An outdoor bean bag lounger is nothing more than a sealed bag often made of fabric and containing a bean bag filling. It was highly popular during the 1970s, but due to its uncomfortable original design, it fell out of favour in the 1980s. In the late 1990's up until today, this bag is back in fashion and is a hit with all age groups. Update manufacturing techniques, new ergonomic patterns and new colours and fabric choices have contributed to the success of this type of furniture, which can be found in a variety of styles and shapes just like any other outdoor sofa or chair.
Outdoor bean bags available in the market today feature a fun design that allows them to act as comfortable seating and casual décor at the same time. This type of furniture is suitable for most all outdoor spaces and can fit almost any situation. Here are some tips on how to add an outdoor bean bag lounger into your patio décor.
1. Look for more than just round bag models
While a round bean bag is the traditional model, there are also bean-bag chairs, bean-bag ottomans, and bean-bag cubes. A bean-bag chair is perfect for a relaxing corner in a deck or you could add a few bean-bag ottomans to your patio. Mixing up different types of bean bags is a great way to achieve a fun look.
2. Choose bags in complementary colours
Because bean bags are far away from been traditional furniture, you'll want to do everything you can to help them fit in. Instead, you should try to find a bag with colours or patterns that match the style of the space. And for that, there is a variety of shades, colours and patterns for you to choose from.
3. Select the correct size
Nowadays, you can find an outdoor bean bag lounger basically in any size you want – from extra small to jumbo-sized. Consider the size of your outdoor space as a too big bag can make the space feels crowd and vice versa.
4. Keep fabric and texture in mind
Bean bags come in many different textures and fabrics including twill, microsuede, vinyl, etc. Make sure to consider the style of your outdoor space before choosing your bean bag. For example, a luxurious patio might call for a plush microsuede bag while a comfortable deck will look amazing with corduroy or twill bean bags.
