These sweet finds will help get your yard towards the masterpiece you know it can be.
1.
An outdoor ceiling fan because who doesn’t want a nice breeze on demand? With its beautiful ribbed leaf design, it’ll feel like you’re being fanned with a palm leaf Roman-style (grapes and chaise not included).
2.
A stylish pergola to give you some modular shade, a bit of enclosure to your yard (without being as bulky as a gazebo), and an opportunity to say “it’s actually called a pergola” which is scientifically proven to be one of the most fun words to say.
3.
A tufted chaise cushion because why stand when you could sit, and why sit when you can lie down? With these absolutely GORG cushions, your chaise will help you conserve your vital energies as well as provide you with a pretty little spot to snooze outdoors.
4.
A personalized garden sign to turn your herb garden into a more stately (and utterly adorable!!) affair. Every detail of this sign is pitch perfect — from the rich color options to the font and to the patinated accents and garden motifs.
5.
A string light curtain since nothing says “backyard fairy paradise where all my friends come over and we grill and project movies on a white bedsheet” quite like string lights. 😉
6.
A pair of Acapulco chairs with a bright, festive color and fun hammock weave that just scream POOL PARTY! These stylish, durable chairs can brighten up any backyard or poolside they find themselves in.
7.
A steel wood-burning firepit that’s perfect for doing a bit of live-fire grilling, caramelizing marshmallows for the best S’mores ever, or simply toasting your toesies while watching the embers sparkle.
8.
Or these citronella torches to help posh-up the typically overdone tiki vibe. These sleek torches can mesh with many backyard aesthetics and outlast their woven counterparts.
9.
A stylish gas grill that would pair nicely with a vintage jukebox and a trip to the malt shop. 😎 But this glossy grill isn’t just a pretty face — it sports three burners and foldable side tables that’ll make grilling a breeze.
10.
An iron arbor because who doesn’t need an Instagrammable set piece in their yard? Like, if one of your friends wanted to propose to their long-time partner, you’d feel pretty embarrassed not having this gorgeous arbor — hopefully trellised with flowering ivy — there for the occasion.
Wayfair, susan / Wayfair
Promising review: “I love it. Sturdy and well-made. A beautiful accent to my garden. Can’t wait for the wisteria to grow on it!” —Betty
Price: $278.33 (originally $449.95)
11.
A garden stool which works just as well as backup seating as it does a cocktail table. Made from a lightweight concrete mixture, this table is not only actually portable but also built to last even when exposed to the elements.
Wayfair
Promising review: “This is a very sturdy and solid outside table. The best part is that I don’t have to worry about it falling over from someone leaning on it because the base is just as wide as the top and I don’t have to worry about the wind blowing it over.” —Minelli
Price: $95+ (originally $124; available in three colors)
12.
A cantilever outdoor umbrella so that the whole gang can have all the shade they need to without having to heave around umbrellas. The best part: the crank lift means that it’s easy-peasy to set up and collapses down to a very manageable footprint when it’s not needed.
Wayfair
Reviewers do note that this doesn’t come with a weighted base — you’ll have to purchase one separately.
Promising review: “Why oh why did I not buy this umbrella sooner? I am quite sensitive to bright sunlight, and this terrific umbrella allows me to sit in my Adirondack chair and read, occasionally standing up to move the umbrella slightly as the sun moves across the sky. The mechanism for extending the umbrella is smooth, and I can easily turn the upper arm to move the entire shade with one hand. This was a GREAT purchase!” —Shelley
Price: $129 (originally $279; available in three colors)
13.
A 12-piece seating group for when you want to ditch the dining room and set out a nice app spread and drink station outside instead. And that’s just one of the many times this easy-on-the-eyes outdoor set will come in handy!
Wayfair
The set includes a three-piece sectional sofa, a two-piece sectional loveseat, two chairs, two ottomans, two side tables, and a storage coffee table.
Promising review: “Love the whole set! Absolutely beautiful and the quality is fabulous — thick material on the cushions. Everything is big and bulky, nice and deep for your legs. Beautiful quality, really handsome set. We get tons of compliments on it.” —Kelly
Price: $2,899.99+ (available in 10 colors)
14.
A ash-looking privacy screen to give yourself a little privacy and a LOT of backyard swagger. These panels are modular, zero-fuss, and much more aesthetic than many other fence-type solutions.
Wayfair, Roger / Wayfair
Promising review: “Perfect privacy screen. We had a section of our patio that was a fishbowl to the new neighbors who left all kinds of tools, motorcycle parts, and toys scattered around their yard. These screens are the perfect solution. Turned our patio into an oasis. Very easy to put together and sturdy. Took me 45 minutes per screen, and all of the parts were included (which wasn’t the case with a screen from a big box store we returned). We ended up buying three more to put at another section of our fence by ourselves by the pool. Highly recommended!” —Brennan
Price: $229.67 per panel (originally $369.99)
15.
An Adirondack chair that’ll give you the gift of some coastal vibes in your favorite place to chill. Made from 99 percent recycled plastics — aka stuff that would otherwise get tossed straight into a landfill — this update of the classic Adirondack survives the outdoors in a way that hardwood never could.
Heidi/Wayfair, Nicole/Wayfair
Promising review: “LOVE the modern Adirondack chairs! We were looking for chairs for this fire pit space for a few weeks. They are VERY COMFORTABLE, no pressure on lower back — we don’t even use pillows, but you can use pillows for lumbar support if you’d like — but probably not necessary, these are so comfy. My husband loved the modern look (flat/straight back) instead of it being curved at the top. The armrests are wide enough if you want to rest a drink on it. Will probably purchase another one since we have the extra space for it around the fire pit.” —Heather
Price: $249+ per chair (originally $355+; available in 15 colors and also available in a three-piece seating group)
16.
A catio so your fur babies can enjoy the great outdoors, too! (or at least, the great backyard). With all the perch spots your feline loves combined with the securely shutting gate, this kitty jungle gym can keep your skittish cat feeling secure and your escape-artist cat contained.
SHELLEY/Wayfair
Promising review: “Our cat absolutely *loves* this catio. She’s an indoor cat who has always wished she were an indoor/outdoor cat, so she would constantly try to scoot out the back door when we were coming in or going out. No longer! She waits patiently by the back door, and if we say ‘Coco, do you want to go outside?’ she gets super excited and starts meowing. It’s the cutest thing. We pick her up, walk outside, put her down in front of the catio, and she sashays right in, happy as a clam. We debated about buying this catio because it’s expensive, but it’s worth the money — solidly built and the asphalt roof keeps Coco protected if it starts to rain when she’s out there. Highly recommend!” —Kristi
Price: $194.99+ (originally $306.99+; available in three colors)
17.
And/Or an outdoor pet bed that can keep both Fido and Whiskers unbothered. Elevated. In their lane. Focused (on butterflies). Flourishing. The best part — the fabric on these beds is both highly washable and flea-and-tick-resistant!
Catherine / Wayfair
Promising review: “Duke loves it! We bought it so that he has an elevated surface to lay on outside. He likes to sunbathe, he likes to enjoy cool breezy evenings. The bed itself is sturdy and has lived up to a 90-pound dog laying on it for almost a year and aside from extreme weather, we leave it outside and it has tolerated rain, cold, and sun.” —Duke and his mom
Price: $31.81+ (available in two sizes and two colors)
18.
An outdoor patio daybed because sometimes you want to share the luxurious comfort of a shaded daybed with someone special. Turn your backyard into a romantic resort — or take self-indulgence to the next level and treat your single-self to a king-size repose.
Trish / Wayfair
Promising review: “Amazing quality, been out in the sun the majority of the summer and is still holding its nice brown color. Perfect for two people to lay outside and relax.” —Nathaneal
Price: $193.99 (available in two colors)
19.
An oversized four-in-a-row game because few things spark as much joy as adult-sized kids games. Be real, wasn’t this game the origin of half of our competitive streaks? Now in a larger, UV-resistant outdoor format, you and your besties can all show off your skills and try to capture the middle space!
Wayfair
Promising review: “This giant game was great over the holidays. The family had a lot of fun with it. Easy to put together and has a release at the bottom for the pieces to fall out in between games.” —Charlene
Price: $103 (originally $239.99)
20.
Or a giant block stacking game to find out how ~balanced~ you or your friends really are. Easy to set up and even easier to break down — this game will have guests of all ages testing their dexterity.
Wayfair
Promising review: “If you are looking for some fun to entertain the young and old you will definitely need this game for you backyard! My family and friends had a blast playing with this large block set.” —Allison
Price: $44.99+ (originally $69.99+; available in two colors and four sizes)
21.
A stylish swing chair for those who want to rock without a rocking chair — and who want to be able to curl up a little extra. This wicker/rattan number is easy, breezy, AND beautiful!
Wayfair
Promising review: “Almost everyone who comes to my house wants to take this home. It’s wonderful!” —Laura
Price: $387.18+ (originally $1,035+; available in two colors)
22.
A double chaise that is the wheel deal when it comes to comfort. 😝 But seriously, this chaise’s extra-wide design and split back adjustment makes parallel lounging a dream or solo lounging an indulgence.
Wayfair
Promising review: “We are thrilled with this double chaise lounge. It’s perfect for two and it looks great on the patio.” —Anonymous
Price: $459.99+ (originally $559.99+; available in two colors)
23.
A freestanding porch swing with a canopy to swing with a friend or two in the comfort of the shade. Think about it — when was the last time you swung with two of your best friends at once? Revive the childhood whimsy of the playground and protect yourself from the sun at the same time!
Wayfair
Promising review: “Easy to put together, adjustable cover, and extremely comfortable. I sit on it every morning and drink my tea and again to enjoy the cool evening. I love this swing!” —Lynn
Price: $239.99+ (available in four colors)
24.
A solid wood table and benches that will bring a bit of a slatted MCM feel to your outdoor dining situation. Made of durable, weather-resistant acacia wood, this set is built to stand the test of time and look great while doing it.
Wayfair
Promising review: “Beautiful table for outdoor dining. Benches go under the table for easier storage to not take up a lot of patio space. We have easily sat six people comfortably, even though it says it is for four people.” —Justina
Price: $479.99 (originally $589.99)
25.
An indoor/outdoor folding chair that’s decidedly NOT the last-resort seating that most folding chairs amount to. In fact, with its curvilinear design and woven fabric seat and back, it might just become your first-resort seating.
Wayfair
Promising review: “This chair was perfect for our little patio. It’s low to the ground which I like. The material seems high quality and I don’t anticipate the seat stretching out.” —Sarah
Price: $119.99+ (originally $179.99; available in two colors)
26.
A woven two-person set for a cozy nook in the yard to get a bit of one-on-one time. This breezy, hand-woven wicker set brings a bit of organic elegance and comfort to your backyard and will help you get that resort feel all back-yarders covet.
Wayfair
Promising review: “This exceeded my expectations. It’s attractive, simple to assemble, and extremely comfortable. The cushions are quite thin, and I immediately assumed I would replace them, but it’s not necessary. That’s how comfortable the chairs are!” —Christine
Price: $169.99+ (available in two colors)
27.
A greek goddess lawn statue to really up the romanesque ante in your backyard paradise. If you’re looking to go for gold here, what could be more serene and timeless than a walk amongst your own personal sculpture garden? PS: If you already have a grotto, this is the finishing touch you’ve been looking for.
Wayfair
Promising review: “I can’t rate this statue highly enough! She looks fabulous outside on the terrace. Extremely well packed and arrived in perfect condition. Stunning!” —Susan
Price: $752.50 (originally $922.26)
28.
A posh colonial bird house so that you’re not the only one enjoying your outdoor space. In fact, this beautiful little bird home is rendered in such exquisite detail, you may feel more like you have neighbors than just feathered friends!
Wayfair
Promising review: “This birdhouse is adorable and looks well-made. It’s also practical, as it has a way to open the back to clear out old nests.” —Pamela
Price: $53.56+ (originally $80; available in three colors)
29.
A weather-resistant accent table to get the curve trend securely landed in your backyard before the whole world catches up. This beautiful number is comfortable inside and out, and its ribbed, tapered design catches the eye without sticking out.
Kimberly / Wayfair

Price: $285.99 (originally $359.99)
30.
And, a tiled patio side table which is perfect for capturing a bit more of a Mediterranean feel just in time to get sun-kissed while tanning. I mean really — can you think of a better table to rest your Aperol spritz or basil and cucumber-laden iced tea? Thought not. 😏
Wayfair
Promising review: “Got my table in today. Love this little side table. Very pretty and sturdy. Husband said it was nice and pretty. Looks just like the picture. Gonna put on my back porch. Love it. ❤️” —Michele
