Liven Up Your Backyard
Nothing beats sitting out in your backyard, laying on a lawn chair, and having a drink. However, if your furniture is old, weather-worn, and uninviting looking, it can definitely ruin the mood. This might be the time to think about refurnishing your backyard oasis with CR Plastic Products.
Simple Transformations
Consider bringing elements from the inside of your house to the outside, such as colors and textures. This can help create a unified design for your home.
“Think about bringing the luxuries from the indoors out,” says Katie Rowley from Eco Outdoor’s Marketing Team. “Think large outdoor sofas with oversized luxurious cushions, beautifully soft outdoor fabrics and attention to detail in the craftsmanship such as exposed seam stitching and stunning timber joinery. These details in outdoor furniture provide a seamless transition from your indoors and act to expand your home well into the outdoors.”
Matching Your Lifestyle
When purchasing furniture, it is important to consider the type of space you are working with. Look at the amount of space you have and the type of style you wish to use before you make your purchases. These factor will make a big difference in the type of furniture you purchase. CR Plastic Products have a wide variety of completely recycled plastic styles and sizes that will work well with your lifestyle.
Decide how you want to use your outdoor area. Do you have children? You might want to find furniture that looks great and is still functional for the little ones. Do you have a small backyard space? You might want furniture that will fit closer to the house, leaving more room around the pool.
“Once you’ve settled on how you like to use the space, choose finishes and furniture that complements your lifestyle.” says Katie. “A large dining table with benches is great for entertainers and large dinners with family and friends, while comfortable outdoor sofas and low coffee tables are perfect for relaxed entertaining with tapas style meals.”
Quality Over Quantity
When purchasing outdoor furniture, you want to get quality pieces that will last a long time. Pick furniture that is made of sturdy, reliable materials. For outdoor areas it is also important to pick furniture that will withstand years of weather damage and sun damage.
CR Plastic Products “…provide the look and warmth of wood, without the typical shortcomings associated with maintaining wood furniture.” Says Jamie Bailey, co-owner and co-founder of C.R. Plastic Products Inc. This provides the best of both worlds, the look of high-quality wood pieces without the constant threat of deterioration from harsh weather conditions.
Like New
Most outdoor furniture is made to last; however, there are a few things you can do to keep your furniture looking brand new.
“Stainless steal and compact laminate will need a wipe down every now and then to keep them looking showroom new.” says Katie. “Teak exposed to full sun can benefit from a very light oil with natural wood oil every few months. If you have teak products in a dark and shady area, a scrub down every few moths will keep the timber clean and fresh.”
Work cleaning your furniture into your backyard maintenance routine.
