At Style My Home, practicality is always at the heart of our product curation. While beauty and timelessness are essential to our Hamptons aesthetic, we believe furniture should be just as functional and durable—especially when it lives outdoors. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our new range of low maintenance Aoutdoor furniture. These PVC planter boxes and Poly timber adirondack classics bring all the charm of traditional Hamptons outdoor style—without the upkeep.

Why Practicality Matters in Outdoor Living

Our sourcing journey always begins with this question: “Will this make life easier for our customers?”

From stain-resistant rugs to durable dining tables, we constantly strive to find life-friendly solutions that still offer elegance and sophistication. Outdoor furniture, in particular, can be a challenge in the Australian climate. Harsh sun, rain, and humidity can wreak havoc on traditional timber pieces.

We’ve heard from countless customers frustrated by the maintenance required to keep classic outdoor furniture looking good. Paint blistering, timber rot, and water stains are common complaints—especially with traditional wooden Adirondack chairs and planter boxes.

Enter: Adirondack Chairs Made from Poly Timber

The Adirondack chair is a true Hamptons icon, known for its wide armrests, tall slatted back, and relaxed silhouette. It's as stylish as it is comfortable—perfect for lounging on the deck, under a pergola, or by the pool.

Traditionally crafted from painted timber, these chairs looked beautiful but required frequent repainting and protection from the elements.

That’s why our new poly timber Adirondack chairs are such a game-changer.

Why You'll Love Them:

  • Made from weather-resistant poly timber—a durable, high-density plastic that mimics real wood

  • Fade-resistant, rust-proof, and rain-safe

  • Available in crisp white—perfect for Hamptons-inspired gardens and patios

  • Optional matching footrest and side table

  • Designed for full outdoor exposure—no need to move them indoors or repaint them

They look stunning beside the pool, in a courtyard, or on a sunny verandah—and they’ll stay that way for years to come.

Hamptons-Style Planter Boxes – Now in PVC

Nothing creates a warm welcome like a beautiful planter box and pet at your front entrance.

Whether flanking the front door, lining a porch, or defining an alfresco space, planter boxes are a signature feature of Hamptons homes. But wooden ones require constant TLC—especially when exposed to sun and rain.

That’s why our new PVC planter boxes are a customer favourite. They offer the same timeless tongue-and-groove panel look—but with far greater durability.
