Patio & Balcony Inspiration + Shop Outdoor Living Updates

It’s that time of year again! The sun is shining & days are longer, which makes us (and most everyone else) want to head outside and enjoy a glass of white wine, rosé, or a sweet iced tea. While some head to a restaurant with a great outdoor space to achieve this want, others head to their own backyard or balcony to enjoy the sunshine at home. If you’re part of the latter group, we highly encourage upgrading your outdoor living space this season with new furniture like a set of chairs, a loveseat, or a dining set and/or some décor, such as twinkling bistro lights, outdoor pillows, a fire pit, or planters filled with greenery and blooms.

Even small updates can make all the difference when it comes to turning your outdoor living space into an area of your home that you want to spend as much time in as possible. Though it won’t be used as often as your family room or even a formal living room, it will make a sunny day that much more enjoyable – even if just for a few minutes while you’re downing that spiked lemonade.

Take a look at some of our favorite outdoor living spaces, below, to get inspiration for your own patio or balcony & keep reading to shop furniture & décor to easily upgrade your space!
