Summer Spruce: Outdoor Edition Design Your Outdoor Space for 2024
It’s summer and we’re turning up the heat! With warmer days here, we can’t bring ourselves to stay cooped up inside. We’re ready for barbecues, warm evenings on the patio, and those unforgettable summer parties with friends + family. Here are the pieces we deem as ‘must haves’ for your summer soirees.
Every good outdoor space is done best with a few key components. That means comfy seating, atmospheric lighting, a place to wine + dine, and a little something special… keep reading 😉
Up first, that comfy seating. Feature loungers to catch those rays, sofas to snuggle with a loved one, + accent chairs for a nice book on the patio. And don’t forget to actually ground the space with a simple tonal, outdoor rug! Here are some of our favorite outdoor vibes.

Time to wine + dine with a new outdoor dining table. What’s a backyard barbecue with a place to eat? A dining table, large or on the smaller size, really starts to tie an outdoor space together. Add in chairs or mix it up with a bench and watch it all come to life.

Ready for that ‘something special’ we promised? A *fire pit*. Yes, we know the nights are already toasty but let’s turn the heat up! Grab the marshmallows or pour yourself a drink and let the ambiance take over. Fire pits elevate an outdoor hang and bring life to the party once the sun goes down. Plus, who doesn’t look good in the romantic fire glow?
