Choosing the Best Patio Furniture for Your Okanagan Home

There’s something magical about Okanagan living. Whether it’s lakeside sunsets, vineyard views, or warm summer evenings spent with friends, your outdoor space deserves just as much care and attention as your indoor one. 

At Treehouse Interiors in Kelowna, we believe that great patio furniture should not only reflect your lifestyle but elevate it.

So, how do you choose the right patio furniture for your Okanagan home? Here’s our expert guide to making outdoor living both beautiful and functional.

Consider Your Outdoor Lifestyle

Start by asking how you use—or want to use—your patio. Do you host large summer dinners? Is it your morning coffee nook? Do you want a lounge space for reading or relaxing with a glass of local wine?

Your answers will help determine whether you need a full dining set, a cozy sectional, chaise lounges, or versatile modular seating. At Treehouse Interiors, we can help you tailor the right layout to match your lifestyle.

Choose Materials That Stand Up to the Okanagan Climate

The Okanagan offers sunny skies, low humidity, and hot summers—which means your furniture should be both UV-resistant and durable.

Top-performing materials for our region include:

• High-performance fabrics: Look for UV- and mildew-resistant cushions like Sunbrella® for year-round comfort.

• Powder-coated aluminum: Lightweight, rust-resistant, and sleek.

• Teak or eucalyptus wood: Naturally weather-resistant and timeless.

• All-weather wicker: Offers that cozy, woven look without fading or cracking.

Prioritize Comfort Without Sacrificing Style

Outdoor comfort is just as important as indoor, especially when it comes to deep seating, cushion quality, and ergonomics.

Look for:

• Supportive but plush cushions
• Thoughtful proportions (especially if you’re tall or like to lounge)
• Adjustable loungers or modular pieces that adapt to your needs

Treehouse Interiors offers curated collections that balance elegance with comfort, so you never have to settle for basic or boring.

Match the Aesthetic of Your Home & Landscape

Your patio should feel like a natural extension of your home. Whether your style leans modern, rustic, coastal, or something in between, choose finishes and designs that flow from indoors to out.

In the Okanagan, we see a lot of natural tones, organic textures, and Mediterranean-inspired palettes that blend beautifully with lake views and vineyard backdrops.

Think About Storage & Off-Season Use

While many outdoor pieces are built to last, winter storage can extend their lifespan and keep them looking pristine. If you don’t have covered space or a storage shed, opt for stackable chairs, foldable tables, or sets that come with custom-fit covers.

Bonus tip: Many of our clients at Treehouse Interiors invest in indoor-outdoor pieces that transition seamlessly from patio to sunroom or great room during colder months.
