Outdoor living has never looked so chic. In today's world, the luxuries of indoor living are finally making their way outside—and we couldn't be more excited. We are most elated by the innovations in outdoor furniture that are allowing our patio spaces to look better than ever before. While we love to mix and match antique and new furniture in our interiors, there's something really lovely about finding a chic, coordinating patio set for your outdoor space.

A patio set, which usually includes a few seating pieces in the same style, brings a cohesive look and always appears put together. Designer Ariel Okin, who created the "Trellis Garden" for the Kips Bay Decorator Show House Palm Beach, says, "Investing in a patio set saves you money in the long run, because the elements really can beat up outdoor furniture quickly, and investing in a quality set will last you decades, not just a few years," Okin shares. "Taking care of your pieces (covering them when it rains, taking them in in the winter, etc.) is so important."

Keep reading to see some of Okin's favorite patio sets as well as some of our editors' picks that we're sure you'll love. From sleek aluminum designs to whimsical, bamboo-inspired pieces, here are the best patio furniture sets to buy in 2024.

Kiawah Lounge Set

"I love anything wicker from Serena & Lily—and have a lot of that at my own house," Okin reveals. We love the stylish yet classic feel of the brand's Kiawah collection, named after the fabulous South Carolina destination.

The Kiawah Lounge Chair (pictured) reminds us of something we would find on a classic Southern porch. Paired with the Kiawah Ottoman and sofa, you'll create a classic and coordinated space you will treasure for years to come.

The Al Fresco Dining Set

There's something so nostalgic about a patio set, and we love that Business & Pleasure Co. is leaning into the aesthetic with their retro furniture.

The Al Fresco Dining Chair (pictured) complete with vibrant yellow-and-white striped cushions and the sweet Al Fresco Dining Table make your outdoor space look like it came straight out of the 1950s.

Captiva Deep 2 Piece Rattan Sofa Seating Group

Perfect for curling up and reading a good book or just soaking in the sun, this sofa set brings the comfort of the indoors out. The unique wingback design adds an extra level of style (and a bit of sun cover) that we cannot get enough of.

Lakeside 4-Piece Deep Seating Set

When it comes to outdoor furniture, durable material that can stand the test of time is everything. For years, POLYWOOD® has served customers well. With a 20-year residential warranty, you can be sure that this sustainable option is a great choice for you and your outdoor space.

Fowler Outdoor Set

Ultra-cushioned outdoor furniture is always a welcome addition to the patio party. The ultra-cozy glider in Arhaus's Fowler collection is a rocking chair redefined for the modern era. Paired with the collection's outdoor sofa and plush lounge chairs, you'll be ready for warmer days spent al fresco.

Brown Jordan Garden Dining Set by Hall Bradley

"I really love the Venetian and Calacatta silhouettes of Brown Jordan's outdoor furniture," shares Okin, and we have to agree. We love this refurbished Calcutta set we found on 1stDIBS. This particular set was designed in 1967, making it a true mid-century marvel.

Peggy Indoor/Outdoor by Sarah Sherman Samuel

Structured iron pieces are always a great addition to your outdoor space, since they're able to stand the elements and the test of time. We love Sarah Sherman Samuel's whimsical approach to the material; this unique twist makes the furniture look like a work of art.

The chair (pictured) paired with the sofa and coffee table from this collection and a fun rug make for an excellent outdoor living room.

Lissoni Outdoor Sofa

The elevated design of the Lissoni outdoor collection by Knoll is perfect for someone who's looking for a simple, yet stylish look for their outdoor space. Made with aluminum framing, the couch, lounge chair and coffee table are sleek and durable.

Kingsley Bate Algarve Lounge Set

There is something incredibly appealing about the natural beauty of teak furniture. The patina that the wood develops over time adds beautiful depth and character.

This classic Kingsley Bate set with a lounge chair, ottoman and outdoor sofa (just to name a few pieces in the extensive collection) will only get better with time.

Celerie Kemble for Lane Venture Mimi Outdoor

The whimsical and colorful designs of Celerie Kemble are embodied in this bamboo-inspired outdoor collection (aluminum mimics the look of natural fibers so that the pieces can be used outside).

We love this unexpected, thoughtful approach in the designer's Lane Venture collection, which is available on Chairish.

Avion Patio Sectional Set

Outdoor furniture is always an investment, and it can be hard to find stylish pieces at a reasonable price. This set from Harmonia Living—which comes with a sofa, chair and loveseat—gives you the most bang for your buck of the options on this list.

Modernist Mexican Outdoor by LUTECA

If you live somewhere where stormy weather and cloudy skies are more the norm than sun, you might want to invest in pieces that don't need cushions or any fabric detailing to be comfortable.

These chairs from LUTECA are handcrafted from solid Iroko wood and would look absolutely stunning on your patio.

Sol Outdoor Furniture set

There's something about a good piece of slipcovered fabric that has the ability to bring a space together, and this outdoor swivel (pictured) from Dixon Rye is no exception. However, all the pieces from the Sol collection are thoughtfully designed to last and feel utterly plush.

What materials are best for outdoor furniture?

Material is an essential element of outdoor design to consider. Okin says, "Aluminum, outdoor-rated wicker and rattan, and stone materials are incredibly durable. Things that are ceramic and not outdoor rated, or are easily breakable, are just too fussy to have to worry about!"

Think carefully about your environment before you decide on the best outdoor patio set for your lifestyle. If it rains a lot in your area, make sure that the furniture you buy has covers, is cushion-free or suitable to withstand the elements. If you live by the water, think about salt erosion and how that can impact your furniture. Taking the time to look into these smaller details will save you time and money in the long run.

When is it time to replace my outdoor furniture?

Outdoor furniture warranties and protections are important to consider when investing in pieces you want to last. Some places have great warranties that go on for 20 years, like POLYWOOD, but outdoor furniture just won't last like something you keep indoors. "When it starts to look tired, toss it," Okin recommends.
