The days are longer, the weather warmer—springtime is here, and we’re dreaming of backyard barbeques and starlit dinner parties. Because let’s be honest, going outside is the new going out.
To prep your patch of grass (or gravel or concrete) for the spoils of summer, we’ve rounded up 19 of our top outdoor furniture pieces of the season. Your backyard will quickly become your favorite room “in” the house with these sofas, chairs, tables, and even fire pits fit for entertaining, or simply a solo wine night alfresco. Here we go:
SOFAS
There’s room for two (or more) on these backyard-ready sofas. Many of these pieces have matching chairs as well, which makes completing your outdoor living space a snap.
A delicate iron frame and sleek white linen cushions make for a streamlined and sturdy sofa that is both lovely and timeless.
A teak frame supports all-weather sand-colored cushions on this bench sofa, and the warm, neutral tones and organic textures give it a boho-beach vibe.
Bring living room worthy comfort outdoors. Sunbrella sofa slipcovers give you that upholstery look—outside. Sunbrella fabric is a tried-and-true outdoor staple that resists fading, mold, and mildew. Clean it up with a simple power wash or spot clean, and let it dry lightning-fast in the summer sunshine.
The unique woven rope back and siding of this sofa give it that boho-casual look amongst your garden greens. Crafted with an aluminum frame and teakwood legs—and paired with removable, all-weather cushions—this sofa is made durable for outdoor use.
LOUNGE CHAIRS
Pour the lemonade, pull up a seat, and kick back with some of our favorite lounge chairs fit for backyard hangs.
With a knitted back and nest-like feel with plush cushions, this on-trend egg chair combines comfort AND style. It’s sure to be the one everyone fights over at backyard gatherings. Hint: it’s so chic, it can easily be brought inside as a stellar addition to any boho living room.
A black matte metal frame topped off with off-white cushions gives this chair a modern, streamlined look. It’s part of a longtime outdoor staple collection from CB2 we still love.
Classic enough to pass as real wicker, this lounge chair is actually man-made resin—so it’ll better hold up to summer’s scattered showers and salty beach air.
The dramatic angles create midcentury appeal with a distinctively modern twist in this lounge chair designed by Fred Segal. The base is made of teak wood, which is one of the best outdoor finishes—even when it weathers slowly and beautifully over time.
COFFEE AND END TABLES
Because everyone needs a place to set down their glass of wine or keep burgers out of the dog’s reach.
Simple. Modern. Beautiful. What more do you need? This minimalist table crafted from white concrete has strong structural and industrial vibes, but fits in neatly in almost any backyard design.
Rattan and wicker looks are having a moment. With the organic look and feel of real fiber, yet woven with synthetic rope, this cylindrical table makes for the perfect gathering spot on the patio.
The sleek, classic design of this minimalistic concrete coffee table gives it a look that’s comfortably at home both inside and out.
The mid-century modern look will forever be relevant. Bring it to your backyard with this low-maintenance piece that functions as both a side table and a stool. Though it’s carved stone in appearance, it’s actually cast of polyester resin by hand—giving it a look that’s straight from the sculptor’s studio.
DINING TABLES AND CHAIRS
Bring your loved ones together under the string lights for dinner parties lasting long into the night. You’ll never want to leave the comfort of these outdoor tables and chairs—prepare to make the patio your new dining room.
We’re kind of loving the 70s resurgence. So naturally, we love an outdoor dining chair that nods in that decade’s direction. Plus, they’re stackable for easy postseason storage.
Remember how we said that rattan and wicker are having a moment? West Elm brought one of their best-selling chair designs to the great outdoors with these dining chairs crafted of durable stainless steel and all-weather wicker.
Transport yourself to Paris sans planes or passports with this chic dining chair with a rattan frame.

A crackling fire casts a spell up the backyard like nothing else can. They’re not just for campfires and s’mores anymore (though you certainly could roast a few up)! Our favorite fire pits bring magic and warmth to your home without an expensive build or installation.
Low to the ground with a circular silhouette, this pit is the perfect piece to gather ‘round. Even better, the included propane tank holder keeps fuel close by—while doubling as a minimalist side table.
