Create your ideal outdoor oasis with these top outdoor shops.
Wayfair
Builders, interior designers and home décor enthusiasts all seem to agree: Shopping Wayfair is the way, in large part due to the sheer volume of stylish options and affordability. Some items ship for free and all can be returned within 30 days if it doesn’t work for you.
Assemble a top-notch entertaining area, poolside lounge or cabana. Hang a hammock to relax in. Then top it all off with planters, fountains, outdoor-proof dishware and more, all in one stop.
IKEA
For fans of simple Scandi style, it’s hard to go wrong shopping outdoor and patio furniture at IKEA. Perhaps owing to their Euro roots, IKEA designers offer furniture with smaller footprints — chairs and bistro tables that fit on small balconies, and furniture sized just right for little kids.
That’s not all. Many pieces belong to a larger collection, which makes it easy to design a stylish setting. Modular pieces allow you to customize the look. Some even offer storage space under the seats to keep the patio clutter-free.
Walmart
Huge selection, great prices, free shipping on purchases more than $35 and free returns: It’s easy to like shopping patio goods at Walmart. Shop by style — from boho to mid-century and back — or by brand, which includes perennial favorites from The Pioneer Woman, Sofia & William and house brand Mainstays.
Riverbend Home
Riverbend Home offers a wonderful selection of top outdoor patio brands such as Polywood, Sunbrella and Sunnydaze, known for their quality and durability. Their site offers expert, practical advice to help you design your space, too. Shipping is free for orders of more than $79, and the shop offers an easy 30-day return policy.
West Elm
If you’re looking to style up a luxe-but-comfortable oasis, West Elm has you covered. You’ll spend more than the discount spots, but West Elm boasts weatherproof, built-to-last designs. You can also chat with a designer on the site who will help answer questions and guide your final decisions. Lounge, dine and party all season long.
Room & Board
If you prioritize legacy furniture sourced from sustainable materials, Room & Board should be your first shopping stop. More than 90 percent of their materials are sustainably sourced within the U.S.
They support the livelihoods of more than 15,000 craftspeople, creating timeless pieces that will stand up to harsh summer conditions and last generations. Find all the pieces you need for a gorgeous summer soiree, no matter the occasion, even if it’s simply an alfresco Sunday morning with the newspaper and a cup of coffee.
Overstock
Huge selection, big bargains. Need we say more? Patio sets in all manner of materials, fire pits, storage and even outdoor games can be purchased at great prices. And usually you can score an extra discount on top of already-reduced prices.
Filter your shopping by price, material, brand, furniture type — even chairback height — to narrow your picks. Standard shipping is free in the lower 48 states. You’re only on the hook for return shipping if you have buyer’s remorse because defective returns are free. You have 30 days in either case.
