About woven patio furniture
One of the most popular woven patio furniture items is the outdoor chair and sofa. You can find an abundance of designs that will generally include cushions that are fashioned to compliment both the design and the colour of the woven material. Wicker is easily molded and painted so designers tend to paint it black with light coloured cushions and pillows to compliment the darker colour of the painted wicker.
Many manufacturers combine other materials such as rattan with wicker to produce some very eye-catching pieces of woven furniture. Wicker is made from the core of rattan wood so many craftsmen will use both rattan and wicker in their pieces. The solid rattan is crafted into the framing of a chair or sofa with the wicker used for the remainder of the furniture. This style of woven patio furniture is generally finished in natural wood tones rather then painted in solid colours. This gives the finished piece a natural look.
While woven garden furniture is beautiful and comfortable to sit in, it does require more care then patio furniture manufactured using plastics or wood. You will want to purchase patio furniture covers to ensure water and moisture doesn’t prematurely rot your furniture. You’ll also need to store your woven patio furniture in a dry, safe spot during the winter months to prolong the life of it.
