Rattan is a material which can be used both indoors and outdoors, so it's no surprise that one of the most popular furniture items, chaise lounges, take advantage of this versatile material. In order to make the right choices when you go to purchase a rattan chaise lounge, here are some tips and factors which you may like to consider first.
There are two main choices – natural or synthetic. Natural rattan can look better than the synthetic version, which is why many people instantly choose it. However, it is less durable than the synthetic rattan material, making it suitable for indoor use but not so great for the outdoors.
Leaving natural rattan furniture outside during weather which isn't so great will mean that the furniture doesn't last you much longer than six months or so.
You should adapt the style to suit your garden or the room in which it will be positioned. For modern gardens with plenty of plants and colors, choose a plain design with straight edges and a clearly defined shape. Gardens which have a patio area and need brightening up a little bit could benefit from rattan chaise lounges which have a little extra design, such as hand woven or rattan which has a pattern.
If you already have furniture in your garden or in the room, it's likely that you have a color scheme already. This will help you to decide which cushion colors you should choose from. Rattan chaise lounges normally have detachable padded cushions to make it more comfortable and relaxing. They are flexible too since you can change the cushions as you please.
Remember that you don't have to choose the main color from your scheme. You can choose a similar color or a color which works well when used in combination. If you are unsure which colors to choose, look into popular colors which match with the shade you are already using in your home or garden.
If you want rattan chaise lounges which will last a long time, you should be prepared to pay between $500-$800 per item. There are cheaper variations available, but they will generally last 1-2 years rather than up to 10 years. When deciding how much to pay for furniture, one of the essential factors to consider is how long you intend to keep the furniture for.
Many items also come with a warranty, so if you find that there is a manufacturer's fault with the furniture, you can get a replacement free of charge. Depending on the warranty package which comes with your furniture, you might also be able to get compensation or replacements for accidental damage. If you want extra cover, you can always take out a separate insurance package when purchasing.
