Add a Teak Outdoor Sectional or Sofa to Your Backyard
The outdoor living room trend has been booming for a while now, but it has really taken off over the last two years as people have been moving social gatherings outdoors as much as possible. With the abundance of high-quality outdoor furniture available at Williams Sonoma, you can easily create beautiful, comfortable outdoor spaces for dining and lounging. Modern outdoor furniture is almost indistinguishable from its indoor equivalent. A teak outdoor sectional and a coordinating outdoor coffee table are all you need to design an inviting outdoor space for relaxing or socializing under the sun or stars.
Teak is An Ideal Material for Outdoor Furniture
As one of the most durable hardwoods, teak is an ideal choice for outdoor use. Due to its high oil content, teak is naturally resistant to moisture and rot, so it will hold up well even when left uncovered in inclement weather. An unfinished teak outdoor sectional or sofa will hold up well in all climates, gradually weathering to a soft grey hue. If, however, you would prefer to minimize this natural weathering, you can always protect your outdoor sofas, chairs and tables from the elements with furniture covers. Finally, over 98% of the teak used in Williams Sonoma's outdoor furniture is made with wood from forests that have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). FSC-certified forests are responsibly managed and determined to be providing environmental, social and economic benefits, so you can rest easy knowing that you are shopping responsibly.
When thinking about how to incorporate teak furniture into your backyard or patio, you'll want to consider how you'll use the space. If you think you'll primarily use the space for big family meals, you may want to start by browsing Williams Sonoma's teak outdoor dining furniture. On the other hand, if you envision more of a space for lounging and sharing a casual drink, you may want to start with a teak coffee table and a teak outdoor sectional or sofa.
Williams Sonoma's collection of outdoor seating includes sofas and sectionals in a variety of sizes and styles. You'll find sofas and sectionals with seats and backs made of all-weather woven material with the look of classic wicker. You can these pieces as-is for a more casual feel or add plush, overstuffed cushions for maximum comfort. The cushions are available in a variety of shades in Sunbrella® and Perennials® performance fabrics that repel water and resist stains, mildew and fading. Here are just a few of the teak sofas and sectionals available at Williams Sonoma:
