As Good Housekeeping’s home design director, I come across tons of home-related products, both good and bad. But there are some special finds that are just too great to keep to myself. That’s why I’m sharing my favorite home items with you — our readers— here on our website every month, in the hope that you’ll appreciate them as much as I do.

This month, I couldn't help but to begin hunting for a few essentials to spruce up my outdoor space. It's the perfect place to enjoy the warm weather in the company of family and friends, and even set up a little workstation whenever I need a break from my home office desk.

A few of my top picks? An umbrella that offers adequate sun protection, a great side table to rest a drink (mocktails, anyone?) and woven glassware that'll elevate the most basic tabletop.

Everyday meals indoors also came to mind, so I sprinkled in dinner plates with a beautiful clay-like finish and a glass cake stand for just $15. And that's not all.

Keep scrolling and happy shopping!
