It’s also a welcome oasis from the hot summer sun. The seating you choose is very important: Sitting is the main thing anyone does on a porch! If the porch is in the front of the house, it has to complement the design of the home and be a welcoming spot for visitors. If the porch is in the back, it’s more of a private space, ideal for whiling away the hours outdoors undercover.
Before you go shopping for porch chairs, you need to consider what kind are best for the style of the house as well as the size of the porch. Also, think about what you will typically want to do on your porch. Is it big enough to include a small table for playing games or working? Or, do you envision an old-fashioned porch set-up with a line of rocking chairs, perfectly suited for conversation and watching the people go by? It the space is big enough, you can create a couple of separate seating areas and mix up the types of porch chairs you include.
Types of Porch Chairs
As you might expect, there are many types of porch chairs to choose from.
Outdoor Dining Chairs
While these chairs are ideal for use with an outdoor dining table, they are also super useful when it comes to having enough porch chairs for family and friends. If you enjoy sitting in them around the table after your meal, then it’s likely you’ll find them comfortable enough for casual sitting as well. Moreover, if you have a small space and need your porch chairs to do double duty, outdoor dining chairs are a great option.
Outdoor Bar Stools
This type of seating might not automatically come to mind when considering the different types of porch chairs available, but in the right situation, they can be a fabulous addition to your outdoor space. If you’re considering a high-top dining set, having extra chairs that are like bar stools can help expand seating around the bistro table if you have extra people for snacks or drinks. Or, if you have any type of outdoor bar set up, outdoor bar stools are an absolute necessity because that’s where friends will want to hang out. Both backless styles and those that have a back support are options when it comes to your outdoor space, depending on your personal preference.
Outdoor Club Chairs
One of the most popular types of porch chairs is outdoor club chairs for the same reasons that this style is popular for the indoors: There’s nothing comfier than sinking into the thick cushions and being ensconced in a substantial chair. A wide range of styles is available, from modern minimalist resin wicker styles to models that are crafted from wood and are versatile enough to mix with any number of outdoor furniture styles.
Outdoor Chaise Lounges
Many people relax best when they can stretch out and for them, outdoor chaise lounges are a prime choice. These come in many different variations, from a slink type of lounge to a more substantial style that is akin to a daybed or what some may call a sunbed. These porch chairs are also a good option for those who like to do some sunbathing as well. As with outdoor club chairs, the materials and specific looks that are available run the full gamut and it won’t be hard to find something that works for your outdoor space. It’s important to remember that outdoor chaise lounges may not work in a small space because they take up more room, so be sure to do some planning before you buy!
Adirondack Chairs
You’ll know an Adirondack chair when you see one. Its iconic silhouette has a tall back and a seat that slants down toward the back. Named after New York’s famed Adirondack Mountains, the reclining chair is immediately associated with the outdoors and relaxation. Traditionally made from wood, this style of outdoor chair is now available in more durable, low maintenance HDPE lumber substitutes. When it comes to porch chairs, you can’t go wrong with one of these. The design is low to the ground and has wide arms that are very handy for balancing a plate or a cup. The deep, slanted seat gives you a perfect lap for holding a pet or a small child. Finally, because they are so low to the ground, they can be harder to get out of for people who have mobility issues. For the ultimate in comfort, pair an Adirondack chair with a footstool!
Rocking Chairs
A rocking chair on the porch might be associated with grandma and a vintage era, but there’s a good reason the porch and a rocker are an unbeatable combination: The rocking motion is super relaxing and in concert with the calm vibe of the outdoors, it’s a real winner. Fortunately, today there are far more styles to choose from than the old-fashioned rocking chairs of yore. From modern wicker models to minimalist metal designs and club chairs with a glider mechanism, they all have that Zen-inducing motion that we all crave. It definitely won’t be difficult to find a size and style of rocking porch chair that works for your home.
Beach Chairs
Traditionally style beach chairs are made to sit much, much. Closer to the ground than standard chairs. In fact, the standard height is no more than 12 inches. The whole reason for this is so that you can position the chair to stretch out or keep your feet in the surf as the waves roll up. That said, other types of beach chairs are available that are also ideal as porch chairs, such as zero gravity chairs and portable chaise lounge chairs. Folding beach chairs are ideal if you want porch chairs that are versatile and can be hailed off to the beach, or simply folded away when not in use.
Outdoor Benches
If space is tight, a versatile option is using an outdoor bench instead of other types of porch chairs. Benches that do not have a back can serve as an extra table or a footstool when necessary. Styles with backs are perfect for two and can also be great for curling up and reading. Most of all, outdoor benches tend to take up less space and can easily be placed flush against a wall.
Outdoor Swings
If an outdoor swing is not the epitome of relaxation on a summer afternoon, we don’t know what is. Opting for a swing as a porch chair does not mean that it has to look completely traditional either. So many new styles exist that if you want a modern or contemporary look, it’s not hard to find something that works. You don’t even need to attach the swing to the ceiling in some cases because certain models come with their own suspension frame and even a canopy if you wish.
Director Chairs
You might not think of a director’s chair when it comes to choosing porch furniture, but the folding style is classic, comfortable and best of all…portable. These are easy to relax in and have an iconic style that’s perfect. These chairs have a long history dating back to their debut by the Gold Medal Camp Furniture Company in 1892 winning show at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The ingenious folding style appealed to American directors who started using them on movie sets and then the design made its way to Africa on safaris. Their lightweight and durable canvas sling backs and seats cemented their spot in design and they have since been eternally popular.
Material Choices for Porch Chairs
The material choices for your porch chairs are many, and the one you end up going with should work with your look and your lifestyle. Some materials need regular maintenance while others are more worry-free. Be sure to explore the type of material that is used for your porch chairs to make sure that you’ll be happy with your choice. Here’s a quick primer on the different types of materials:
Wood
Wood is a classic choice for porch furniture and offers lots of options. The issue is often maintenance because while many types are weather-resistant, there may be a certain amount of maintenance involved in keeping the piece looking the way you like it. It if is painted or stained, you’ll have to plan on regularly applying a new coat to protect it and keep it fresh. Of course, all this depends on the type of wood you choose too.
Teak Wood – Teak may be among the more expensive wood choice for your porch chairs, but with good reason. This wood was traditionally used for building boats and its hardness and durability are everything you want in a wood. While it’ll be a lovely rich amber color when it arrives, to keep it that way you’ll have to regularly apply a teak sealer. If you’re not into doing this much work, you can always let it weather to a natural silvery gray. Acacia Wood – This is an abundant, durable type of wood that has a high oil content. This means that it is naturally resistant to moisture, warping, insects and rot….if it is properly sealed. You’ll need to give it a coat of clear protectant each year to maintain these properties. Eucalyptus Wood —Eucalyptus wood is an excellent and cheaper alternative to teak. It is similarly durable and resistant to rot and insects but has the benefit of being more plentiful and having a lower price tag. To keep the lovely wood color, this wood can be cleaned and sealed annually. Otherwise, the porch furniture will naturally turn the same color as teak. Cedar Wood – Another popular choice, cedar is similar to the other woods in that it is naturally resistant to rot, insects and warping. It too needs to be stained or sealed to protect it. It can also be painted but that means committing to scraping and repainting the furniture every couple of years. Ipe Wood – This type of hardwood comes from Latin America and is recognized for its strength and durability. In fact, it’s truly tough as nails because it has been reported to bend or break nails in construction. Ipe is a slow-growing wood and is typically cultivated and not forested. With this wood choice, it’s key to make sure that it is certified to have come from cultivated trees. Shorea – This wood has been popping up in different brands of porch furniture and it offers many of the same features and level of durability as ipe and teak. It too has a high oil content and resists water, rot and insects. Grown in Southeast Asia, Shorea can be rather expensive because is critically endangered and its use and sale are covered by local regulations. Plastic Lumber
If you love the look of wood, but painting, sealing and other maintenance is a deal-breaker, then one of the new types of composite lumber based on recycled plastic may be a good choice. POLYWOOD is a popular brand but there are also others. This wood is made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) derived from recycled plastics, including milk jugs, laundry detergent containers, bottle caps and other post-consumer waste. It has the same look, feel and weight of real wood, but it’ll last far longer with virtually no maintenance.
Metal
If you want something low maintenance, metal porch chairs are your go-to because they do not require the regular maintenance that wood does. They don’t rot and can stand up to all kinds of weather. The only downside to metal can be that can get very hot in direct sunlight.
Aluminum furniture is very popular because it’s durable and cost-effective. The cheapest and most lightweight is tubular aluminum, which is used for folding chairs and portable pieces because it’s hollow. Heavier cast aluminum is more expensive but also rustproof and more durable. Wrought iron pieces are very heavy but also super durable as long as they are powder-coated to protect the metal from moisture. The powder coating on wrought iron furniture can be scratched, so care has to be pair to touch up any chips or scratches. Stainless steel is very popular because it is durable, easy-care and not terribly expensive. Most are powder-coated for longevity and a pleasing appearance. This metal is actually an alloy of steel, chromium, nickel, silicon, aluminum, molybdenum and carbon, with a touch of chromium to help combat rust. It doesn’t require any special care other than washing it off and sealing any nicks or scratches in the powder coating. Wicker
It used to be that wicker was very popular for porch furniture but it required care and attention because it doesn’t stand up to moisture or the elements. Now, however, the advent of synthetic wicker melds the classic look that people want with the easy-care of resin wicker. One of the main things to remember is that the term wicker refers to the process of weaving, not the material used. In general, synthetic wicker is either made of a vinyl polymer called PVC or HDPE, which is High Density Polyethylene. PVC is the same material used for the white pipes you see in the hardware store and is lower cost. Furniture made with PVD wicker can fade, scratch or tear over time. HDPE wicker is stronger and more durable, especially in a tight weave, plus it resists sunlight better. Even more importantly, it is dyed all the way through the material, so the color will stay true.
Plastic
Before you completely write off the option of plastic porch chairs, consider that they are still popular because of their low cost and durability. If you are on a very tight budget or just need extra seating, plastic chairs are a good choice. They’re fairly indestructible, definitely don’t require maintenance beyond a good hosing down and come in lots of colors and styles.
Styles of Porch Chairs
Just as with indoor furniture, outdoor porch furniture come in a range of styles that will fit just about any taste.
Classic style outdoor porch furniture has traditional style and is typically made from wood or powder-coated steel or aluminum, or even wrought iron. The frames have details like vines and twists and the overall look is timeless and often has European flair. Farmhouse or rustic styles of outdoor furniture will largely be made of wood and can sometimes feel rough-hewn. Artisanal types of furniture also fit into this category as do painted pieces that echo the farmhouse aesthetic. Modern and contemporary styles of porch furniture tend to have a cleaner silhouette and fewer details. They will also likely include more types of materials, including metals and resins. Overall, the vibe is more current. Laid Back style is what Adirondack chairs are all about. These types of pieces hold no pretense and are nothing if not relaxed. They can also be more high-end, however, the furniture should have the vibe that anyone could slip into the porch chair and be comfortable. Retro style is back in a big way and the outdoor space is no exception. Metal porch chairs, woven salsa outdoor chairs, and other vintage-style pieces create a retro look that will give any outdoor space a rare flair. Eclectic style is that boho, slightly global look that is super popular. It’s perfect because it’s less about matching sets than creating an easy, relaxed environment that incorporates different styles. An eclectic outdoor space is ideal for those on a budget or just starting out because it’s fine to mix flea market finds with new pieces and upcycled elements.
Here are some of the most common categories and some of the best porch chairs:
