Alfresco dining, anyone?

With warm weather upon us, all the fun is officially happening outside. The sun is shining, the days are lasting longer than 5 p.m. (v important!!), and the world is suddenly filled with infinite entertaining options. From backyard BBQs to picnics in the park to #hotgirlwalks with your favorite podcast playing in the background, there are so many reasons to get outta your home and into the Great Outdoors. However, if you’re a bit of an introvert like moi, venturing outside can be, um, a challenge.

Buuuuuut, on days when you want to take advantage of the gloriously nice weather, you may be tempted to leave home to get your fill of sunshine and general ~happy vibes~. Well, I’m here to tell you that it is, indeed, possible to a) enjoy everything the outside has to offer and b) still stay within the general vicinity of your home. You just have to have the proper outdoor furniture.

Now, when I say outdoor furniture, I’m not talking about flimsy folding chairs that might be one or two loose screws away from totally falling apart. Sure, those pieces were acceptable in your college days, but your swanky grown-up adult pad deserves some more, shall we say, dignified outdoor furniture. Fluffy cushions! Fancy bar carts! Chic ottomans! With a few key items, no matter how large or small your outdoor space, you’ll be ready to host tons of dinners, get-togethers, game nights, etc., all from the comfort of home.

Below, find our complete list of the top online shopping destinations for the best outdoor furniture. From budget-friendly discount retailers to sites with splurge-worthy, high-end designs, you’re likely to find several places to kickstart your search.

Obviously Amazon makes the cut because you can find pretty much, uh, anything at the retail giant. Their outdoor furniture selection is solid, though you might have to do a little more digging since there's just so. much. stuff! This outdoor chair with woven gray details and a light, natural-looking wood finish would look great around a fire pit, just sayin'!

Picture this: Your patio decked out in lush green plants, colorful umbrellas, clusters of white lounge chairs, and these super chic striped ottomans. Quite the stylish vision, no? Crate & Barrel is the go-to spot for gorgeous décor and furniture that stands out from the rest.

Surprise, surprise, the retailer called "Rugs USA" is actually a strong contender for the best place to shop outdoor rugs. Carpets of all sizes and shapes are their bread and butter, but I'm into this neutral ivory number with a subtle braiding detail. Pair it with white cushions and rattan furniture and voilà!

Room&Board sets the standard for minimalist, timeless pieces that work well no matter the space. These barstools (which come in black, white, and silver) would give your outdoor bar area or dining table that perfect finishing touch.

Want something a little unconventional? Head to Palermo House, a retailer known for their loungers, rugs, throws, and pillows. They have tons of high-quality pieces in stunning colors, like this lounger set that could very well be the coolest piece of outdoor furniture in existence.

A general design rule I like to follow is that for every seating area, there should be some kind of place nearby to place a book or beverage on. Enter side tables, which add functionality to a space without overwhelming it the way a dining table or coffee table might. At Burke Decor, you'll scope out lots of luxe options, like this black terrazzo side table that's begging to be accessorized with a beach read and martini glass.

Raise your hand if you may or may not have a mild rattan addiction 🙋‍♀️ The material is so fun to style, and it's everywhere at The Citizenry. Check out this site for not just mid-century modern design items, but also plenty of contemporary choices, too.

Etsy FTW! This online marketplace is where you go for one-of-a-kind, artisan-crafted pieces. I kinda like to think of Etsy as a giant thrift shop, which means some patience during your search will go v far. For instance, I happened to stumble upon this cleverly useful balcony bar table that will turn any small balcony into a bar. BRILLIANT.

For those on the hunt for classic, traditional outdoor furniture pieces, you absolutely want to check out Pottery Barn. The store has easy-to-style pieces—like this set of three accent tables—that will help your yard, patio, terrace, etc. really shine. And be sure to check out the sale page for deep discounts on outdoor furniture from time to time!

Minimalist trend-seekers tend to favor CB2, which is chock-full with outdoor furniture items you didn't know you needed. Case in point: this tall outdoor planter that could totally be your de-facto garden bed if you don't have a whole yard to yourself. Let your green thumb go wild, bb.

If you want to channel the vibe of a soothing Mediterranean Sea escape, look no further than Rove Concepts. This retailer offers luxe outdoor furniture options, like this white-and-wood sling chair that will easily become your new post-work unwind spot.

Floyd is a fave for outdoor furniture finds, especially if you're into streamlined design that still has a certain ~look~. This bench is not only v practical, but the colors it comes in (green, blue, yellow, white) also look so good!

If your design style leans more coastal grandmother (I mean, same), then Castlery should be a retailer at the top of your list. With all the natural woods, woven materials, plush fabrics, etc. to choose from, you'll be able to transform your space into a Nancy Meyers movie set in no time.

Want to totally redo your outdoor space on a budget? Gotta get to Big Lots, where you can find whole sets of outdoor furniture (like this one!!) at pretty significant discounts.

When you want to go bold with your outdoor furniture, stop by Industry West. Colors are their thing, as you can see from this bright yellow outdoor chair (which comes in a set of 4 for the $700 price, btw). Throw on some equally vibrant pillows and you've got a patio party, people!

Ready to spend some $$$ on an investment piece? Article is a good starting point because they offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee. Plus, you get free shipping on orders above $999.

When you're not already spending your entire paycheck there (jk..or am I?), Target is THE spot for budget-friendly furniture for the indoors and outdoors. This nifty folding table, for instance, can 10000% double as both a makeshift stool and a practical end table—ideal for when you're short on space.

For affordable options, Overstock will rarely let ya down. I've sourced many a chair/rug/table from them, and aside from the usually reasonable prices, the shipping tends to be suuuuuper fast. Perf for when you need to spruce up that outdoor space in a short timeframe!

Hosts with the mosts will wanna have Serena & Lily at the top of their outdoor furniture shopping lists. The retailer is a must when you're searching for that breezy coastal look, as you can see from this outdoor bar setup. With two bins below the teak lids and a lower shelf for storage, there's more than enough room for drinks, glassware, and other party favors.

In case you're the type who's craving some ~quirky~ outdoor furniture, I included Blu Dot on this list because it's got all. the. quirk. Just look at this cutie mesh lounge chair that comes in nine total hues, ranging from golf course green to watermelon pink.
