The days are getting warmer, the grass is getting greener, and the flowers are blooming. The outdoors are literally calling: is your patio ready? At House Beautiful we believe the best way to answer that call is to refresh your backyard retreat. Let’s face it: you can’t truly enjoy the lazy days of summer if you’re trying to relax on a chaise lounge with a rusty base and a moldy cushion, can you? To revive your outdoor aesthetic, we searched high and low for the best outdoor furniture finds that combine function and style.
Plush pieces like sofas outfitted in soft, performance fabrics and indoor/outdoor rugs make it easy to extend the comfort of your living room out onto your deck. Meanwhile, staples like dining tables and lounge chairs come in a variety of new silhouettes that are also weather resistant just in case there are sudden rain showers. Your backyard set-up doesn’t have to be boring either. This season, metal furniture comes in fun shades like "avocado green" that offer a way for you to bring out your personality while accessories like a beach umbrella have fun pink stripe detailing.
No matter how you choose to spend your time outside, whether you're reading on the veranda or lounging by the pool, you will want to spruce up that area. In order to do so, shop the new outdoor decor products we love ahead, which will reawaken your alfresco style. There will be a piece that speaks to everyone's hearts and tastes—we made sure of that.

Coastal-inspired decor is trending for summer, so if you feel ready to embrace the look but want to start off small, go for this lamp. It's wrapped in an all-weather synthetic rattan. You can't tell from the photo, but the light socket is enclosed in a glass globe to protect it from rain showers.

Kim Outdoor Drink Table
When you think of summer prints, florals and waves might immediately come to mind. However, there's also another quintessential pattern: terrazzo! If you don't love the colorful speckled kind, opt for a more neutral pattern as seen on MG's drink table.
SCOORA Lantern S
For a lantern that almost looks like a work of art, pick up the SCOORA by Hoffmann & Kahleyss Design. The name, according to DEDON, is "a variation of the name Zora, which in different languages and cultures has meanings such as sky, sun, sunrise or shell." The intricate weave will add texture to your outdoor space.
