Hello, Summer!
Whether I am entertaining, reading my book, or playing with my kids, I want to spend as much time as possible outside when the weather is nice. Since our patio furniture gets great use, I have learned that quality outdoor furniture makes all the difference when creating a space you can enjoy.
But this doesn’t mean you have to break the bank. There are lots of affordable patio furniture options available right now.
Here are my top picks for both functional and comfortable outdoor furniture you will love, no matter what your price range is.

What’s in style?
When it comes to design right now, earth tones, rust and pink hues like mauve and peach are in. Also back this year are mosaic and terrazzo, which are super easy to incorporate into your patio design esthetic especially with side tables and accessories. When it comes to metals, brass and gold accents are out, and iron and silver accents are in.
Keep an eye out for sales
This time of year there are tons of sales on outdoor furniture since retailers are getting ready for the fall. Arhaus and Crate & Barrel, for example, are both having their outdoor events right now with lots of their outdoor furniture up to 50% off, along with many other retailers with markdowns this time of year.
The Perfect Outdoor Furniture for Any Space
Chaise Lounges & Chairs
Side Tables & Accent Pieces
You can add a lot of personality to your space by simply adding a unique accent table, large pot, or accessory. For example, look at this adorable bar cart (also shown below) on clearance at Crate & Barrel right now. It can function as a bar cart, a potting station, serving station for entertaining, and more!
Terrazo and mosaic are everywhere right now so I sourced a few great options for any outdoor space.
Dining Tables
Gathering around the dinner table with family and friends is quintessential summer. I scoured the internet to find modern sets for any budget. Here are my favorites from Article, Birch Lane, and Crate & Barrel.
Depending on where you live, be sure to think about the elements and purchase something that is durable enough to hold up in the sun, rain or snow.
I love that the above Birch Lane table is such a unique shape and fits 8 people. It is not often that you find a dining table this size, especially for an outdoor space. And it’s a great value too! It includes a large table and 8 chairs for under $1,600.
Amazon carries Purple Leaf, which is one of my favorite outdoor furniture brands. They have up-to-date styles that are stull durable and weatherproof. The cushions are removeable so you can store during the winter months or take them off to clean them, and the braided chair back is actually made of a unique handwoven textile rope that can be hosed down easily, and dries quickly.
