Furthermore, the chat height fire pits will completely overshadow the classic coffee tables, as they represent a perfect option to pull up a club chair and enjoy a homemade meal at a ‘club-sitting’ height.
  • How homeowners can give their old outdoor furniture a new look without replacing it with a new one?One of the easiest and most affordable ways is replacing the cushions. Believe it or not, but a set of brand new cushions has the power to revive the exhausted 20-year-old look of your outdoor furniture. To keep it stylish and trendy, go for throw pillows as the very best option. Spice up your exterior with neutral-coloured cushions that will flawlessly complement the vibrant look of your outdoor-furniture pieces.

And here’s one more tip: think of your outdoor furniture as a long-term investment. After all it needs to stand up to environmental elements, such as rain, sun, etc. Buy high-quality if you want it to last longer. Remember, low-quality outdoor furniture will cost you more in the long run since you will have to replace it every few years.
