenance costs or having to buy a new model after a few years.
- Additional Parts and Accessories: Some garden seating sets come with additional parts and accessories. These may include umbrellas, cushions, pillows or swings. Be sure to check whether additional parts are included in the garden seating set or if you need to purchase them separately, considering your needs and available space.
How Should the Garden Seating Group Be Placed?
Garden seating groups are a perfect option to create a comfortable, functional and stylish space in outdoor areas such as gardens, terraces, verandas or balconies. However, if garden seating groups are not placed correctly, they can create some problems in terms of both functionality and aesthetics. Here are some important tips to help you place your garden seating group correctly:
- Determine a Focal Point: Determine a focal point to determine the area where your garden seating group will be placed. Just like in living room decoration, arrange the furniture according to the focal point of the garden. The focal point of the garden can be a visually interesting element. For example, a pool, a tree or a magnificent view.
- Create a Comfortable Seating Area: Don't forget to leave enough space for your garden seating group to be used comfortably. Not leaving enough space around the garden seating group will restrict freedom of movement and will result in an unusable space.
- Consider the View: Aim for a beautiful view from where the garden seating is placed. Strategically position the garden seating to be able to see one of the beautiful views or interesting features of your garden or terrace. For example, you can place the garden seating so that it overlooks a flower garden, a sea view or a pool.
- Choose a Shady or Sunny Area: Depending on the purpose of use, you can place the garden seating group in a completely sunny area or in a shady corner. If you want to sunbathe or spend time enjoying the sun, you can choose a sunny area and support this area with shading options such as umbrellas or sunshades. For a cooler and more comfortable area, you can position your garden seating group in a shady corner.
- Consider Air Flow: If you live in a windy area, place the garden seating group in a suitable location to protect it from the effects of the wind. Also, leave enough space around the garden seating group to allow air circulation.
- Place Tables and Side Tables Properly: Position tables or large coffee tables that replace tables in the middle of the garden seating group for easy access. Side tables can be placed next to or between armchairs or chairs.
How to Clean a Garden Seating Group?
By keeping it clean and well-maintained, you can preserve the stylish appearance of your garden seating group and extend its lifespan. To clean the garden seating group, you can follow these simple steps:
- Choose a cleaning method that is appropriate for the material used for the garden seating group. For solid wood, you can use wood cleaner or soapy water. For rattan, you can apply a mixture of water and a mild cleaner. However, always use the cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer.
- Make sure to vacuum the garden seating group regularly to remove dust and dirt. You can also shake the cushions and pillows to remove dust. You can also remove the fabric covers and wash them. Be sure to read the instructions for use for washing.
- During spring and winter months, it is best to store the garden seating group in a covered area. This way, it is protected from adverse weather conditions and cleaning is easier. If you do not have a covered area, you can protect your garden seating group with a waterproof cover.
