Winter is Finally Here


Outdoor Season!!

Winter is finally here and outdoor season has finally arrived.  It’s time to get new outdoor furniture and enjoy the cold breeze. When shopping for outdoor furniture you should keep in mind three important points:

  • 1   Weather
  • 2      Material
  • 3     Statement


All of those three points are connected to each other one way or another. You have to keep in mind that the weather in Kuwait is, rainy, dusty, humid and so forth. Therefore, when shopping you should keep in mind the weather and choose your materials wisely. You should go for water resistant fabrics for the seats and cushions. Seats made of bamboo or rattan and wooden tables with glass surfaces because they are more durable. However, you should avoid metals because they’ll rust; they are better off inside the house. Be creative with your choices; pick bold, unique and rare products for your garden. Make a statement with the pieces you choose.

Whats the difference between bamboo and rattan?


They both look and feel the same. However, the difference between them is a matter of quality and price.

Bamboo

Furniture made of bamboo are usually cheaper in price. The life span of bamboo furniture would vary depending on the owners good care from one to three years.

Rattan

Rattan is usually higher in price. Most of the luxury furniture brands use rattan for all their outdoor furniture. Quality-wise rattan is very strong and more durable. Life span of rattan is five to eight years maximum if well taken care off.
