Relax with Outdoor Lounge Chairs

Make the most of your patio or yard with outdoor lounge chairs. Pottery Barn has lounge furniture in lots of different styles, so it's easy to achieve the look you want. There are also furniture covers to protect your pieces from the weather, along with patio umbrellas to provide shade on sunny days.

How to Choose Outdoor Lounge Chairs

There are some things to consider when shopping for patio chairs. Check out the following tips for choosing outdoor lounge chairs for your patio:

• It's important to consider what kind of patio style you want to achieve. For example, if you like a simple look, wicker occasional chairs are a great choice. Papasan chairs are good for creating an exotic style, while armless chairs impart a modern, minimalist look.
• If you plan to entertain and need ample seating or you want a place to recline and relax, choose an outdoor sofa or loveseat. These pieces come in a variety of sizes to suit your outdoor space.
• Sectional patio furniture lets you create a customized arrangement. You can even move the sections around to suit different occasions. Pottery Barn has lots of outdoor sectional pieces that can be combined to create a look that's all your own.
• Another consideration when shopping is the cushion color of your furniture. Most patio chairs come with cushions for comfortable sitting; you can also buy cushions separately. White is a classic choice that looks clean and modern, while bright colors like red, orange and fuchsia impart a tropical ambiance to your outdoor area.
• Speaking of cushions, switching them out with new ones lets you easily change the look of your patio. You can match your chair cushions to each other for a perfectly coordinated look or mix-and-match colors and patterns for a more casual appearance.

Caring for Lounge Furniture

One of the best things about lounge furniture is that it's relatively easy to care for. Whether you choose pieces made from wood, wicker or a combination of the two materials, there's a not a lot of upkeep involved. Simply wipe your furniture down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Some pieces can even be sprayed with a hose for easy cleaning, although you may want to remove the cushions first.

Pottery Barn has outdoor lounge chairs and other patio furnishings for a stylish, functional patio area. You'll also find everything else you need to furnish your outdoor space, such as tables, planters, gardening essentials and storage baskets.
