If you live in Dubai, you already know—outdoor living isn’t just an occasional thing, it’s a way of life. Whether it’s weekend BBQs, poolside afternoons, or just unwinding with a coffee on your terrace, your outdoor space is an extension of your home.
But here’s the challenge: Dubai’s heat, humidity, and sand can be brutal on furniture. If you’ve ever bought a cheap outdoor set, you’ve probably seen it happen—fabrics fading within months, seats flaking, cushions going lumpy, metal frames rusting way too fast.
That’s why investing in the right pieces isn’t just about style—it’s about choosing furniture that lasts.
At Maze, we’ve spent years perfecting outdoor furniture specifically for this climate. We know what works, what doesn’t, and what actually makes a difference when it comes to creating a space that’s beautiful, comfortable, and built to handle the Dubai sun.
So if you’re planning to upgrade your outdoor setup, here’s what you need to know.
What to Look for in Outdoor Furniture (That Actually Lasts in Dubai)
1. Fabrics That Won’t Fade or Overheat
Standard fabrics? They won’t survive here. Sun exposure alone can turn a brand-new cushion into something dull and lifeless in a matter of months. Our solution? UV-resistant, quick-dry fabrics that stay cool to the touch and keep their colour year after year.
2. Rust-Proof, Lightweight Frames
Humidity is another silent killer—especially for metal furniture. Cheap frames will rust, leaving stains on your patio and weakening the structure. That’s why we only use powder-coated aluminium. It’s lightweight (easy to move around) and completely rust-proof.
3. Cushions That Dry Fast (Even After a Pool Splash)
If you’re setting up near a pool or anywhere with humidity, standard cushions just don’t cut it. The foam inside holds onto water, leading to musty smells and soggy seating. Our quick-dry cushions are designed to drain water fast, meaning they stay fresh and dry, no matter what.
How to Design an Outdoor Space That Feels Luxurious
Now that you know what to look for, let’s talk about how to actually create an outdoor space you’ll love spending time in.
1. Lounge in Style: The Right Sofa Setup
Outdoor seating isn’t just about looks—it needs to be seriously comfortable. Think deep seats, plush cushions, and a setup that makes you want to stay outside for hours.
✔ Large spaces? A modular sofa lets you change up the layout depending on your needs.
✔ Smaller terrace? A sleek two-seater with armchairs can make it feel cosy without looking cramped.
2. Dining Under the Stars
There’s something special about eating outdoors—whether it’s a casual breakfast in the morning sun or a long dinner with friends in the evening.
Here’s what to keep in mind:
✔ Go for a ceramic or aluminium tabletop—glass overheats too quickly in the sun.
✔ Choose chairs that are both stylish and practical—you don’t want to be constantly bringing them inside to avoid weather damage.
Pro Tip: Add a fire pit table for a touch of warmth and elegance during the cooler months.
3. Sun Loungers & Poolside Comfort
If you’ve got a pool, this is where you create that luxury hotel vibe at home.
✔ Adjustable recliners let you switch between sunbathing and sitting up with a book.
✔ Waterproof, quick-dry cushions keep everything fresh.
✔ Outdoor daybeds are the ultimate indulgence for lazy afternoons.
Pro Tip: Place side tables between loungers for easy access to drinks, books, or sunglasses.
4. Shading That Works for Dubai
The sun here is no joke. Even the best furniture needs proper shade to keep things cool and comfortable.
✔ Cantilever parasols are a flexible option—you can move them around as needed.
✔ Pergolas with retractable canopies give you control over sun exposure throughout the day.
✔ Outdoor curtains help block wind and add privacy for terrace setups.
Pro Tip: Layer your shade solutions. A combination of a pergola, umbrella, and natural greenery can keep temperatures cooler while adding style.
