Outdoor decks are an excellent amenity for any home or apartment; however, these outdoor relaxation areas are only as great as the furniture that adorns them. Wicker furniture is ideal for warm, tropical climates while cushioned furniture is best for cooler areas as the fabric will help trap body heat and prevent unwanted breezes from ruining your morning cup of coffee. If the furniture will be exposed to the elements, purchase a set with removable cushions or furniture with waterproof and weather proof materials.
