Porch and patio furnishings will be an integral part of the landscaped design of a Fort Myers home. The overall landscape will include several elements including focal points, accents, depth, color, balance, etc. Creating a landscape that successfully incorporates all elements for an amazing result requires professional input, and Beltran’s Nursery and Landscape can provide that. Before you buy plants, trees, and furniture, schedule a consultation with our team for design guidance.
Weigh the Costs of Selecting Cheaper Outdoor Furnishings
Purchasing low priced outdoor furnishings will likely require that you buy replacements sooner and enjoy your outdoor time far less. Your outdoor furniture should weather the sun, rain, wind, and humidity of Southwest Florida well and provide comfortable seating or reclining to promote outdoor relaxation. The outdoor furniture that lasts, resists fading and staining, allows for easy cleaning, and provides comfort is also generally more expensive.
Identify Furnishings That Complement the Landscape’s Plants and Trees

Choose Furnishings That Work with Your Patio or Deck
The patio or deck that you have will dictate some of the features of your outdoor furniture. The furniture’s size should be such that leaves sufficient room for movement while providing seating space for residents and expected guests.
Another factor to consider is the material composing the patio or deck. A wooden deck will require that you choose chairs with wide enough legs that they won’t get stuck in the area between boards while a concrete patio can get slick in the rain, so furniture that doesn’t slide would be most appropriate.
Go with Furnishings That Fill a Design Function
Every landscape requires a focal point, and depending on the size and setup of your property, the focal feature might just be your outdoor furnishings. The right pieces along with the perfect plant accessories will draw the eye as a focal point should.
