It has always been a real pleasure for me to decorate an outdoor lounge area. I simply love choosing outdoor lounge furniture and using it to create a nice, soothing area for the backyard. Moreover, style in outdoor furniture evolves so fast, new pieces come out every day! For instance, the latest trend is using outdoor bar chairs instead of ordinary, simple, low chairs. Normally, I would suggest a bar to be installed somewhere for this type of chairs to be used, but these babies are so cute, you just can’t skip them.
The interesting thing about outdoor bar chairs is the fact that they gained popularity as a result of the entire process of evolution in fashion, leisure time and design. Just think about it; women are wearing high heels during every time of the day, instead of lemonades and beers, there are cocktails with the fanciest of names, and consequently, there are high tables and outdoor bar chairs to sit on! The point is, everything has evolved to look like it’s party time, so why wouldn’t chairs go along?
So, now that we’ve cleared that out, let me lay out some suggestions:
Material
There is such a wide choice on outdoor bar chairs today you can literally start feeling lost when you decide to buy some. An important thing is to make the right choice of material. There is wicker – these look amazing and it’s simple to incorporate them in the entire design; iron – the ones that have iron frames aren’t exactly the most comfortable option, but if you use cushions on them, they may look very fancy; wooden chairs – you can also find outdoor bar chairs made from wood. These will probably be more expensive, but definitely worth it, since in my opinion, they’re the most stylish.
Table or a bar?
Installing a bar first means that you need to have a lot of free space in your patio. And your outdoor bar chairs simply don’t go with a low table. A bar is pretty much like a very small kitchen, without the stove and the large sink. You need to stash it with everything, from alcohol, to juices, fruits and veggies, and also have space to place all the appliances and the glassware. On the other hand, a table with a casket below is a convenient option. You can still place your glassware here and just get everything else you need from your inside kitchen. Plus, this table looks amazing.
So, if you’re into trying something new, and following the trends, get your new outdoor bar chairs and table and start throwing great cocktail parties and gatherings in your new, fancy backyard. It’s an investment that’s guaranteed to bring your backyard refreshment in style.
