Mixed Material Furniture

Mixed Materials: Upholstered, Metal and Wood Outdoor Furniture

Can't choose a look for your outdoor furniture? Consider mixed material options for a chic, eye-catching solution. Start with a material that you love, then explore the ways it pairs with other finishes and textures for a unique look. Wood outdoor furniture, for example, offers a timeless look when paired with upholstered elements, while metal and wood patio furniture creates a more modern appearance. Enjoy your backyard meals at a metal and wood outdoor dining table. Add a centerpiece of freshly-picked flowers and pull up a few coordinating metal and wood chairs. If your style is more eclectic, consider an upholstered wicker loveseat paired with a striped outdoor rug. Enhance the look with colorful planters and outdoor string lights to create a cheerful, organic space that feels bright even on cloudy days. For those who love to lounge, metal patio chairs or chaises fitted with Sunbrella cushions combine the sleekness of stainless steel with the comfort of upholstery, as well as being, fade-, stain- and mildew-resistant. You can even try mixing and matching mixed material outdoor furniture—just keep colors consistent.
