Looking to turn your backyard or patio into an oasis? The best outdoor furniture stores will deliver everything you need to transform an average open-air space into an alfresco fantasy.
Whether you’re hoping to host hoards of friends or just lounge and take in some fresh air on your own, a comfortable space is a happy space. But buying outdoor furniture can quickly become overwhelming. Here are a few things that will make it easier:
We’ve rounded up the very best shops that offer robust selections of outdoor furniture in a variety of styles—because why not have a slice of well-designed paradise in your own backyard?
It’s likely you’ve seen some Hay outdoor furniture in the backyards of your coolest buddies. Though there aren’t a ton of designs to choose from, the Danish-inspired brand really leans in on a few “patterns.” We aren’t talking textile patterns, more so powder-coated steel with clever cutouts. The color options are simple and rich: Think deep reds and lush olive green.
If your interior design (well, exterior design) style leans traditional, Pottery Barn has a ton of options for you to get lost in. Expect lots of texture, like rattan, and simple color palettes—beiges, creams, browns, and the occasional pop of chambray blue. This is an especially good spot to shop for deals on outdoor furniture sets—plus many of the designs are water-resistant and durable.

This brand does a fantastic job offering neutrals in just about every design, as well as a bold pop of color. Each chair, table, and pouf is speaking to two audiences—perfect if you and your roommate (or partner, or parent) can’t quite agree on the color palette of your backyard space. There’s always room for one (or four) bright lounge chairs.
