The warmth of summer has already begun, sending us to bask in the great outdoors. Being able to lounge decadently in our backyard or gathering friends for drinks calls for the right seating. Thankfully, the look of outdoor furniture has changed dramatically in the last few years. Forget the old, cracking wicker or yellowed plastic frames as you’ll be impressed by all the options shown in our North Carolina Furniture Showrooms.

Oversized, plush cushions invite comfortable afternoon lounging. Seating has definitely taken its cues from the living room, offering a more luxurious feel that you can sink into. The style of outdoor furniture is much more design inspired, ranging from sleek and modern to richly traditional. Our outdoor furniture stores in Hickory, NC will feature a mix of metal and teak, cast wrought iron, or heavy cast aluminum to inspire your outdoor spaces.
Teak is used in abundance and known for its ability to weather wet and humid climates. It works well combined with metal finishes and will take on a gray patina if allowed to age unsealed. Certain types of tropical mahogany have also become popular in outdoor furniture.
Metal finishes are available in a bevy of colors, from hammered rustic finishes to sleek and shiny. Aluminum is now a popular choice for its durability, as well as its lighter weight frames. Iron will always be a popular choice for its versatility in style.
All-weather wicker has changed dramatically from the typical Victorian styles that were favored for so long. When you visit the showrooms at Hickory Furniture Mart, you’ll see a wide range of finishes in an even wider range of styles. Contemporary wicker is much more tightly woven for a minimalist effect, using thin aluminum reeds that will withstand any type of weather.
Tables cast in metal with stone tops provide interest with easy to care for finishes. Outdoor furniture has been taken to a whole new level with the numerous options available. Visit the North Carolina Furniture Outlets at Hickory Furniture Mart for the best selection in outdoor decorating.
