Design Your Outdoor Room

Outdoor rooms are more popular now than ever before. Adding additional living space increases the enjoyment of your home. There are many choices in patio furnishings from seating to dining, and different durable, yet stylish materials. Create your ideal space by finding the furniture that complements your lifestyle.



WOVEN

Our Woven collections uniquely blend hand woven resin weave over aluminum frames. It is virtually impervious to harsh weather and is environmentally friendly.   Our weave is fade resistant and will not crack, peel, or absorb stains or heat.   The special synthetic material is 100% recyclable and is perfect for indoor or outdoor. All products feature colors and extrusions exclusive only to Brown Jordan.


ALUMINUM

Our Aluminum collections use the thickest gauge (wall thickness) in the industry, featuring mirror smooth welds and exacting finishing details. Forcing aluminum stock through dies forms extruded aluminum.  The result is a seamless extrusion that can come in a variety of shapes, all stronger than the material’s original form.





Savvy Shopping: Choosing materials that best fit your outdoor space

When shopping for patio furniture, it's good to keep in mind which materials will be best suited to your patio and your lifestyle. Before starting your shopping trip, review your outdoor space and consider environmental factors. Some things to consider are the sun exposure, average moisture level, and wind effects. Also think about what the space will be used for, and what is most comfortable for you and your family.

DINING

Many dining options are available, from bistro tables that can accommodate one or two people for morning coffee to long rectangular tables that can accommodate an entire dinner party. High dining options also offer an elegant option for layering in a different height to the mix.


SEATING

There are many different types and styles of seating, with a wide range of sizes, materials and colors to choose from. From dining chairs to woven deep seating chairs with a range of motion, there's a perfect fit for everyone in your family. And chairs are not the only type of seating available; there are also loveseats, chaise lounges, sofas and sectionals to consider. Ottomans can also be added to your chair to create an instant ahhhh factor for your feet.


CHAT

Another option to consider is the chat sets. Designed to encourage conversation, these sets usually feature comfortable seating with a center table, combining the elements of socializing and dining for a relaxing evening.


UMBRELLAS

If your area will be exposed to the sun with any frequency, an umbrella can provide shade and add style. When shopping for one, consider the size of the umbrella in relation to your seating or dining area to ensure the desired amount of shade. Also invest in a quality umbrella base.


FABRIC

While colors and patterns are a stylish addition to your space, don't forget about function and choosing fabric that will stand up to environmental factors like salt, rain and sun.  Sunbrella is the industry leader in outdoor fabrics, utilizing techniques that ensure their fabrics will remain colorfast for years.

FURNITURE COVERS


When considering a patio set for your outdoor space, it's important to also consider the local climate and seasonal temperature changes. Using furniture covers to protect your new set while it's not in use can help to extend the life of your patio furniture.
