Garden Furniture By Daniel Roshard At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Coming home to a beautiful garden is one of the best ways to enjoy the fruits of your labor. When it is time to spruce up your porch, patio or garden for entertaining, French garden furniture is the perfect complement to fun. With a variety of choices in design from portable to stationery your garden can become the setting for hours of relaxation and enjoyment.

The variety of materials used in French garden furniture designs range from the extremely ornate in solid cast iron to the move-at-a-moment’s notice folding bistro style. Regardless of which design you choose to complement your natural environment, French garden furniture can lift your spirits to new heights of experiencing “joie de vivre”; the joy of life.

And what better way to accompany your beautiful French garden furniture than with authentic French oilcloth fabric covered seating cushions and throw pillows that are as carefree as the summer breeze? In a casual French garden you will find the table covered with this colorful accessory, reminiscent of a grandmother’s laminated kitchen tablecloth.

French garden furniture seating cushions covered with the vibrant, candy colors of French oilcloth depicting flowers and fruits are great for outdoor use. Oilcloth fabric is perfect for throw pillows because it is wrinkle and stain resistant. Although oilcloth is water and fade resistant, these accessories should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods or machine washed.

The term “oilcloth” comes from the fact this material was originally made by applying coats of linseed oil to cotton cloth, making them easy to live with because they wiped clean quickly with warm water and mild soap.

American soldiers returning from Europe after World War II brought with them memories of enjoying the natural landscape and French garden furniture design influenced many of the home gardens during the 1950’s; especially wicker garden furniture designs which reflect the intricate iron coiled “wire” French garden furniture. Another example of the French influence in American homes is the cozy bistro café table covered with colorful oilcloth which became a staple in many kitchens and gardens.
