A beautifully furnished outdoor lounge will become one of your favourite spots in the home. Picture it - sinking into a decadently deep outdoor sofa, a chilled drink on the side table, cooled by the dappled shade of your potted tropical plants. If blissful al fresco lounging moments are calling, CB2 will help you create a sophisticated outdoor seating area with our selection of modern sofas and chairs, coffee tables, and side tables.

Stylish sofas

CB2’s sophisticated outdoor sofas, sectionals, and chairs are handcrafted using durable materials like hardwood, including desirable teak designs that weather to a dreamy silver hue. Rattan outdoor lounge chairs and sofas offer longevity with a serene, natural aesthetic, and there are weather-repellent upholstered pieces in contemporary shades and prints.

To find your ideal outdoor sofa set, consider the size and shape of the area you're furnishing. A slimline two- or three-seater sofa is perfect for a narrow terrace or balcony, or why not place a traditional wooden bench among the lush planting in your garden? An outdoor sectional has become a popular choice, offering comfortable and versatile seating for socialising. Sectionals can make use of empty terraces and patio corners or can be set around a fire pit or coffee table for convivial gatherings.

Contemporary coffee tables

Upgrade your outdoor seating with a coffee table that complements your al fresco interior design. You can match your outdoor coffee table to the frame of your seating or use it as a statement piece that serves as a focal point in your trendy sunset lounge.

A coffee table offers a practical surface to set drinks, grazing platters, phones, and board games, but it can also help set your style tone. CB2's range includes rectangular and circular designs in coveted materials like marble, travertine, cement, and terrazzo, offering clean lines and a fresh, breezy aesthetic.

The perfect side table

Placed to the side of a sofa or accent chair, an outdoor side table makes the perfect spot for your drink, phone, or book. Beyond their elegant functionality, CB2's side tables also help to tell your style story. Explore crisp, geometric lines, feminine curves, and bold silhouettes. In addition to opulent stone, our side table range also includes earthy rattan and lustrous metal.

Even if your lounge has a coffee table, side tables are still a valuable addition. They keep your morning coffee or evening mocktail close at hand, add style interest through their height, and they’re also a great home for outdoor décor, like candles, lanterns, and oil lamps.

FAQs

1. How to plan your outdoor lounge furniture layout?

The size and shape of your outdoor space will help you plan your lounge furniture layout, but you must also consider how you want to use the area. If it will predominantly be for entertaining and socialising, think about L—or U-shaped sectionals or create this pattern with a sofa and chairs.

If your outdoor lounge will be a sanctuary for quiet moments and relaxation, prioritise comfort with deeply cushioned sofas and chaise lounges, and consider hanging pods and love seats in cool, shady enclaves.

2. How to set up outdoor seating?

To maximise space, place your longest outdoor sofa or the longest side of a sectional against the wall of your house or the edge of your lounging area. When styling seating around a coffee table, leave around 60 cm between them for ease of movement. Take into account the flow of your outdoor space - for example, will your seating block the simplest route from the house to the pool or BBQ?

3. What material is used for outdoor seating?

Wood remains a popular choice for outdoor seating, and CB2's range features kiln-dried, sustainably sourced hardwoods that won't warp. You can also explore powder-coated metal and rattan sofas and chairs with water and fade-resistant fabrics across the upholstered designs.

4. How big should your outdoor seating be?

There are no set rules for how big your outdoor seating should be. The better option is to choose beautiful furniture that complements the space you have available – whether that's an accent chair on a balcony or a large sectional on your pergola.

5. How to maintain your outdoor lounge furniture?

To maintain your outdoor furniture, cover it in inclement weather and follow the individual care instructions for each piece. For example, CB2's teak furniture can benefit from oiling annually.
