Best Styling Tips for Rope Garden Furniture

Now that you understand why rope garden furniture is all the rage, we're going to go over how you can make the most of it to get an invitable, stylish outdoor vibe.

Create a Defined Seating Area

Begin by opting for a rope sofa set, rope lounge chairs or a mix of the two to create a seating area. It will form a definite garden centrepiece for you. Soft pillows in neutrals or earthy tones can take the edge off and make the seat more comfortable. Want to make it pop? Test out strong cushion colours such as mustard yellow, forest green or burnt orange for contrast.

Pro Tip: Pair with a coffee table or side tables in the same material, such as rope, rattan or natural wood, to complete the look.

Adopt Earthy Hues & Raw Textures

Rope furniture by its very nature pairs with any organic materials. Amplify this effect by mixing and matching your furniture:

• Woven baskets
• Wooden planters
• Stone sculptures
• Ceramic pots

Combining these elements will provide your space with a relaxed, unified, and laid-back feel, which is exactly what you want when unwinding or entertaining outside.

Mix and Match with Outdoor Rugs and Throws

Bring in warmth and personality with an outdoor rug made to withstand the weather. It works to ground the space, and at the same time, introduces a pop of color or pattern. Choose from boho, geometric or striped options to complement the modern look of your rope furniture.

Throw a soft and fluffy fleece throw blanket on your rope armchair or sofa for an extra-cozy touch for colder nights.

Bring in Greenery

Greenery goes a long way to help any outdoor furniture arrangement to look great. Large leafy plants in tall corner pots, hanging planters or vertical garden walls are all ideas we love to layer in to balance the very structured look of rope furniture with softness of the natural green.

Create Ambiance with Outdoor Lighting

The right lighting is essential for an appropriate mood. Mix and match lighting combinations with:

• String lights above the area where you'll be sitting
• LED lanterns on tables
• Decorative hanging bulbs

This two-tiered lighting method infuses warmth and sophistication so that it turns your rope furniture arrangement into a welcoming night time haven.

Add Functional Decor Pieces

Select accessories that are good looking and functional :

• Pouffes for extra seating.
• Leg rest or more table space, Ottomans.
• Bench-style storage bins that stash cushions or throws.
• Doubly practical furniture, that makes no concessions on design.
• Play With Layouts.

Do not hesitate to move around your rope furniture depending on the occasion. Whether you entertain friends with a cocktail evening or relax with a good book in your own special nook, you'll find rope furniture easy to move around.

For conversations, try setting up your chairs in a circle or lining them up in an L-shape for a more formal lounging area.

Protect Your Investment

While rope furniture is made for the outdoors, you'll want to take care of it to help ensure it lasts:

• When the winter is brutal or the rain is excessive, protect it.
