I love being able to sit outside comfortably with my family and enjoy a meal or a cup of tea. There’s something extra special about being out in nature and soaking up the breeze with your loved ones.

But the sad thing is, most patio furniture can be expensive, no? The truth is… I think you get what you pay for, and having actual furniture be exposed to the elements is tough. If you want something that lasts, sometimes the investment’s a little steeper.

When picking patio furniture, consider where it will be located and just how much exposure it will have. For example, if you’re buying for a screened in patio, perhaps you can buy something that is a little less high quality because it won’t be so exposed to sun and precipitation. Or, maybe you’re the opposite and you want to buy something of less quality because you know it will be out in the elements and will be ruined anyway. Either way, these are some things to consider when shopping for outdoor furniture.

No matter your price range or patio situation, here are some options for patio furniture that will have you soaking up the sun in no time.

1. White coastal outdoor sofa: I LOVE this piece. It makes patio furniture appear comfy and cozy AND chic, which is a feat. It would be so great at a beach house.

2. Two white modern patio chairs: I love this set! It’s modern and affordable.

3. A modern and comfortable loveseat: It matches the patio chairs above and is so cool looking.

4. A simple matte black gas firepit: Doesn’t a firepit just make everything so much more festive?

5. A five-piece set with seating and a firepit coffee table: Okay, this set. SO GOOD! It has everything you need for relaxing and entertaining outside.

6. A simple modern charcoal loveseat: It doesn’t get much better than a stylish place to sit with your honey.
