Thankfully, there’s no shortage of means. Give these spaces a shining glow-up with some balcony furniture.
But where do you begin when it comes to online purchasing for these spaces?
In this blog, we are going to see some compact and stylish outdoor furniture for urban townhouse living that are available in our exclusive patio furniture sale.
But before that, let’s talk about which are the best outdoor furniture materials and why they are the best.
When the sun is shining
The Sun. The bright Sun, which brings back not light alone but new life, hope, and freshness to man burst, upon the crowded city in clear and radiant glory.
-Charles Dickens
Indeed, the sun brings new life and new hope.
When the sun is shining and you have a patio, there is nothing better than spending long, slothful days outside. It is a delight soaking up the natural warmth and having some good food and drinks in the open air.
With the right outdoor furniture, the joy of such days doubles up.
And, of course, staying outside is inviting only when you make it comfortable. With that being said, you need a very well-thought-out furniture arrangement.
Purchasing outdoor furniture involves more than just randomly picking out pieces.
First, you need a proper plan — figuring out how you’ll utilise your space and, more importantly, how you’ll sustain the outdoor aesthetic over time.
And here comes the role of the outdoor furniture material.
So, let’s zero in on what is the most appropriate material for outdoor furniture pieces and how to choose them.
Choosing the right material for outdoor furniture
The types of materials are of utmost importance when it comes to selecting the right outdoor furniture.
Let’s have some ideas about them and a quick run-down on each material.
The materials that are considered the best for outdoors are:
1. Synthetic Resin Wicker
Synthetic resin is one of the best materials for outdoor furniture, especially if it is High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) wicker.
And we must refrain from choosing ordinary PVC wicker because they are not durable.
HDPE is an excellent material for balcony furniture as it makes synthetic resin wicker lightweight and easy to clean and maintain in an outdoor atmosphere. And on an aluminium frame, they are just the right material.
Synthetic resin materials also make ‘composite wood’, which is simply one of the best materials for outdoor furniture.
They are moisture-resistant, waterproof, and need minimal maintenance. They are also termite-proof, without any splinter danger for pets and children.
2. Teak wood
Teak wood is known for its all-weather capabilities, durability, and stunning-grained finish, making it simply the best wood for any outdoor furniture set,
It is hardwood, so the surface is really strong, making it dent-proof.
While it's not as light as aluminium furniture, it’s still movable, offering a great load capacity. They work the best for an outdoor garden sofa.
3. Cast Aluminum
Light in weight and highly durable, cast aluminium is also perfect.
It is the best outdoor material for dining chairs, as they ought to move in and out during seating.
Pick some from our patio furniture sale and beautify your space.
4. Wrought iron
The term ‘wrought’ means that it was ‘worked by hand,’ unlike ‘cast’ iron, which is manufactured using moulds.
Wrought iron is the perfect material for outdoor furniture for these five reasons.
Strength and Durability: It is highly resistant to wear and tear, making it ideal for withstanding harsh outdoor conditions.
High Stability: Its heavy weight ensures it remains steady during windy weather.
Aesthetic Charm: The timeless beauty of wrought iron, with elaborate designs, enhances outdoor spaces' charm.
Easy to Maintain: With proper powder coating or rust protection, it requires minimal upkeep, retaining its charm for years.
Ready-to-Customise: It is easily moldable into different designs. So, it suits diverse styles, from classic to modern outdoor setups.
5. Steel: A Top Choice
Steel is also a great option for an outdoor furniture set due to its unmatched strength and durability.
Stainless steel and powder-coated varieties are particularly suitable for outdoor settings. They resist rust and corrosion even in humid or rainy conditions.
Maintenance is minimal.
Additionally, steel is eco-friendly, fully recyclable, and sustainable. This makes it a responsible choice for any balcony furniture piece.
But again, which is the best among them?
The choice is, of course, up to you.
You should always consider your local climate and your preferences when choosing outdoor furniture.

Tons of choices, aren't there?
I know you might be confused about what pieces to bring home.
Well, you can come out of this confusion by using a larger vision for an outdoor space because outdoor furniture has three totally different uses.
You can use them as a dining space, as a living room, and also as a pool and lounging area.
And each needs a different vision.
With a large space, it would be possible to use it for all three functions.
You can have a dining space with a dining table and chairs, a leisure space with balcony furniture and lounge chairs, a sofa and a coffee table, and a special space for sunbathing furnished with movable chaise lounges. You can find it all in our patio furniture sale at amazing prices.
For smaller spaces—on urban townhouse living, for example—decide on which activity you love the most and then pick an outdoor furniture set of your choice. If you are into cooking and tend to welcome guests on weekends, you can turn your outdoor space into a cosy corner for meals with a compact round dining table and compatible chairs or an outdoor garden sofa. If relaxing with your loved ones is your thing, create an outdoor living room with lounges and sofa chairs.
One crucial decision to make when shopping for outdoor furniture
Furthermore, one important stand you must take when purchasing outdoor furniture is whether or not to add cushions to your pieces.
They bring comfort but need extra maintenance as they ought to get wet or dirty.
You may select furniture pieces that look good without cushions. That will be the case if you want to avoid cushions altogether.
This works on open terraces, as you don’t have to worry about the cushions blowing around in windy weather.
And in case you want your outdoor furniture to be super relaxing, use upholstery instead of cushions.
Divano offers various options with outdoor fabrics that are soft as well as flexible, and they come in attractive colours and patterns.
In case you want cushions, for example, in your balcony furniture, make sure they can withstand the bouts of a rainstorm and moist winds.
Choose cushions with fast-drying foam or, you can choose a middle path also.
Go for furniture pieces that are relaxing without thick cushions. Many outdoor lounges and chairs come with upholstery that can be used for extended lounging.
So, make a wise decision and create a perfect outdoor space for you by adding furniture pieces with matchless beauty and a relaxing feel.
Summing up!
In conclusion, choosing a compact and stylish outdoor furniture set is essential for enhancing the comfort and aesthetic of urban townhouse living.
Choose the right materials to ensure durability and weather resistance in your outdoor garden sofa. Thoughtfully select pieces like outdoor dining tables, lounges, and chairs that can transform small spaces into cosy retreats.
Furthermore, incorporating cushions adds an extra layer of comfort, making your outdoor area both functional and inviting. You can find some pieces with cushions in our patio furniture sale.
With careful planning and smart furniture choices, even limited outdoor spaces can become stylish extensions of your home, perfect for relaxation and entertaining.
So choose with care and enjoy your urban townhouse living.
Happy purchasing!
