Forget picnic tables, plastic chairs, and patio sets. No, we’re talking about the real deal.
We’re talking about moving furniture from inside your pad to outside of it, and busting the shackles of climate control in favor of fresh air and a rocking good time.
Feel these beats:
1. Porch Couch. Sure, your worn out duct-tape-and-corduroy sofa is out in the elements, but now you get a comfy chill-out spot to watch the world go by. Porch couches are perfect for chilling after class at college, handing out Halloween candy, or taking your late night neighborhood watch shift.
2. Tailgate party. Man, have you seen some of these setups? I’m just an amateur, but sometimes we’re talking about the entire living room being transplanted onto the gravel parking lot outside the stadium. Pops balances the big screen in the pickup truck cab while Junior lays a rug down by the barbecue. It’s time for grilling.
3. Backyard Birthday. Wobbly folding chair legs sink into the grass while basement card tables are wiped off and covered in plastic tablecloths for their annual cameo as Punch Bowl Station or Place We’re Cutting The Cake Later.
People, when you move indoor furniture outdoors you’re spreading the party all over the place. Chill out, relax, and put your feet up on the cooler, because it’s sunny out and it’s time to enjoy the moment.
AWESOME!
Hmm. You know, I’ve never put my indoor furniture outside. And that just doesn’t seem right…
Ha ha it’s us! We picked up a free 3 seater lounge on fb. Its position was destined before we picked it up. Our back deck. Perfect for afternoon chill sessions in the sun with the beverage of choice, or just a time out zone (for the adults, not the daughter).
Now, to instal a blind so we don’t burn our retinas out in the blazing summer Aussie sun!
Most furniture I own spends a season outside before it gets thrown out. It feels great to get that super comfy experience on the back deck or front porch for a little while.
That’s the thing to do here in WV. So many people have couches on their porch out in the country settings… and even in the small ghetto parts too.
How cool! Nobody here does it, but in the small town where I used to live, it was more common…particularly on college apt. houses. Nothing says, “Welcome” like real furniture on the porch!
These are great ideas and can free some space inside the house. My basement storage has a lot of pieces of furniture like the couch that I can put on the porch. I think my mates would love it as it would call for some hanging out and having a beer outdoors.
