How to deck out your space for outdoor living
A lovely big deck where the family will eat meals, hang out, and soak up the sun will look completely different from a deck only intended for the odd shindig or a cosy deck off a bedroom for reading and dozing.
So, before buying new outdoor furniture, you need to ask yourself whether kids will be using the deck, how many people will be out there socialising, and how often.
If you’re into hosting barbecues, pizza parties, fun cocktail evenings, or poolside gatherings, your deck, patio, or garden will need to be optimised for summer fun. Without the proper setup, your outdoor entertainment area could well look like just a bare, neglected space that’s used to get from the house to the backyard instead of a gorgeous space for entertaining, socialising, and hosting.
To pull off fantastic al fresco dining or a casual drinks party, you need to properly furnish and decorate your deck. So, do you go for ultra-modern pieces and clean lines to create an upscale, contemporary space, or opt for rustic, relaxed furniture choices to cultivate a haven of relaxation and entertainment? Your outdoor furniture should marry function and practicality with comfort, fun, and form. Talk to us to get some ideas for deck furniture.
Outdoor furniture
After adding a structure to your deck, it’s time to furnish it with your guest’s needs in mind. Depending on where you live in New Zealand, your deck furniture will have to weather rain, snow, salty sea air, or beating sun throughout the year without degrading, fading, or cracking.
To create an entertainment zone that will last, choose furniture pieces constructed with durable, weather-resistant materials like rattan, aluminium, or teak. Our sofas and armchairs are outfitted with quick-drying cushions that repel moisture and resist bacteria buildup.
Party deck layout
How do you select deck furniture specifically for hosting large gatherings? Easy! Leave plenty of centrally located space for mingling, dancing, or swapping stories late into the night. Spread deep seating sets and benches along the edges of your deck.
Try an outdoor fireplace to keep the conversation flowing late into the night. Just ensure you choose a fire pit table that is safe to use atop your decking.
Off-the-bedroom deck
Create the ultimate outdoor escape for reading, dozing and quiet, intimate breakfasts by furnishing this private deck space with sun loungers, side tables, and some comfy cushions.
Food-centric deck
For serving feasts and bountiful brunches and lunches outdoors, feature a generous dining set on your deck. Incorporate a few lower tables around the serving area for appetisers, cocktails, and cushions so the younger members of the whanau can sprawl comfortably throughout lunch or dinner.
Lounge about deck
A deep seating set creates the perfect area to enjoy an afternoon sundowner and catch up on the latest news.

Deck structures
A common problem with decks is full sun exposure. If you plan on hosting outdoor events over the spring and summer and your deck doesn’t have natural coverage from trees or even nearby buildings, a shade structure is essential.
Build a pergola over your dining space to create a natural overhead shade. A structure of sturdy vertical posts supporting an overhead open-lattice crossbeam grid, they create partial shade: a welcome reprieve from the New Zealand sun.
You can set up a dining area underneath a pergola, so you don’t need a large sun umbrella, which can often be a bit of a nuisance in the middle of a dining table.
Accessorise and jazz up your pergola by adding a speaker system, sparkly lights, a hanging chandelier to add a sophisticated touch, a ceiling fan, or hanging curtains to keep out the wind or even insects.
Accent ideas
Complete the effect with decorations and accent pieces to tie everything together. Large outdoor rugs section off space, which will prove useful if you’ve furnished one area for dining, another for relaxing, and another for standing and chatting. Don’t shy away from using bright patterns and colours. Outdoor throw pillows and cushions make any seating group look cosier and more inviting. We’re full of ideas for deck furniture, so be sure to get in touch.
