Novogratz, one of our favorite furniture brands, also makes some stylish, affordable outdoor gear. "This bar cart is so cool and fun for poolside hangs," says Caroline Lovelace, a director at Murphy Maude Interiors. "I love the large wheel for an added design element. It's also made from rust-resistant aluminum, so it'll stand up to the wear and tear that comes with being outdoors."

Outdoor pillows need to be stain resistant and breathable, and these linen pillows from ArtSocket tick both boxes. Plus, its boho-inspired cases look great with just about any outdoor sectional or sofa.

"TOV Furniture is an affordable brand that doesn't sacrifice quality or style," Lovelace says. "I love the versatility of this stool. Its steel frame is strong and durable so it can be placed indoors or outside."

For sprawling furniture sets, go for one that's lean and sleek. "The clean lines on the framing of this set give it a modern, sophisticated feel without being too bulky," says Audrey Scheck, an Austin-based interior designer. "I also love the monochromatic coordination between the metal and fabric."

"Fire pits (literally and figuratively) warm up any outdoor space," says New York City-based designer Lisa Galano. "This one is simple in aesthetic, sturdy, and is light enough that you can clean out the embers easily once cooled."

For smaller spaces, this tabletop fire pit provides a similarly cozy vibe to an apartment balcony.

"This faux concrete gray and black coffee table is aesthetically pleasing, easy to keep clean, and super durable," says Scheck" It's water resistant and sturdy so it can handle spring showers and small spills."

Rattan and wicker are another go-to outdoor furniture materials since they're durable and can withstand sleet and rain. Plus, this option from Devoko also adds a tropical aesthetic to your patio.

"This chaise set has a mid-century flair that looks super luxurious," says Galano. "I would pair this with a terrazzo side table and umbrella for a complete five-star hotel vibe."

"A cantilevered umbrella creates flexibility to place over sofas, dining tables, or chaise loungers," says Galano. "Yeah, they're heavy to move, but they offer an abundance of coverage. I think these umbrellas in neutrals are the way to go. My favorite is cream or white."

Terracotta planters are great for plants like cacti and succulents, since they pull moisture away from soil to keep it dry quicker. This one also happens to look pretty stylish.

Mid-century modern furniture looks great in just about any room, but too much of it can make s space look cold. Break it up with a few coastal decor like this alloy steel lighting fixture. "The tropical design details on this pendant light make it the perfect addition to any outdoor patio," says Lovelace.

"This comes in a few different colors, but I love this shade of blue. It's really ergonomic and its backing makes it comfortable and weather-resistant," says Lovelace.

Wrap this around a balcony balustrade or a wooden fence for a cozy way to light up your outdoor space.

Sleek, sturdy, and easy to customize, this eight-piece furniture set is easy on the eyes, and your back, thanks to a firm-but-comfortable fiber cushion that's made for all-day napping.
