Living outdoors with European Luxury Furniture
When it comes to outdoor luxury living that’s contemporary and sophisticated, European design tends to lead the way. In the light of recent global events that have forced us all to become more in tune with our own spaces, outdoor living has become a new obsession for homeowners all over and interest in outdoor furniture is only expected to grow.
Luxury outdoor furniture is designed to provide stylish, comfortable seating for patios, gardens and decks. When selecting outdoor furniture, it is important to consider the materials used, durability and design aesthetics. Popular materials used in high-end outdoor furniture include strong powder-coated aluminium, synthetic rope, resin wicker and a wide range of technically advanced materials. Teak is a popular choice because of its durability and natural beauty, though it does require maintenance to remain looking good.
Ultimately, selecting luxury outdoor furniture is about finding a balance between style and functionality and investing in high-quality pieces that will last for years to come. Intirium can help guide you to brands and collections you may not have considered; we can edit the list for you because there are literally hundreds of European brands producing impressive collections including Dedon & Kettal. The Italians are great designers but some of the best outdoor luxury furniture brands come from Belgium (eg Manutti, Tribu & Royal Bottania) and at Intirium, we offer highly competitive prices.

Outdoor Sofas
Outdoor sofas are a significant part of any outdoor living space. Make sure the size of the sofa is appropriate for your designated space and the number of people who will be using it. Modular or sectional outdoor sofas can be a good option for larger spaces as they can be configured in a variety of ways to suit different needs.
Additional features and accessories may include colourful cushions, pillows, and covers. Cushions and pillows can provide additional comfort and style, while covers can protect the sofa from the elements and extend its lifespan.
Overall, when choosing any item of furniture, it is important to consider both style and functionality, investing in a high-quality piece that will provide comfort and durability for many years to come.
Outdoor Tables
Outdoor dining tables come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, materials, and styles designed to enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor living space. Popular materials include wood, glass, composite and stone.
Wooden outdoor dining tables are a classic choice that can be stained. They are also durable and can withstand the elements but will require more maintenance to keep them looking their best. Glass is a sleek, contemporary choice; stone and composite may be the most practical.
When choosing an outdoor dining table, consider whether it will remain outside all the year round and the number of people you will be hosting. Look for tables that are sturdy, durable and weather-resistant to ensure they will stand up to the elements and provide you with years of enjoyable entertaining…
Outdoor Chairs
Choosing the right outdoor dining chairs may require a little more thought, there are so many options to choose from: Perhaps you want comfortable armchair style dining chairs for more elegant entertaining or you may prefer lightweight stacking chairs for family gatherings or big BBQ parties.
