How Do You Refresh Outdoor Iron Furniture?

Outdoor iron furniture has a timeless look, but it can quickly become stained, rusted and dull. Refreshing outdoor iron furniture is a great way to make your patio or balcony feel like new again without having to buy new furniture.

The process of refreshing outdoor iron furniture involves cleaning and painting the metal, as well as replacing cushions and fabric if needed.

Cleaning

The first step in refreshing outdoor iron furniture is to clean the metal. Start by using soap and water to remove dirt and dust from the surface.

If there are any areas with rust spots, use steel wool or a wire brush to scrub them away. Once the entire piece is clean and dry, you can apply a primer specifically designed for metal surfaces. This will help protect the metal from further damage.

Painting

Once the primer has been applied, it’s time to paint your outdoor iron furniture. Start by selecting a paint that’s specifically designed for use on metal surfaces and make sure it’s suitable for outdoor use as well.

Choose a color that will complement your other outdoor furnishings and coordinate with your home’s exterior palette. When applying the paint, use light coats rather than one heavy coat; this will help ensure an even finish.

Replacing Cushions

If you have any cushions on your outdoor iron furniture that have seen better days, now is the time to replace them. Choose fabric that’s designed for outdoors such as Sunbrella or another weather-resistant material in colors that coordinate with your new paint job.

Conclusion:

Refreshing outdoor iron furniture is an easy way to give your backyard or patio space an updated look without having to buy new pieces. To refresh your iron furniture start by cleaning it with soap and water then apply primer before painting it in a color of your choice. You may also need to replace any worn cushions with fabric specifically designed for outdoors.
