Take your interior design outdoors: we’ve done the research for you, and bring you only the most stunning (and fun!) outdoor furniture and decor items to make your summer days cosy yet cool.
Stassi Outdoor Side Table – Shhh don’t tell anyone, but this might be our favourite item on this list. The round edges on this ceramic side table make it the perfect addition to the patio or balcony of any eclectic soul. Chic and playful, we can pretty much guarantee it will be a conversation starter at your next gathering!
Amazonas Palacio Hammock – Pair this with a good paperback and a piña colada. This gorgeous yet simple tan hammock is the perfect way to fine-tune your outdoor decor and add some bohemian flair. Finished by hand with macramé, it would make a romantic addition to your al fresco space.

Metal Wall Planter – If you’re looking for a touch of nature, but are not one for a full-on DIY garden, this wall-mounted metal planter might just be what you’re looking for. It can hold a wide variety of small plants, herbs and ferns, so feel free to customise yours according to your taste. It’s also incredibly easy to clean and offers a modern yet natural appeal.
Solar-Powered Outdoor Umbrella – What’s summer without the sun, right? Except no one wants to have it bearing down on their face or melting their pitcher of hard-earned margaritas. Sometimes you just need a little shade, which is when this outdoor umbrella comes in handy. With 26 solar LED lights, it offers shelter on the sunniest of days and illumination on balmy summer nights.
Tiipii Bed – We’ve been daydreaming of a Tiipii bed for the longest time, and we think we’ve found our perfect match: this classic model, made with a polycotton canvas, looks perfect to cosy up in on a warm day. Available in an array of neutral and earth tones, it comes with a sheer white net and folds easily for storage.
Natural Dog Basket – Summer is all about celebrating friendship, and that includes our furry friends! If you want to make them feel even more at home in your backyard, garden or balcony (which of course you do, right?), take a look at this beautiful dog basket from Bloomingville, which will give them the most snuggly sleep, day or night. Spacious yet lightweight, we love the tropical feel of the cane design.
Broste Copenhagen Plant Stand – Summertime is synonymous with outdoor living and communing with nature. However, if hanging around outside is not really your style (we get it, the heat, the humidity, the bugs, your TV and bed just calling to you…), there are still a few ways to bring nature home: one of them is investing in house plants. Here’s a modern way to display them: Broste Copenhagen’s sleek iron plant stand.
Cast Iron Wood-Burning Fire Pit – Summer nights were made for sitting and singing around a campfire, ideally with a cold beer in hand and a marshmallow toasting on a stick. Great feeling, huh? If you want to bring it home with you, one way would be to invest in this sleek black fire pit, so you can sit around a blazing fire with friends and family in the comfort of your own patio. Marshmallows not included.
Circular Lemon Tray – Colombian designer Mercedes Salazar happens to have a pretty cool home collection, in addition to the stunning jewellery designs she’s best known for. Check out this fresh and fun handmade lemon-shaped tray. Doesn’t it just scream summer to you? Because we can definitely picture a few frozen drinks on top of it.
Geometric Natural Outdoor Rug – Rugs don’t just add cosy vibes and visual interest to indoor areas, they can totally elevate open-air spaces as well – they just need to be made from durable, weather-proof materials. If you’re looking to add sophistication to your balcony or terrace, we personally think this gorgeous neutral-toned rug is the perfect start. It relies mostly on texture to make an impact, which makes it versatile and easier to combine with the rest of your furniture.
Bola Oil Lamps – Oil lamps are a classy way to bring some light into any space, and your outdoor haven is no exception. These elegant cement ones are simple and chic at the same time, and are likely to bring illumination and modernism to your space. Just be careful: make sure to use only vegetable-based oils (canola, soy, sesame, etc.) with them.
Watering Can, By Eero Aarnio – This is a formal invitation to start gardening, if you haven’t already. Get all your essentials and get ready to get your hands dirty! Oh, and maybe get a hold of this cute and lively watering can, designed by Eero Aarnio. Expressive and contemporary, it will bring life and smiles into your garden. If we were you, we’d display it proudly.
Lighted Bird Bath – Disney princesses aren’t the only ones who can attract small woodland creatures. In fact, you can do it, too. Just, umm, not with your lovely singing voice. Instead, try installing this pretty bird bath with an ornate base, brushed bronze finish and solar-powered lighting. Make sure to take pictures when your little friends arrive for a refreshing soak.
Minimalist LED Fountain – The heat is rising, and cooling down with a drink in hand while lounging in your backyard sounds like the best idea ever, right? To help with the cooling atmosphere, consider adding this gorgeous modern LED Polyresin Water Fountain. Will it add aesthetic charm to your al fresco space? Yes. Will it also add soothing natural sound? Also yes. Plus, its shape and light make it an extremely interesting visual point.
Outdoor Torch Lamp – We don’t know about you, but when hot days turn into warm nights, we’re in the mood for hosting. To make the most of your garden space, try decorating with a couple of these outdoor torch lamps, designed by Pure Garden. Just stick a few of them either around the perimeter or in a couple of strategic spots for some major modern beach vibes. Their soft glow will turn the most basic of spaces into a lively place for conversation.
