Choosing outdoor furniture in India requires balancing climate, durability, and style. Wooden furniture—like teak, eucalyptus, or acacia—looks elegant and handles Indian humidity well if properly oiled. However, it needs periodic maintenance against rain and sun.
Metal furniture (aluminum, wrought iron) is durable and sturdy, with powder-coated finishes resisting rust. It’s heavy, ideal for windy areas, but exposure to salt air (coasts) may cause corrosion if not well maintained.
Synthetic (rattan or resin) options are weatherproof, lightweight, and affordable. Modern synthetics handle intense sun and rain, require minimal care, and mimic natural textures. However, low-end plastic fades and cracks.
Mix and match materials for best effect: wood for warmth, metal for sleekness, rattan for casual charm. Always use weather-resistant cushions and covers for longevity.
