Do you know that you can actually add more buying value into your home by simply landscaping your yard? What's more, you can make it more usable by putting up garden furniture.

Here are the best tips in picking your rattan garden furniture:

1. Know the climate of your area. The furniture should be able to withstand the general climatic condition of your residence. For example, if it is sunshine for most of the year, such as in Florida, you may need those that are made of teak or wicker. These types of materials are airy and allow proper circulation of air. Thus, you will still feel refreshed despite the bright sunlight.

Are the winters harsher than usual or rain comes more than 6 months a year? Look for those that are made of cast or wrought iron. They are definitely more durable and therefore long lasting. They do not experience any wear and tear.

2. Measure the space. The philosophy when it comes to your interiors can also be adapted in your exteriors. The sizes of the furniture should match that of your yard or patio. For example, if you are blessed with a huge space, it is more ideal to pick furniture pieces that are also gargantuan. With smaller space, opt for minimalist garden pieces.

3. Choose functionalities. The furniture pieces do not have to remain just mere decorations for your yard or patio. They can also be highly functional. Foldable seats permit you to move them in different portions of your home with great ease. If you want a lot of storage, look for wicker or teak ottoman-slash-storage.

4. Make sure you are comfortable with them. Unless you just need something to burn your money with, there is a good chance that you are going to use the furniture 365 days or even more than that. Hence, ensure that you will be happy using it. Before you eventually buy them, test them first. If you are using a chaise lounge, sit on it for a while and get a general feel. The table should not be too high that eating becomes uncomfortable.

5. Wait for sales. Most of the garden fixtures can be pretty expensive. If you like to save on them without buying pre-loved items, you can just wait for discounts or sales. Watch out for Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Black Friday, and Christmas or New Year. Prices tend to drop to as much as 50 percent.

6. Customize them. Another way of going less with the furniture and getting what you really like is to customize them. Go to flea markets or garage sales. Select those that are still very durable since that is a characteristic you cannot alter. You can then search for great inspirations or patterns in the World Wide Web. Use stencils and paintbrushes to make personalization so much easier.

7. Pair them with covers. You can make the furniture last a lot longer if you can cover them when not in use. Heavy-duty ones ensure that no harmful sunlight, rain, or snow can cause damage to those that you cannot bring inside your home.
