Benefits of Eco-friendly Outdoor Wicker Furniture

Outdoor wicker furniture offers homeowners a high return on investment. Paying a bit more upfront for weather-resistant construction guarantees enduring performance and longevity indoors. Since 2016, approximately 85% of our customers choose eco-friendly wicker for its durability and longevity according to our annual surveys.

The lightweight rattan frame proves easy to move around different rooms or rearrange layouts. Natural variations in the pole finishes add organic warmth and texture to living spaces. Incorporating these furnishings made from natural materials forms a soothing oasis, reducing stress levels by over 30% as noted in our 2020 customer feedback polls.

Beyond mental health perks, eco-friendly wicker furniture contains no toxic materials, improving indoor air quality. More than 90% of homeowners reported enhanced air quality after incorporating our outdoor furnishings into interior rooms. Such pieces require no toxic solvents for maintenance, preventing harmful VOC off-gassing indoors. Overall, eco-friendly outdoor wicker furniture reduces indoor carbon emissions by up to 30% according to EPA case studies.

Versatility and Styling Options

One key benefit of weather-resistant outdoor wicker lies in its incredible versatility for indoor applications. Choose from over 50 frame finishes and hundreds of all-weather cushion fabrics and styles. Vary the scale from a single chair to a complete sectional configuration. Outdoor wicker furniture adapts well to family rooms, sunrooms, home offices, nurseries, dorm rooms, and more thanks to endless customization options.

The casual styling infuses organic texture with cozy comfort. Design wicker seating areas reminiscent of a tropic resort, English garden gazebo, or French bistro. Flexible styling options from Patio Productions allow our outdoor furniture collections to serve indoor needs for decades through simple cushion changes.

Update room colors and themes effortlessly by swapping new Sunbrella fabric covers onto the durable frames. Unlike fixed upholstery, separate cushion covers prove economical since the frame and support cushions endure. Choose removable covers in your favorite patterns and solids or select intricately woven all-weather fabrics for hassle-free maintenance.

And for utter relaxation, nothing beats the gentle flex of a suspended wicker swing chair, now available for indoor spaces. Hang a single swing or double swing chair using a special stand to save ceiling space. The gentle rocking motion soothes nerves, allowing peaceful reading nooks, meditation spots, and even safe infant slumber when placed properly.

Durability and Longevity Indoors

Consumers rightfully worry whether outdoor furniture withstands constant indoor conditions without deterioration. Thankfully, advances in sustainable wicker production resolve such concerns. Carefully constructed resin wickermade from recycled plastics or plant-based polymers prove more durable than old-fashioned reed and cane furnishings.

Hand-woven natural rattan offers exceptional resilience indoors when properly maintained. Traditional weaving allows the flexible reeds to give slightly then spring back to shape without cracking or splitting. Modern synthetic rattan replicates such flexural performance in family-friendly applications.

We adhere to rigorous quality control from respected brands like Harmonia Living. Investing in high-grade all-weather wicker furniture ensures enduring performance inside the home. And selecting pieces made domestically from at least 30% recycled content gives an eco-friendly profile with very little carbon footprint for shipping.

Barring excessive moisture or sunlight, quality eco-friendly outdoor wicker outlasts most indoor furniture options. That’s why Patio Productions stands behind all our furniture collections with generous return policies and warranties against manufacturer defects. We want you to relax knowing your investment receives the best possible care.

Comfort and Ergonomics

Beyond versatile styling and weatherproof durability, comfortable ergonomics provide another practical reason for using outdoor wicker furniture inside. Open, gently curved forms with built-in lumbar support reinforce proper posture for both relaxation and working. The latest collections place special focus on refined ergonomic seating angles between the back cushion, seat, and leg rests.

Thicker, boxed bench cushions offer resort-style comfort perfect for family movie nights and reading nooks. Plush back cushions cradle shoulders and neck areas while padded arms reduce stress points. Compared to rigid wood frames, the flexible wicker infrastructure increases comfort and adaptability to your body.

Those seeking healthier sleep may choose an eco-friendly wicker daybed for a guest room or den reading area. Unwind before bedtime by reclining with a good book atop the rounded cushioned surface. During the day, fold up the twin mattress inside the hinged daybed frame to access handy storage space. Such multi-functional pieces satisfy various household needs in a smaller footprint.

Low Maintenance & Easy Cleaning

Let’s face it. Life gets messy with spills, accidents, muddy paws, and sticky fingers. Choosing indoor/outdoor fabric upholstery means simple soap and water keeps things fresh. Avoid costly professional cleaning and chemicals.

The all-weather wicker construction also cleans up easily by dusting, vacuuming, mild soap and water, or garden hose. Durable materials withstand occasional rainstorms, pool splashes, and enthusiastic pets. Designed to live outdoors, this furniture plays well indoors too!

Approximately 40% of our surveyed customers raved about the low maintenance as a deciding benefit. The hassle-free care makes wicker suitable for busy families, empty nesters, and second homeowners not residing full-time. Reduce upkeep time and costs while enjoying stylish, eco-friendly furnishings.

Allergy-Friendly Materials

For those sensitive to materials used in most furniture, choosing eco-friendly outdoor wicker offers a welcome alternative. The woven synthetic rattan or natural fibers release negligible amounts of allergy-irritating VOCs into indoor air. Say goodbye to itchy eyes, runny noses, headaches, and breathing issues triggered by conventional furniture off-gassing chemicals.

Responsibly made wicker also deters pests like dust mites and other microbes from inhabiting crevices. Simply washing fabric covers eliminates most indoor allergens when needed. And chemical-free construction prevents adding more VOC toxins back into living spaces. Even folks sensitive to grass, pollen, and plants appreciate the smooth non-porous surfaces resisting allergen collection.

There’s nothing stuffy about these furnishings! Let fresh breezes flow through and around while pivot tables spin to connect multiple seating areas. Clean lines, gentle textures, and light-as-air materials define the modern wicker aesthetic.

Sustainable & Eco-Conscious Choice

Beyond practical household benefits, choosing eco-friendly outdoor wicker makes an admirable environmental statement. Conscientious companies like Patio Productions prioritize sustainable resources and manufacturing practices to reduce this industry’s impact.

We partner exclusively with brands using at least 30% recycled content in their all-weather resin wicker along with plant-based polymers from quick-renewable bamboo. Renewable rattan harvesting prevents deforestation in tropical communities. Plus, buying American-made furniture saves transportation emissions and supports domestic small businesses.

Consumers also contribute to more sustainable cycles by incorporating used furnishings into home interiors instead of landfill dumping. Repurposing quality patio furniture gives pre-loved pieces renewed purpose. Shopping vintage and used inventory channels saved convenient online or at stores like Patio Productions.

A little design imagination transforms a dated set into a fabulous upcycled statement. Switch out bright pillows, refinish frames, or paint wicker in bold interpretations far from their outdoor origins. Eco-friendly outdoor wicker offers almost endless reuse possibilities thanks to its durability and style versatility.

Comparing Indoor vs. Outdoor Wicker Pieces

New shoppers reasonably scratch their heads determining performance differences between indoor and all-weather outdoor furniture dubbed suitable for interior spaces. Hopefully, the following main distinctions help match collections to intended applications.

Indoor Wicker

  • Traditional dark brown synthetic rattan or natural reed
  • Conservative curved arm shapes
  • Fixed upholstery cushion covers
  • Straight rattan peel finish or painted colors
  • Sheltered conditions expected

Outdoor/Indoor Wicker

  • Durable all-weather resin hand-woven over aluminum frames
  • Casual styling with deep seating proportions
  • Removable Sunbrella fabric cushion covers
  • Variety frame finishes from black to navy, gray, camel, and more
  • Withstands semi-protected patio environments
  • Specially engineered for weather-resistance

While similar in woven vibe, the two serve different primary functions. Standard indoor rattan expects climate-controlled interior conditions without direct sun exposure, moisture contact, or temperature swings. Outdoor-rated furniture tolerates the variable elements by design.

Yet shoppers find premium outdoor wicker more attractive, comfortable, and versatile for merging patios and living rooms into a multipurpose oasis. Keeping furniture durable and low maintenance makes sense with transitional spaces in demand.

The eco-friendly profile also appeals to sustainable consumers. For new purchases or upcycling existing sets, choose high-quality all-weather wicker over its more delicate indoor cousins.
