We all love watching the roses being given every season, but let me tell you… Finding the best outdoor furniture for your space will feel even better than getting a rose from Arie, and let’s be honest it will also last a whole lot longer. I can all but guarantee that. ;)
The weather is warming up and we are super excited to begin using our outdoor space to take a break from watching The Bachelor again this year. We have a lot of plans for updating, but also want to enjoy the work we’ve done over the last couple years. Finding the best outdoor furniture for the different spaces we have has been a blast and I’m excited to share a bunch of my finds today in partnership with Wayfair to celebrate their 24 hour WayDay event. So many of these items we love and use are up to 70% off today with free shipping. From fire pits to hammock chairs and everything in between. It’s all on sale for just for 24 hours! Let’s go shopping.
I’m not sure what your outdoor space looks like, but including the best outdoor furniture pieces can transform any patio, yard or deck. Putting in the right furniture will give you the outdoor space you desire without so much work that you’ll miss enjoying it.
My biggest tip for figuring out what outdoor furniture pieces you will need is to think about how you’d like to use the space. Most outdoor spaces have 3-6 different usages (think keeping kids active, relaxing with a book, having friends over etc), so finding outdoor pieces that can satisfy all of these ideals and look great together is one of the best investments you can make for really enjoying your home.
9 Tips For Investing In The Best Outdoor Furniture
Don’t forget to cover up with an awesome umbrella.
Finding great umbrellas to shade the outdoor space with can be a challenge. They tend to either be of the not-very-cute variety or crazy expensive. We got our large 10 foot one from Wayfair 2 years ago and it is still doing beautifully to shade our table from the harsh summer sun. This one is less than $50 today in celebration of #WayDay and it comes in the brightest and best pops of color! Even if all you grab is a new bright umbrella this season it will bring that tired outdoor furniture set back to life.
Grab furniture that does double duty.
Unless you have the joy of sprawling acreage out back, you’ll most likely need to decided which best outdoor furniture pieces get priority. Finding pieces that do double duty for you like a table that can easily seat four and then fold up to be a buffet when not needed will allow your outdoor space to feel full and free. Finding ways to have your pieces fill multiple roles and still look great will bring your back yard, no matter how small to life.

Think of how often you actually have 12 people over to fill that huge table?
Not nearly as often as just a friend or two stopping by to enjoy a cup of coffee in the garden. Making your outdoor space one that feel comfortable no matter the crowd is easy with a couple different smaller seating arrangements sprinkled throughout.
