We all love summer, that’s for sure. Long balmy days, warm nights and the opportunity to gather in our gardens for poolside parties, festive barbecues or alfresco brunches definitely hits the spot.
So we suggest you shake off your winter blues and take a peek at our design team’s top 10 Atmosphera outdoor sofas for your summer soirees. Because when it comes to being entertainment-ready, it’s a brand that certainly comes up trumps.
Highly esteemed in the world of exteriors, this proudly Italian institution is renowned for its chic outdoor creations, gracing the decks of fine establishments worldwide.
Inspired by the serenity of nature and made to the finest specifications, its furnishings are graceful, modern and easy on the eye. And with a range that encompasses stylish seating plans, sleek dining sets, luxurious loungers, tasteful accessories and everything in between, open-air living is a breeze.
So if you’re looking to infuse your backyards with a touch of class, read on. This is the low down on Atmosphera’s quality sofas and why they’re one of our number one must-haves.
Professionals will tell you that creating cohesivity between our interior and exterior spaces is a recipe for success when it comes to well-considered design. And, with lifestyle gurus encouraging more time in the fresh air to preserve our wellness and mental health, our gardens have become a top priority.
But it takes more than just beautiful aesthetics to find the ideal outdoor sofa. In fact, in an era when trends are constantly evolving, sourcing offerings that are both timeless and unique is a serious endeavour.
So, whether you’re after a cosy two-seater or an expensive sectional, our experts have compiled this list of essential pointers to help you pick out your ideal fit:
When looking for a new outdoor sofa, our top tip is to search for high-quality craftsmanship. Skimp on this, and you might find yourself hunting down a new one in just a few months.
Test it out in the shop to make sure that it’s sturdy and comfortable. We also suggest you do a little research on the brand to find out more about its manufacturing processes and materials.
Make durability a priority on your checklist and be absolutely sure that the item you’re considering is intended for outdoor use.
Every component should be constructed from materials that will endure extreme climate fluctuations like teak, wicker and aluminium, allowing it to stand the test of time.
Ensuring that your new outdoor sofa is comfortable should be a no-brainer, right? Well, with over 30 years in the design industry, we know that one of the most common mistakes that people make is to choose aesthetics over comfort.
However, if you pick a reputable brand, you can have both. Good ergonomics, fine fabric and quality padding will all inspire you to curl up on it for hours.
Let’s face it, furniture (and especially the outdoor variety) is prone to dirt. From enthusiastic pets jumping up with wet paws to wine spills when the party’s in full swing, keeping them clean can be a nightmare.
To mitigate the mayhem, find a sofa that has been upholstered in something that is easy to clean, wears well and is fade-resistant.
In this day and age, eco-friendliness is key in interior design, with many manufacturers taking care to use materials that are sustainably sourced, recycled or biodegradable.
So, if reducing your carbon footprint is important to you, be careful to choose a brand that is planet-conscious.
We all know that trends come and go, and being invested in what’s hot and happening is an easy trap to fall into. However, if you want to end up with something that’s future-proof, we advise that you pick a style that is both classy and timeless.
Atmosphera outdoor furniture has a number of highly desirable characteristics that make it an excellent choice for any discerning living space. Here are some of our favourite features:
Atmosphera is well known for its commitment to sustainability in terms of both the working conditions of every employee and the materials they use.
Teak, a premium hardwood known for its extreme durability, is one of its primary choices and is sourced from certified forests that ensure renewable harvesting practices.
In addition, weather-proof resources including recyclable aluminium, stainless steel, rope and corrosion-resistant fabrics are staples in their designs, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste.
This holistic approach embraces a circular system that ensures all of their products have a long lifespan, are repairable and can be recycled or biodegraded at the end of their term.
