But choosing the right outdoor furniture can be a challenge. There are quite a few things to consider!<\/em><\/h3>\n<p>The idea of designing outdoor furniture came from our own need. We could not find functional outdoor furniture made in Estonia that would withstand our changeable weather and be as soft and comfortable as a living room sofa. So we decided to design it ourselves. After several years of testing in snow and rain, our studio completed the modular <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270-ottoman\/\">MOOD outdoor sofa<\/a><\/strong>. Our outdoor furniture offers versatile seating for your terrace or garden. The range includes a corner module, a seat module and an ottoman, which let you create different sets \u2013 from two-seater sofas to interesting corner lounge combinations. <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270\/\"><strong>MOOD outdoor furniture<\/strong><\/a> modules are easy to connect with special hidden clips, ensuring both stability and flexibility.<\/p>\n<h3><b>Here are some tips to help you find the right outdoor furniture:<\/b><\/h3>\n<h3>1. Pay attention to the materials used<\/h3>\n<p>Outdoor furniture must be durable and weather-resistant to withstand sun, rain and wind all year round. Choose garden furniture with a frame made of durable materials such as aluminium, stainless steel or weather-resistant wood. For upholstered outdoor furniture, make sure the foam and fabric are suitable for outdoor conditions.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270-ottoman\/\"><strong>MOOD outdoor furniture<\/strong><\/a> is made with a special open-cell foam designed for outdoor use and weather-resistant plywood. While ordinary foam soaks up water, the open-cell foam used in <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270-ottoman\/\"><strong>MOOD<\/strong><\/a> lets water drain straight through. The legs are made of bent metal that is galvanised and powder-coated to protect it from rust.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-143841\" src=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-1186x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1186\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-1186x667.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Mood-Outdoor-ocean-grey-2169-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1186px) 100vw, 1186px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>2. Find a comfortable and functional outdoor sofa<\/h3>\n<p>Comfort and functionality should be the most important things to look for in garden furniture. A common problem with beautiful outdoor furniture is that it is uncomfortable. Or the opposite \u2013 the furniture is comfortable, but heavy to lift or simply not suited to our changeable climate. Good outdoor furniture strikes a balance between comfort and function.<\/p>\n<p>Despite its strict, minimalist form, <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-180\/\"><strong>MOOD<\/strong><\/a> is a very soft and comfortable place to sit. When more guests are coming to a barbecue, it is much nicer to talk facing each other than sitting side by side in a row. In that case you can separate the modules and turn one sofa into two, or use the modules as individual armchairs. The modules are also very light, so they are easy to move when needed. You can even place the <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270-ottoman\/\"><strong>MOOD outdoor sofa<\/strong><\/a> on the lawn, as its legs are designed not to sink into the ground.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-143838\" src=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1186\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-1186x667.jpg 1186w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-2048x1152.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-Oot-oot-Stuudio-Terrassimoobel-Mood-16-9-1-scaled-1400x788.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1186px) 100vw, 1186px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>3. Think about your needs and layout<\/h3>\n<p>Before choosing outdoor furniture, measure your terrace or outdoor area and think about how you want to arrange the furniture. We recommend marking out the dimensions of the new sofa with tape before buying, to make sure it suits the proportions of the space and does not feel cramped.<\/p>\n<p>Our functional modular sofa has three types of modules: a corner module, a seat module and an ottoman. All modules measure 90 \u00d7 90 cm and can be combined into flexible sets \u2013 from a small two-seater sofa to interesting corner lounge solutions. The modules connect with special clips hidden underneath.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-138295\" src=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Terrassim\u00f6\u00f6bel-MOOD-v\u00e4ljas-5Oot-Oot-Stuudio-169v-1186x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1186\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Check that the fabric suits outdoor use and is easy to clean<\/h3>\n<p>It is very important that outdoor furniture is easy to care for and durable, especially in our climate. Every material needs some kind of care, whether that means regular cleaning or using a cover. Look for fabric that is water- and sun-resistant, and avoid heavily textured fabrics for garden furniture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-180\/\"><b>MOOD<\/b><\/a> is upholstered in a water- and UV-resistant fabric chosen specifically for outdoor use. UV protection keeps the fabric from fading quickly, and the right treatment makes cleaning easy and protects the fabric from dirt. Like the foam, the fabric lets water through very well, so you do not need to bring the furniture under cover when it rains \u2013 the sofa dries quickly. We also offer <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/outdoor-sofa-cover\/\"><strong>covers<\/strong><\/a> made specifically for our outdoor furniture, so it can be stored outdoors all year round.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-138307\" src=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/Terrassim\u00f6\u00f6bel-MOOD-v\u00e4ljas3-Oot-Oot-Stuudio-169v-1186x667.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1186\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>5. Consider storage space<\/h3>\n<p>If you have limited storage space, choose folding or stackable furniture that takes up less room when not in use. Also consider portable pieces or accessories that let you adapt your terrace as needed. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/product\/mood-outdoor-sofa-270-ottoman\/\"><strong>MOOD garden furniture<\/strong><\/a> is designed to be stored outdoors all year round, so you do not have to bring it inside every time it rains.<\/p>\n<p>See MOOD outdoor furniture in our showroom at <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/contact\/\"><strong>Staapli 10, Noblessner, Tallinn.<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nBrowse our full range in our <a href=\"https:\/\/oot-oot.com\/en\/products\/\"><strong>ONLINE SHOP<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5><em><b>Furniture designed and made in Estonia<\/b><\/em><\/h5>\n<p><em>OOT-OOT Studio is a furniture design studio founded by designers Marko Ala and Joonas Torim, focusing on upholstered furniture and beds.
