Create a Relaxing Outdoor Oasis in Just 5 Steps, No Matter the Size of Your Space

First things first: Set the scene. A rug defines your space, adding interest, texture, and an open invitation to come and stay a while. This navy print geometric number brings all the pattern and depth to create a specific zone for unwinding.

If you’re going to invest in one bigger ticket item, it’s got to be patio furniture. This wicker set (including a sofa, two gliders, *and* two ceramic tile top nesting tables) inspires conversation with your pals, and serves as a space to curl up with a good book and your favorite iced tea all on your own.

What’s better than settling into a cozy spot? A cozy spot dotted with gorgeous plants and leafy greens. You’ll need a few plant stands like this earthy wooden one to showcase your newest plant babies at different heights, so they each get the attention they deserve.

Feeling comfy is just as important outdoors as it is indoors. To that end, consider a plush throw pillow that’s totally fresh-air friendly. This textured and tasseled one does just the trick, while adding an unexpected pop of color in a boho-cool teal.

A chic umbrella—like this black and white striped one—will make you feel like you’ve been transported to some faraway, beachy locale while offering very chic sun protection. Bonus: It comes with an easy crank handle lift, so opening or stowing away the umbrella is a breeze.
