Outdoor Furniture Tips for Florida Patios
Florida patios are made for relaxing, entertaining, and soaking up the sunshine. But if you want your outdoor space to stay beautiful and functional year-round, it’s important to choose furniture that can withstand the heat, humidity, and occasional storms.
Here are some expert tips to help you create a stylish, comfortable, and durable patio — while keeping your wallet happy.
1️⃣ Choose the Right Materials
Not all patio furniture is built for Florida’s climate. Investing in quality materials now saves money and headaches later. For example, Nuvella®, a brand name for a durable, high-performance, and easy-to-clean synthetic fabric. At Mattress and Furniture Super Center, we have a selection of quality outdoor furniture on display for you to test, try, and fall in love with.
Add a distinguished touch of gray to your outdoor living space with this loveseat with table and chairs package. It's made with resin wicker over an aluminum frame for a relaxed look that provides seasons of enjoyment. Rest assured, the thick seat and back cushions are wrapped in our exclusive Nuvella® high-performance fabric that’s fade-resistant, stain-resistant and a breeze to clean.
2️⃣ Pick Cushions and Fabrics That Last
Outdoor cushions should be fade-resistant, quick-drying, and mold-resistant. Removable covers make cleaning easy and help keep your patio looking fresh. Fun tip: choose bright, sunny colors that complement your Florida skies!

3️⃣ Smart Layout & Placement
Easily increase seating space in your backyard with this transitional aluminum set. A spacious sofa seat will enhance relaxation during any social event while the paired table provides a convenient place to set down drinks and snacks.
Arrange seating to encourage conversation, but leave clear pathways for easy movement. Consider adding:
-
Umbrellas or pergolas for shade
-
Side tables for drinks and snacks
-
Outdoor rugs to define the space and add color
A well-thought-out layout keeps your patio functional and inviting.
4️⃣ Regular Maintenance
Even the best patio furniture needs a little TLC:
-
Clean regularly with mild soap and water
-
Cover or store cushions during heavy rain or storms
-
Check for rust or mildew and address it promptly
A few minutes of maintenance each week keeps your outdoor furniture looking brand new.
5️⃣ Accessorize for Comfort & Style
Add luxury, comfort and durability to alfresco fun. This outdoor sectional captures the textural beauty of wicker while withstanding the elements, from rain to shine. With a UV-resistant design, the wonderfully low-maintenance Nuvella+™ fabric maintains its good looks over time. Deep, roomy seating completes the piece, offering ample space to sprawl out.
Throw pillows, lanterns, potted plants, and string lights instantly upgrade your patio vibe. Small touches make your outdoor space feel cozy and personal — perfect for family gatherings, parties, or just relaxing on a weekend.
