It isn’t a good idea to put your sofa outside. Furniture that’s designed for the inside of your home won’t withstand the conditions outside whereas outdoor furniture is made to endure the weather.
Depending where you live, however, you might be able to save on outdoor furniture. ‘Although all-weather furniture is an excellent choice for areas with extreme weather, it is not always necessary,’ explains interior designer Artem Kropovinsky of Arsight. ‘In milder climates, it is possible to opt for less expensive furniture that isn’t specifically designed for all-weather usage.’
