1. Stone Bar and Bar Stools
Truly classic, a built-in bar is an anchor for all your outdoor entertaining — and it solves your seating problem. Whether you serve up cocktails or burgers, your guests will love having a seat at the bar. A stone bar is ideal as it will last as long as the deck itself and will look gorgeous the entire time.
2. Wicker Outdoor Furniture
A practical and stylish choice, a wicker outdoor furniture set is one of the best deck accessories for seating. Since it’s made for the outdoors, this furniture can survive years in the sun and the rain and keep its color and good condition. This outdoor wicker furniture can make an eye-catching addition to more neutral-colored decks and patios.
3. Built-in Benches
This one-of-a-kind deck seating option comes built into your space, providing you with a unique seating option and a striking aesthetic touch. This wood and stone bench plays off the main material themes of the covered porch. Our favorite porch seating options always have an element of stylistic enhancement — after all, practicality and style are our guiding principles.
4. Covered Space Couches
The philosophy behind the outdoor living movement is to bring the comfort of the indoors outside. If you’re building an outdoor living room, you will need an oversized and comfy couch. When protected from the wind and rain by a covered porch, you can decorate your space with an indoor luxury couch. Complete your space with a TV and a fireplace for even more of a living room feel!
