Creating an oasis in your backyard, porch, patio or balcony is a must when the warm weather arrives. Whether you have a lot of space or have a limited amount of space, the perfect furniture will enhance your outdoors. At storella, we want you to find the right balance between style, comfort, function, with options that are affordable. With this in mind, we think a high quality sectional sofa will do just that – give you hours of enjoyment and create a beautiful space for entertaining and spending quality time with friends and family. To get started, let’s look at some practical considerations before you splurge and buy.
Practical Considerations to Keep in Mind First
The first thing is seating capacity and dimensions when looking for a new sectional sofa. Buy in-person. Although online ordering is easy to do, returns may be a hassle. Shopping in person gives you the opportunity to test-out a new sofa first to see if it meets your comfort quotient. Testing out a sectional or sofa will boost your confidence because you are investing in furniture you want to last, and enjoy. There are three different configuration options: U shape, L shape and Chaise. To simplify your life, we’ve rounded up our top three (3) picks. We hope you find something that suits your outdoor space, budget and style!
1. Viah Patio Conversation Set ($)
This is a super affordable set and designed for smaller spaces. It is well-priced as of this article, and it comes with modular pieces. What’s more, you can easily add pieces to it. Right out of the gate, it offers wonderful storage solutions for your garden or furniture accessories. No assembly is required which in our opinion is a big plus. It is sturdy and made of rust resistent reinforces steel frame with all weather woven wicker. It should be able to withstand rain, sun, and harsh weather. The cushions are fade resistent.

2. The Stratford Recycled Plastic Sectional Sofa ($$$)
This is an eco-friendly, fun and good for the planet set. C.R. Plastics is a leader in “sustainable outdoor living.” They use 100% recycled plastic in their furniture and are at the forefront of developing new and innovative ways to create sustainable, eco-friendly, and beautiful outdoor furniture. In addition, the Stratford comes with modular deep seating. Flanked on either side of the sectional are side tables and a coffee table that offer storage for your magazines, trays, and other garden accessories. If you need more storage solutions, there are other options too.
Equally important, recycled plastic will last a very long time. You can leave your furniture outside all year round. With this said, be prepared to spend a little more for one of these sectional sofas. At Storella, we believe in intentional and mindful spending, and this one is worth the splurge. You won’t regret this financial decision.

3. Canvas Moraine Wicker 5 Piece Sectional Patio Set ($$)
We featured this sectional sofa in 2023, and we’re back again in 2024 recommending it because of it’s stunning design and practicality. It’s ideal for medium to larger spaces. The construction is durable, functional, modular and practical. With this said, the side table will double up as storage and can easily convert into a table. There is a built-in cord pass through underneath the seat. This makes it easy to plug in items without unsightly cords taking up space. It is available at your local Canadian Tire store.
