Choosing the right outdoor furniture in Dubai is never an easy task. Because of high sun exposure, heat and dust, you need furniture that’s durable and stylish. Here are some points to consider.
Invest in quality materials. There’s a common misconception that you should invest less on your outdoor furniture than interior furniture. However, the opposite is true, especially in this region. Plastic chairs might look great on the shelf, but after intense sun exposure, they will become brittle and lose their colour. The same is true for some wood products and wicker pieces, which look great, but will need frequent sanding and painting. Instead, we recommend investing in materials such as rattan or leather.
The main purpose of outdoor furniture is to help you relax. So take a seat and test your furniture before buying. The type of the outdoor furniture you choose depends on your space. But don’t overlook the outdoor-living opportunities on balconies and in smaller gardens.
