Patio Rocking Chairs

Outdoor

Comfortable and with a dynamic twist, patio rocking chairs are the special ingredient that you were looking for in order to create a cozy and friendly atmosphere outside.

They're ideal both to relax on your own or catch up with a friend or two. Plus, because they aren't the most obvious chair choice, they're bound to impress your guests and result in a beautiful decorative statement.

Patio rocking chairs are available in a large variety of styles and designs, but don't forget to keep these things in mind before selecting one.

First of all, you must figure out whether or not they're going to be exposed to the elements. If so, metal models like aluminum or wrought iron that are either cushion-less or feature removable ones are the safest choice.

Wood is a more delicate material in outdoor settings but you can always look for treated models, as long as you don't mind performing some regular maintenance.

Plastic is a cheaper alternative that, while it might not be as durable, is also water-resistant, or you can choose breathable rattan models to keep it casual.

If your outdoor rocking chair will be under a roof, you can easily go with more traditional wood and cushioned options.

You should also try and maintain the style of your patio consistent: you can do so by using the same materials whenever possible or sticking to your existing color palette.

Finally, decide how many rocking chairs you want (is it going to be just for yourself or are you going to regret not getting a matching set?) and don't forget to measure them.

Looking just like the classic rocking chairs that you see indoors, the slatted design of this wooden model is iconic and timeless. Don’t panic, though: this wood is fully treated to withstand the elements, so you don’t have to worry about direct sunlight and rain as long as you care for it properly.

Fade-, weather- and UV-resistant, this patio rocking chair consists of an elegant powder-coated steel frame full of harmonious details. We think it would be ideal in more traditional or vintage settings, but don’t forget that you can always add cushions in your favorite colors to match your patio’s palette or add a more contemporary feel.

This patio rocking chair blends a sophisticated and casual vibe. Boasting a stunning hand-woven resin wicker design and UV-resistant polyester upholstery in neutral grey, it’ll be a conscious decorative statement on your patio. There’s just one problem: the cushions look so comfy that you’ll never want to get up again!

Whether you want to use it with its vibrant cushions or, occasionally, without them, this versatile rocking chair is guaranteed to stand out on your patio. It follows a contemporary minimalist design that emphasizes the aesthetically pleasing lines of its resin wicker frame (which, by the way, it’s 100% weather-resistant!).

This stylish chair is available in either a lighter-colored frame with darker cushions or vice versa, but both models are versatile and modern with a nostalgic touch. The cushions can easily be machine washed, too. However, because the precious acacia wood of its frame isn’t treated, we only recommend it in dry climates and under a sheltered patio roof.
