Outdoor Lounges

Outdoor Lounges

Outdoor lounges for every space: An outdoor lounge is one of the most used pieces of furniture in an Australian home, across every season, not only summer. Lavita Outdoor's range covers outdoor lounge sets, including outdoor corner lounges, outdoor modular lounges, outdoor chaise lounges and outdoor sofas, in aluminium, wicker and performance Sunbrella and Olefin fabrics, so the configuration and the material can be chosen separately to suit your space.

Outdoor corner and modular lounges: An outdoor corner lounge gives you a fixed layout that anchors a space without needing rearranging, well suited to a defined patio or deck corner. An outdoor modular lounge is built from separate pieces you can rearrange or add to as your space or needs change, better suited to an open area where the layout might shift over time. Both are available in a range of sizes across the Lavita Outdoor range.

Outdoor chaise lounges and outdoor sofas: An outdoor chaise lounge adds a longer single section for stretching out fully, either as part of a larger setting or on its own. An outdoor sofa is a single piece, a 2 or 3 seater, suited to a narrower space or to building a setting up over time rather than buying it all at once.

What is the right outdoor lounge setting for your space? Measure the space and the walking paths around it before choosing a configuration, so the setting you choose fits the footprint available rather than overwhelming it or leaving it feeling empty. A smaller setting suits a balcony or a compact courtyard for everyday family use, while a larger modular or corner layout suits a big alfresco area built for entertaining.

Built to handle the Australian climate: An outdoor lounge gets used most days of the week, not just when guests are over, so how it performs day to day matters more than what is on a spec sheet. Most of our outdoor lounges are upholstered in performance fabric such as Sunbrella or solution dyed olefin, which holds its colour through direct Australian sun instead of fading out within a season, and quick dry foam inside the cushion means a sudden downpour does not mean a damp seat for the rest of the week. Near the coast, salt in the air is harder on outdoor furniture than typical inland conditions, so the same fabric and foam combination that dries quickly also resists the mould and mildew that damp, salty air encourages. In the city, a quaint balcony patio setting deserves the same performance as a large one, not a lesser version of it just because the space is smaller.

Find your outdoor lounge in store at Lavita or online: View the full range online or visit our showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or Wollongong to sit in an outdoor lounge before you decide. Our team can help match a configuration and fabric to your space, so your new outdoor furniture is one you are still glad you chose in five years, not just this summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

A modular outdoor lounge is built from separate pieces you can rearrange or add to as your space changes. A corner lounge is a fixed L shaped layout that anchors a space without needing rearranging, and a chaise lounge adds a longer single section for stretching out fully. All 3 work well outdoors, the right one depends on whether you want flexibility, a defined shape, or room to lie down.

A setting that seats around 5 suits most families comfortably for everyday use, while a larger corner or modular lounge gives enough room for entertaining without feeling crowded. Measure the space first so the setting you choose actually fits the footprint available before you commit to a seat count.

A quality outdoor lounge is built to stay outside without one, but a fitted cover still extends its life further by keeping dust, pollen and prolonged direct sun off the fabric between uses. If you want the extra protection, a cover built specifically for your configuration, such as the Urban Tailor range, fits properly rather than flapping loose in wind, which is when a poorly fitted cover can do more harm than good. See our full guide on choosing the right outdoor furniture cover.

Start by measuring the space and marking out a clear walking path before choosing a configuration, then place the lounge zone where afternoon or evening sun actually falls, since that is when most people use it. A corner or L shaped layout works well against a wall or railing, while a modular lounge suits an open space where you want the option to reshape the layout later.

An outdoor lounge usually means a full setting, several seats, an armchair or two and a coffee table built as one coordinated group. An outdoor sofa is a single piece, a 2 or 3 seater on its own, better suited to a narrower space or when you want to build a setting up over time rather than buy it all at once. Both are built the same way underneath, the difference is scale and how the space is used, not durability.

Yes, a quality outdoor lounge is designed to stay outside through every season, not just summer. Aluminium and wicker frames do not need to come in for winter, and performance fabric such as Sunbrella or solution dyed olefin holds its colour and shape through rain and cold as well as it does through heat. The only reason to move a lounge indoors is renovation or storage, not the weather. Protect your investment with an outdoor furniture cover for peace of mind, explore our UrbanTailor range for a perfect fit.

Look for quick dry foam in the cushion core, so a sudden downpour does not leave you with a damp seat for the rest of the week, and a removable, washable cover in a performance fabric such as Sunbrella or solution dyed olefin rather than a fixed cover you cannot clean properly. A denser foam also holds its shape through daily use for longer than a soft, lightweight fill that flattens within a year or two.

A fixed lounge setting is generally the better value starting point, giving you a complete, coordinated setting in one purchase. A modular lounge system costs more upfront but lets you reconfigure or add sections later as your space or needs change, which suits a long term investment better than a fixed layout.
