Outdoor Furniture for Your Living Room

By: Kathy Moran Everybody longs to have a home that’s functional, affordable, livable, and comfortable; but, for some reason, achieving all of these things at once sometimes feels like an elusive dream. It seems that there’s always a trade-off, because the most beautiful things in our homes frequently end up being more for decoration than usability. Many times, it’s simply because, when people finally get the furniture that they have always fantasized about, they want to keep it looking brand new, whether it’s indoor or outdoor furniture. We all know people like this. To make sure that everyone knows that this is special furniture, they cover it with plastic. This practice, however, only serves to make a room look formidable, imposing, and strictly off-limits. Although it does get the message across, it also makes the term “living room” ironic, as the only tracks visible on the carpets are, in many cases, those made by a vacuum cleaner. These people are usually just as obsessed about their outdoor furniture, sometimes, to the point that they’re afraid to actually put it outside – until they cover it in plastic! Over the past several years, however, things have been changing, as outdoor living has become extremely important in our lives. In fact, we are spending most of our time – and investing most of our money – in outdoor living areas. Perhaps because it’s getting harder each year to escape from our daily stresses, we are turning our porches, decks, backyards, patios, and gazebos, into our own personal havens. Whatever the reason, we are continuing to change the way that we think about the outdoors. Instead of viewing it as hostile, or, at least, unfamiliar, territory, each of us seems to be trying to turn our piece of it into a living room – with a really high ceiling. For this new mode of living, we want furniture that we can really use. Fortunately, the shift in perception about the outdoors has been accompanied by a revolution, if not an evolution, in outdoor furniture. Far from the flimsy, fragile specimens of yesteryear, it is now being made, as all good living room furniture should be, to be lived in. Furthermore, today’s choices extend way beyond a limited selection of chairs and picnic tables.
