Freshen up Your Outdoor Space With These Backyard Ideas and Patio Ideas

Wish List

Add a hanging chair to your yard. Right now, (in Mocha) or this one in a light creamy white. I think its the best price ever. I’ve been wanting one forever for the backyard to sit and read in. (It’s been on Sammie’s wish list too.) Hello, back yard chill’ in. PS you can buy a stand for the hanging swing if you don’t have a tree or porch spot to hang yours.
We need a new umbrella stand. Do you? I love this one on wheels. Why? The sun is always moving and being able to position your umbrella shade is easily is extremely helpful! This one is super sturdy.
I also need a new umbrella shade. Do you? They never last forever! This 9-foot white umbrella shade with fringe has a chic boho vibe, which is extra pretty. Make a backyard oasis you can live in all summer long. Keep cool and sit in the shade while patio dining or drink sipping…
Add patio cushions to your outdoor chairs. This style of indoor/outdoor cushions come in 24 different designs. Pick from styles that are in neutrals, stripes, leopard, florals…These are perfect for adding to your metal chairs, wicker chairs, or any chair that needs a cushion.
I have a few vintage metal chairs with deep backs, adding indoor/outdoor throw pillows for back support are a must. I spotted these indoor/outdoor pillows with jute edging. Perfect for my patio plans but, they have ones without jute too. What style do you prefer? 12 designs and colors, plus even more!
Do you need an outdoor coffee table? I am loving this weather-resistant acacia wood coffee table. Or maybe you just need something like these nesting tables that are on my wishlist. They can be used indoors or outdoors, with its pretty boho vibe they are made out of mosaic and metal.
Lighting and setting the mood for the evening is everything when it comes to making your pretty oasis. These indoor/outdoor glimmer string lights even have a remote available and have a timer for easy use. Make your space magical.
Bronze metal lanterns which you can use indoors or outdoors come in 4 sizes, I love the extra-large. I love pairing in threes for a pretty look or staggering the lighting around the yard.
Do you have a covered patio, porch, or back porch? Then a jute rug like this is perfect!
If you have a spot where you can hang a chandelier, this bohemian chandelier will make your space shine! This makes me wish I had a covered patio! I love it so much, I could just get one and hang it indoors.

Do you enjoy spending time in the backyard? I do that’s where I wrote this post. Here’s to happy weekends, iced coffee-sipping, or wine-sipping in the backyard. It’s wine o’clock somewhere right?
