Materials for Outdoor Furniture: Durability, Weather Resistance, and Style
The choice of material for outdoor furniture affects its durability, appearance, and maintenance needs, especially in high-traffic or harsh weather environments.
Teak Wood
Teak is a premium wood known for its durability, natural resistance to moisture, and rich golden-brown hue. It’s ideal for outdoor furniture in hotels, luxury residences, and public spaces, offering a timeless look that withstands weather changes. Teak requires minimal maintenance, making it suitable for high-end spaces where longevity is essential.
Metal (Aluminium and Stainless Steel)
Metal outdoor furniture, particularly aluminium and stainless steel, is lightweight, rust-resistant, and easy to maintain. Aluminium is popular in modern and minimalist settings, while stainless steel provides a heavier, more durable option. Metal furniture works well in urban spaces, patios, and poolside areas, where durability and a contemporary look are priorities.
Wicker and Rattan
Wicker and rattan offer a natural, textured look that’s perfect for coastal, tropical, or Bohemian-inspired spaces. Synthetic wicker is a common choice for outdoor furniture as it’s more durable and weather-resistant than natural rattan. This material is commonly used in lounges, daybeds, and dining sets in beachside resorts, spas, and residential gardens.
Plastic and Polypropylene
Plastic and polypropylene furniture is affordable, lightweight, and available in various colours, making it suitable for high-traffic public spaces like parks, cafes, and recreational areas. Polypropylene is UV-resistant and durable, offering a low-maintenance option for outdoor settings where functionality is key.
Concrete and Stone
Concrete and stone furniture bring a solid, industrial look to outdoor spaces, ideal for urban environments or modern residences. These materials are highly durable, weather-resistant, and require little maintenance, making them suitable for high-traffic public areas like plazas, parks, and hotel courtyards.
Fabric and Cushions
Outdoor furniture often includes cushions and upholstery from water-resistant, fade-resistant fabrics like Sunbrella or acrylic. These fabrics are designed to withstand exposure to sun and moisture, ensuring that the furniture remains comfortable and stylish over time. Cushions in bright or patterned fabrics add personality and colour to the outdoor setting.
Types of Outdoor Furniture Styles: Contemporary, Coastal, Rustic, Industrial, and Bohemian

Integrating Outdoor Furniture into the Design Process with Fringe Specification Tool
At Fringe Interior, we simplify integrating outdoor furniture into design projects by providing downloadable 2D and 3D files compatible with design software like AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Revit. These files enable designers to incorporate precise specifications for each piece of furniture within their models, ensuring a cohesive fit within the overall layout.
Our Fringe Specification Tool further streamlines the design process, allowing designers to organise, customise, and specify each piece of outdoor furniture effortlessly. This tool supports the creation of detailed specification lists, facilitates supplier coordination, and ensures that each piece aligns with the project’s aesthetic and functional requirements. By using Fringe’s tools, designers can seamlessly integrate outdoor furniture from concept to installation, making it easy to source, specify, and visualise the perfect setup for any space.
Ideal Placement of Outdoor Furniture for Different Spaces
