Beautiful Outdoor Furniture Pieces That Look Like They Belong Indoors

If you thought there was no such thing as sophisticated outdoor furniture, then it's time to think again. The market is filled with beautiful outdoor-friendly sofas, chairs, tables, and more—you just have to know which features to look for and how to find the ultimate balance between style and strength. "The durability of the materials is crucial when deciding on outdoor furniture," says Benoist F. Drut, owner and director of Maison Gerard. "I marine-treat woods, such as plywood, teak, resin, and fiberglass, as they are going to be the best at withstanding the elements."

Of course, you will also want to check that the upholstery on your outdoor furniture is weatherproof since the wrong pillows can spoil a perfectly good piece. "Make sure that cushions are made for the outdoors," explains Anne Massie of McKinnon and Harris. "Polyfill foam belongs in your living room, not on your terrace. It holds moisture like a sponge, inviting mildew and degrading quickly. Look for quick draining reticulated foam that holds its shape instead."
