Selecting Suitable Tortuga Outdoor Furniture

The first step when shopping for outdoor furniture is to consider your space. This will help you determine the perfect Tortuga wooden patio furniture. Whether you have a patio or a deck, you should take note of architectural features like columns, stairs, and pillars. Other than that, you should consider the orientation of your space - wind patterns, sun exposure, etc. These fine details will help you determine how many pieces to buy.

Sizing & Furniture Options: Tortuga's smaller patio furniture options allow you to enjoy your outdoor space without making it feel cluttered. Here are some pieces to help you get the most out of your space.

Arranging Seating for Your Guests

The way you arrange your Tortuga garden furniture will set the tone for your outdoor space. No matter the size, you should ensure your patio is functional and inviting. Here are some tips on how to accommodate your guests comfortably.

Choose the focal point: Pick the area that will serve as the primary gathering point based on the layout. Which furniture pieces draw the eye?

Find a balance: Your Tortuga furniture arrangement doesn't have to be symmetrical. For smaller spaces, you should ensure everyone has a spot to kick their feet comfortably. You can mix smaller furniture with large pieces to keep the area balanced.

Create zones: If you have a spacious yard, you should separate the dining area from the lounging zone. You can utilize greenery to create a space for your wooden patio furniture.

Incorporate a shade: If you predict a hot day, you should keep a few chairs in a shaded area. Use umbrellas, pergolas, or awnings. Don't forget to take advantage of natural shade.

Add elements of ambiance and comfort: Show your sense of style with colors that speak your personality. If you have extra room, you can add scented candles. A few throw-in pillows will do the trick.

Arrange patio poolside furniture: You can add poolside seating to your desired aesthetic. If you want to create a more relaxing space, you should consider a few sectionals.

Flexibly Arrange your Furniture: You can mix and match individual Tortuga pieces to suit your seating arrangement. If you have a small backyard, use patio bar sets to maximize the space.

If you plan to invite a large group for Thanksgiving, you can choose a 7pc dining set. Try to break up the seats to create more room for movement.

If you want your guests to lay back in style, you can add a few outdoor sectionals or a `kids' table. Tortuga sectionals have thick padded seat cushions to ensure your comfort.
