ArchiPro is the place for the best outdoor stools in Australia, handpicked from the most reputable suppliers in the country. There are plenty of options to choose from, depending on what you need for your outdoor space. For those who host frequent get-togethers, the flat surface of coffee table ottomans is perfect.

No matter the preference, outdoor stools are dynamic pieces of patio furniture that are extremely versatile all year round.

Outdoor stools are the perfect complement to any sofa or outdoor lounge set. They’re multi-purpose, providing space for decorations and drinks, or as a footrest or ottoman for extra seating. Variations like storage ottomans can enhance the storage capacity of your outdoor space, while outdoor poufs provide an attractive visual element. ArchiPro features a great range of outdoor stools from some of the most trusted suppliers in Australia.

Storage ottoman

Storage ottomans are the way to go for most homeowners. Featuring a lid or drawer, you can tidily tuck away any outdoor companion, like books and blankets. Outdoor ottomans and poufs can provide flexible seating or a place to rest your feet without taking up much room.

Glider ottoman

These ottoman footstools can rock back and forth, making them a comfortable addition to any outdoor seating. We suggest pairing it with a rocking chair. Exterior bar stools should be made from finishes that can withstand the conditions of their location.

Tufted ottoman

Tufted ottomans can double as a mini seat. They’re generally made of soft, cushioned material, so keep in mind their longevity outdoors. Outdoor plastic stools are generally lightweight and easy to move between seating areas.

Ottoman coffee table

Ottoman coffee tables are low garden stools where you can place drinks. When you’re not hosting, place a plant pot on top for an enticing visual element.

The advantages of high-quality outdoor stools

Although they tend to be one of the more understated items of outdoor furniture, outdoor stools will level up the functionality and style of your patio or deck space. High-quality outdoor stools are multi-functional serving many needs, whether that’s extra storage space or a place to rest your feet after a long day. The best upholsteries take into consideration the outdoor environment while presenting a stylish addition. Tufted ottomans, for example, are a brilliant way to add texture to a space. Leather alternatives are also great and provide good durability. Metal bar stools can suit contemporary patios, provided their finish is appropriate for outdoor use.

How to choose outdoor stools that are right for you

The world’s your oyster when it comes to outdoor stools. You can choose a standard outdoor stool and simply change how you use it depending on your current needs whether that’s as a plant stand or a footrest. Ottomans can generally hold up to 90-135 kg, so if you’re intending on using them as an extra seat, double-check the manufacturer’s label. Most importantly, the outdoor stool should harmonise with the rest of your outdoor furniture to prevent it from appearing too disjointed. A white bar stool can keep a small entertaining area feeling light, while darker finishes tend to sit more quietly against planting and paving.

How large are low outdoor stools?

In Australia, the smallest outdoor stools are typically 43 x 40 cm. If you’re intending on using your outdoor stool as a mini table, you’ll want to size up to a rectangular ottoman, roughly 75 x 140 cm. Low outdoor stools are shorter than common ottomans so you can comfortably reach them from a sitting-down position.

What is the standard height of common outdoor ottomans?

Ottomans are available in an array of shapes, sizes, and heights. On average, outdoor ottomans are between 33 and 56 cm tall. When ottomans are used as a side table, they should be tall enough to meet the height of the sofa. As outdoor footstools, they should reach approximately half the sofa’s height.

What is the best material for outdoor stools?

The best material for outdoor stools is whatever fits in with the rest of your furniture. Wicker is incredibly popular in Australia, although others prefer a tufted fabric to add a textural element. If you intend to leave your stool outside all the time, try to pick a material that is weather-resistant, including those with aluminium frames.

Can I leave my garden stool outside during the colder months?

You can leave your garden stool outside during the winter. However, because the colder months are associated with wetter climates, you’ll want to take precautions to prevent any unnecessary damage. This may include protective sealants and fabric furniture covers. If you leave your stool as it is, its lifespan will be much shorter.
