How to Admire Distressed Outdoor Furniture

Distressed outdoor furniture can have a significant impact on how your backyard looks. If you are trying to acquire a rustic feel, then having distressed outdoor furniture may be what you are looking for.

For those brave enough to tackle an arduous project, perhaps the prospect of distressing your own outdoor furniture may be more enjoyable than buying it distressed. However, for the overwhelming majority of people, buying outdoor furniture that already has been distressed is the route they decide to take.

The outlining of your backyard may hold a key to best utilize where a piece of distressed outdoor furniture would be placed. Besides choosing the furniture itself, nothing is as important as the locale of distressed furniture. If you have a swimming pool, the distressed chaise lounges, with matching distressed chairs and distressed tables would compliment the area surrounding the pool. An umbrella that matches the overall color scheme could be situated near distressed outdoor furniture. If a backyard has an adequate amount of space, then a two-to-three-person swing set spaced apart, yet nearby the other distressed furniture, would provide a comfortable ambiance. It would enable other people to engage in discourse or it would provide them alone time with themselves or with special friends.

The key to distress outdoor furniture is balance. Too much distressed furniture on one side would look lopsided. Within that framework is the backyard itself. Are there many trees that preclude any particular piece of distressed furniture from being placed under them? Some distressed outdoor furniture can complement any aspect to their backyard. A distressed chaise lounge would look fabulous under trees, near a pool, or on a deck. Another sore spot could come from having a harmonious backdrop of distressed furniture mixed with ordinary outdoor furniture. An imbalance would be created with the combination, unless someone with expertise can arrange it so they blend.

Many different combinations exist with distressed outdoor furniture. The essential elements are balance and practicality. When both are harmonious, the backyard would add sentimental value to your home.
