25 Things To Make Your Patio The Place To Be
A triangular sail that'll bring your backyard some much-needed shade *and* drop the temperature a few degrees so you can actually enjoy the outdoors instead of worrying about sprouting a sweat stache.
Some connectable Edison bulb string lights so you can make your backyard look like your favorite outdoor beer garden — and your guests will love that there's no cover charge!
Solar-powered light-up flowers sure to add some whimsy to any outdoor space. And since they're cordless, you don't have to worry about being in proximity of an outlet.
A massive inflatable screen from which you can watch all your fave programs. Bust this out for all of your summer Love Island viewings, and I guarantee no one will be late.
A terrazzo firepit so you can partake in your fave outdoor pastime: making s'mores! It sure beats cooking 'em over a regular stove — let me tell you that.
A canopy swing that basically looks like a Fisher-Price baby rocker — just for adults. If only it came with a motor to automatically rock you to sleep...
A three-piece patio set with enough room for a small charcuterie spread and bottle of chilled white wine. You know, just ~summer~ stuff.
A weatherproof outdoor Wi-Fi extender you can easily mount outdoors so you can take your WFH setup and convert it into a WFO (work from outside) setup without worrying about your internet speed.
A pair of gravity lounge chairs so you can stretch out in ergonomic fashion. After being bent over your laptop all day like a lil' gremlin, it can do wonders for your lower back!
An outdoor area rug that'll add some pizzazz to your patio if otherwise, it's just a bland slab of concrete.
A fully adjustable portable backyard mister you can coil along a railing or umbrella or even just prop up on the ground next to you. It might not look like much, but it can cool areas off by up to 20 degrees!
A compact Weber grill if you don't have a ton of outdoor space but do have super-size grilling ambitions.
A three-piece bar set you can stock with everything you need to whip up tropical drinks. Don't forget the tiny umbrella toothpicks!!
An umbrella light that'll provide overhead light so you can continue your al fresco gossip sesh long after sunset.
Some crowd-pleasing flame colorant, so when you run out of s'mores ingredients... you can still get guests to stick around.
An oversized egg chair you'll soon be treating like your very own throne. My advice? Snatch up any and all bells in the house rn so you can summon your roommates/family/significant other to grab you lemonade and grapes.
Some solar-powered, round garden lights you can pop on your tabletop, in your garden beds, or along your pool for added ambiance. Squint your eyes and it's almost like you're at a resort in Cabo.
A quilted hammock because taking a nap outdoors just hits different — especially when you're laying on something as comfortable and plush as a mattress topper.
A magnetic barbecue light that'll make it easy to check in on the progress of your burgers and dogs — no phone flashlight necessary.
A weather-resistant cedar pathway you can use to connect your patio to other outdoor areas like your garden or hot tub.
A 2-in-1 cooler table so you don't have to make several trips to the kitchen when you're ready for another Topo Chico hard seltzer. Just load it up with ice and you can dump a 12-pack in, easy peasy.
A weather-resistant end table where you can place your emotional support iced coffee. Sometimes I don't even feel like caffeine, but I like having it anyway. Not sure if that's just a me thing or not, but 🤷♀️.
An indoor/outdoor bean bag you can sink into once you've scooped up the best burger of the bunch + added a healthy handful of Doritos to your BBQ-approved paper plate.
A foldable cabana chair that looks like something you'd lounge on at a far-flung resort. So what if you only have three square feet of backyard space?? This baby will transform it.
A patterned indoor/outdoor ottoman so durable, you can kick up your feet — shoes and all — without worrying about staining it or being yelled at by your mom for *potentially* staining it.
