If the past four years have taught us anything, it’s that outdoor living areas are just as important as indoor foyers and lounges. Having your own private oasis next to the pool or surrounded by trees is all important, especially in locales where the weather stays in balmier temperatures year-round. The tricky part, of course, is figuring out how you want to decorate said patio or terrace, whether that’s with breezy hanging chairs, a dining table, or chic lounges.

When shopping for outdoor furnishings, it’s important to consider durability and materials, as some options will hold up better than others. Teak, for example, won’t decay but will naturally patina to a gray hue over time. Fabric is another top-of-mind material in the conversation, particularly a performance textile that doesn’t sacrifice style and softness for durability. Some of this comes down to an aesthetic choice (certain buyers prefer the look of powder-coated aluminum, for example; others may opt for something more traditional), but it also comes down to your local area’s climactic conditions (arid climates will impact furniture differently than damp ones), so it’s important to understand how a material might age over time and how to best care for it.

To help you get started, we’ve rounded up several of our favorite outdoor furniture offerings that you can buy right now and have on your patio by the time the summer kicks into high gear. Ready to soak up some sun? Check out our picks below.
