Outdoor Furniture – How to Choose and Design a Resort-Style Garden Space

1. Why is outdoor furniture becoming increasingly popular?

As the “green living – slow living” trend continues to grow, outdoor areas have become the “second living room” for many families.
In Australia, where the climate is warm and sunny all year round, investing in high-quality outdoor furniture is not only about beautifying your home but also about enhancing your lifestyle experience.

Outdoor furniture helps you:

•  Enjoy relaxing outdoor moments every day

•  Strengthen family bonds through weekend BBQs

•  Add a luxurious touch that elevates your home’s aesthetic value

• Live sustainably – maximising the use of your natural surroundings

2. Modern outdoor furniture trends in Australia ??

From gardens, patios, and balconies to poolside lounges, modern outdoor furniture design embraces three key styles:

• Resort Style: Natural tones and neutral materials such as wood and fabric bring warmth and coziness.

• Coastal Look: Light-coloured wood, handwoven rope, and cream cushions create a relaxed, beach-inspired space.

• Minimalism: Clean lines and refined silhouettes that blend seamlessly with any outdoor area.

Begili Outdoor Furniture leads these trends with collections like the
 Harry Sofa Set, Nathan Sofa Set, Ruby Sofa Set, Luna Adirondack Chair, and Lilian Dining Set — all handcrafted from 100% FSC-certified Acacia wood, with UV-resistant cushions and powder-coated steel frames for long-lasting durability.

3. Ideal materials for outdoor furniture

The secret to durable and beautiful outdoor furniture lies in weather-resistant materials that combine aesthetics with endurance.

All these materials are carefully selected and tested by Begili to ensure they perform perfectly in Australia’s harsh climate — from strong sunlight and humidity to coastal winds.

4. How to choose outdoor furniture for your space

To create a beautiful and functional outdoor area, focus on these three key factors:

 Size & Layout

• For small patios or balconies → choose a 2–3 seater sofa or compact café set (e.g., Luna Set)

• For large gardens or pool areas → opt for 4–6 seater sets like the Harry or Nathan Collection

 Colour & Style

• Tones like Teak, Light Oak, and Natural Wood brighten your space and create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

• Cream or navy cushions add sophistication and complement most landscapes.

 Weather Resistance

• Choose designs with UV 3000h-resistant fabric, powder-coated steel frames, and oil-treated acacia wood for long-lasting protection.

• Always use a waterproof cover when not in use for extended periods.
