Convenient high-quality IKEA garden furniture will help you to sit comfortably and have a good time on the balcony, veranda, terrace, in the courtyard of a private house or in the country. In the article, we will talk about accessories and different types of furniture of this brand, intended for outdoor use.

Advantages and disadvantages

IKEA furniture is a good choice for organizing an outdoor recreation area. The famous Swedish brand over the long years of its existence (since 1943) has done everything to make the product inexpensive and popular, because it is intended for the mass consumer.

Reducing the cost of products is not at the expense of quality. The company has rationally thought out logistics, disassembled products are packed in flat, easily transported boxes. It is proposed to assemble furniture by the buyers themselves, which also affects the loyalty of the price. The simplicity of the models and detailed instructions allow you to assemble tables, chairs, benches, armchairs and sofas without much difficulty, which even teenagers can do.

Designer products are also inexpensive because they are made from recycled materials, which the company has never hidden.

However, not all of the brand's furniture is as cheap as possible, the cost depends on the configuration and the material used - for example, forging and natural eucalyptus are used in expensive series. The advantage in this case is the ability to provide a selection of products for different customer requests. There are other positive aspects as well.

  • A large assortment allows you to match furniture to the style of your yard or garden.
  • Low price does not affect good quality.
  • It's nice that when going to the IKEA store for garden furniture, you can buy other necessary things for outdoor recreation - covers, pillows, blankets, an awning or an umbrella from the sun, country dishes.
  • Furniture is easy to assemble, no need to call a specialist.
  • Different types of materials are used in production. For verandas and covered areas, you can purchase wood products. Artificial rattan and plastic tolerate rainfall well; it is permissible to leave them outside during the whole warm season.
  • IKEA furniture is always in trend, as the company renews a third of its products every year. When purchasing garden furniture, you can be sure of its modernity and relevance.

Now let's talk about the cons.

  • After the crisis, the products of the Swedish brand have grown in price.
  • Confused by the excessive simplicity and recognition. Sometimes you even want to install furniture with a twist in the yard.
  • Standard garden sets from IKEA are distinguished by their scale, since sofas and dining groups are designed for outdoor space. For a small gazebo or terrace, you will have to combine the furnishings from separate pieces of furniture.

Dining groups

The company provides a wide selection of dining tables, chairs, stools and armchairs. They can be purchased as a set or purchased separately and create a dining group to your liking. The products are manufactured in series, which allows you to collect the entire interior for a patio, gazebo or veranda in one style.

Wooden products look noble, but they require some care.

Tables and chairs made of artificial materials are well tolerated in various weather conditions.

"Applaro"

For connoisseurs of natural materials, we suggest paying attention to the Eplaro series of furniture in pleasant brown shades. The set includes a folding table made of wooden slats and the same design of an armchair.

The sides of the table can be folded or detached from the overall structure to achieve the desired size. There is an opening for a sun umbrella in the center of the tabletop. The wood is treated with several layers of stain, which protects the products from destruction.

The backrest can be adjusted in five positions. By the way, unregulated types of chairs or benches of the same series can be matched to the table. The furniture set is complemented by pillows.

"Askholmen"

Wooden furniture of light gray-brown shades is not as massive as "Eplaro", it looks more elegant and simpler. It can fit in a small gazebo and even on a loggia. Lunch groups are presented in several options.

  • Table (112x62x73 cm) and four chairs (87x49x36) fully foldable, does not take up much space during storage. Pillows are not included, purchased separately.
  • A set of a small table and two chairs can even nestle on a balcony or porch. The kit is easy to fold and carry.

Schelland

Severe and at the same time elegant furniture of the Schelland series in noble gray color has several options.

  • The products are made of heat-resistant aluminum with a polyester powder coating. The table is complemented by six chairs. They can be stacked on top of each other for storage. There is a hole in the center of the table for a sun umbrella.
  • The dining group is made from the same materials as the previous set, but the set includes two chairs and a three-seater bench.

Outdoor upholstered furniture

IKEA upholstered furniture is also presented in many series. You can buy it as a headset or assemble an outdoor interior from different products. Most often, chairs, benches, sofas have a solid base. IKEA stores offer a large selection of mattresses and pillows that will help make soft furniture out of hard furniture.

Solleron

The wickerwork in this series is made of rattan-style plastic. They have gray, beige, brown shades. Corner modular three-seater sofa can be disassembled into sections and built in any position at the request of the owner. There is a spacious storage compartment under the seat. The sofa is equipped with cushions, the covers of which are non-slip and water repellent.

Chairs and wide soft stools with a storage box are presented in the Solleron series of the same material (plastic under rattan).

"Applaro"

The Eplaro series produces not only the dining room, but also upholstered furniture. Traditionally it has a rigid wood base, softened by removable cushions.

The garden transport bench is especially popular, all planes of which are made of wooden planks. Equipped with a pair of wheels and a handle, it is easy to transport the product around the garden.

The model contains a spacious box where you can hide pillows, blankets or garden tools.

Modular sofas "Eplaro" are assembled from corner and ordinary armchairs into 2-3-4-seater upholstered furniture, which can line up in one line or at an angle.

"Bondholmen"

Light refined furniture, devoid of any excesses, is simple and understandable.

  • On a two-seater sofa, you can comfortably relax in the fresh air.
  • The armchairs are made in the same design. They are easy to stack on top of each other and do not take up much storage space. Chair cushions are purchased separately, in the same place, in IKEA stores.

Brusen

Steel furniture of the Brusen series is painted in a bright red color. The series is represented by a two-seater sofa and a stool. The most refined models seem fragile, but in fact they are reliable and strong. The stool is made in the shape of a semicircle. If you combine the two products, you get a spacious oval seat. Furniture "Brusen" will become warmer and more comfortable if it is supplemented with colored soft pillows.

Accessories and protection

The IKEA company produces garden sofas, armchairs, benches, chairs and stools without soft fillers. This is understandable, because the furniture is intended for the street. Pillows and mattresses for such products should be removable. At night or from bad weather, they are hidden in internal boxes, brought into the house.

Not all furniture sets come with pillows, but they can always be purchased at IKEA stores. The company has developed soft accessories in accordance with the sizes of all collections. Not a single sofa (chair or armchair) was left without attention.

The brand's pillows and mattresses in most cases have removable covers. They can be removed for washing or exchanged for other, for example, brighter options, to update the decor.

Accessories for sofas and armchairs are made of durable water-repellent fabric with a non-slip effect. The choice of color and print will help to match them to any stylized setting.

For outdoor furniture, you can purchase:

  • from the "Kuddarna" series - quilted mattresses and pillows for chaise lounges, chairs, armchairs and stools;
  • in the series "Yerpon", "Duvholmen" produce pillows and a polyester soft product for covering the back and seat with a water-repellent sheepskin cover.

In addition to mattresses and pillows, you can complement the outdoor seating area with other street textiles from IKEA - blankets, rugs, lint-free carpets. They are made from warm and soft fabrics that work well for outdoor use.

Review overview

Despite the worldwide popularity of the IKEA brand, reviews of their products are extremely controversial. Someone likes brevity, simplicity and lack of originality, someone considers garden furniture too simplistic, created only for summer cottages.

Not so long ago, IKEA stores offered high-quality outdoor furniture at a low price.

The dissatisfaction of today's buyers is related to the rise in prices for all the same simple products.

Furniture made of wood hibernates well outside, and tables made of artificial rattan in frosts are recommended to be brought indoors. Pillows and mattresses should also be cleaned periodically, there are complaints about the fading of textiles in the sun.
