How to choose the perfect lounge set
When the weather warms up in Malta, your outdoor space becomes an extension of your home. A well-chosen lounge set transforms your garden, terrace, or balcony into a place to unwind, entertain, and enjoy long summer evenings.
But with so many options available, how do you choose the right one? This guide walks you through the key considerations, so you can find a lounge set that fits your space, style, and lifestyle perfectly.
1. What will you use your lounge set for?
Before choosing a design, think about how you plan to use your outdoor space.
Are you creating a cosy corner to relax in after work? Or do you need a larger setup for hosting friends and family?
A compact option like the LILLESTROEM lounge set (4 persons) in black or dark sand is ideal for smaller terraces or balconies, offering a simple and stylish solution without overwhelming the space.
If entertaining is your priority, larger sets such as the STROEMSTAD lounge set (6 persons, black) provide ample seating for social gatherings and outdoor dining.
For a balance between comfort and versatility, mid-sized options like the HOLMESTRAND lounge set (5 persons, available in beige or grey) work well in most garden layouts.
2. Choose the right size for your space
Your lounge set should complement your outdoor area, not overcrowd it.
Start by measuring your space carefully and consider how much room you need for movement around the furniture.
- • Small spaces: Opt for compact designs like the ODDESUND lounge set (4.5 persons, grey) or BEJSTRUP lounge set (4 persons, grey), which maximise seating with out taking up too much room.
- • Medium spaces: Sets like TEGLUM (4.5 persons) in beige or olive green or LILLESTROEM (4 persons) in black or dark sand provide comfort while maintaining an open feel.
- • Large spaces: Go for statement pieces like VONGE (5 or 6 persons, black)or SIRDAL (5 persons, dark grey) to fully utilise the area.
Choosing the right size ensures your outdoor space remains both functional and inviting.
3. Materials and maintenance
Outdoor furniture needs to withstand sun, wind, and occasional rain, especially in coastal environments like Malta.
JYSK lounge sets are made from durable materials such as aluminium, steel, and poly rattan, designed for long-lasting outdoor use with minimal upkeep.
- • Low maintenance: Poly rattan and metal frames (like in STROEMSTAD or VONGE) are easy to clean and weather-resistant.
- • Comfort-focused: Sets with cushions, such as SIRDAL (5 persons, dark grey) or TEGLUM (4.5 persons), offer a softer lounging experience.
- • Balanced durability: Options like HOLMESTRAND (5 persons) combine sturdy construction with a timeless look.
If you prefer spending time relaxing rather than maintaining furniture, choose materials that require minimal care.
4. Style and design
Your lounge set should reflect your personal style and complement your outdoor surroundings.
Neutral tones such as black, grey, and beige dominate the JYSK Malta range, making it easy to match with accessories like cushions, rugs, and lighting.
• Modern look: Black sets like LILLESTROEM or VONGE create a sleek, contemporary feel.
- • Natural vibe: Beige tones in HOLMESTRAND or olive tones in TEGLUM bring warmth and a relaxed, Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic.
- • Minimalist elegance: Grey options like ODDESUND or BEJSTRUP offer a clean and versatile base.
Think of your lounge set as the foundation of your outdoor “living room.”
5. Comfort and functionality
Comfort is key when choosing a lounge set, you want a space where you can truly relax.
Look for features such as:
- • Deep seating and supportive cushions
- • Practical table space for drinks and snacks
- • Flexible layouts for different occasions
For example, the STOVNER lounge set (5 persons, beige) includes a 3-seater sofa, two chairs, and a table, offering both comfort and functionality in one coordinated design.
Similarly, modular or multi-piece sets like SIRDAL or VONGE allow you to adapt the layout depending on your needs.
6. Create your perfect outdoor space
Once you’ve chosen your lounge set, complete the look with accessories that enhance comfort and atmosphere.
Add outdoor cushions, rugs, lanterns, or plants to personalise your space and make it feel like a natural extension of your home.
Whether you prefer a compact balcony setup or a spacious garden lounge, the right combination of furniture will turn your outdoor area into your favourite place to relax.
