13 Products That Will Make You Want to Live Outside

Jan 12, 2024

Make the most of your backyard with furniture you love.

The season of alfresco dining is upon us! We celebrate any opportunity to make use of outdoor space and ensure our home looks chic while doing so. From weatherproof furniture to high-quality accessories, transforming your backyard into an oasis is all about the decor.

To help facilitate this transition, we've rounded up some of our favorites from Williams Sonoma Home. This summer, you'll find us lounging on comfortable seating, hosting friends around big dining tables, lighting up fire pits for cocktail parties, and grilling for every single meal. Shop below to bring some of our picks into your home.

Take your meals outside on this easy-to-clean table. It has plenty of seating for those who love to entertain, and its fiberstone top and aluminum legs make it both lighter than it looks and weather-resistant. Thanks to the neutral color, pairing the table with an all-weather rug becomes an easy solution for stylish backyard entertaining.

We love this teak sectional for its versatility. It lets you customize your seating for your needs, by mixing and matching the armless sofa, corner chair, left one-arm sofa, and right one-arm sofa pieces. Complete the look with optional seat cushions and throw pillows.

Center your outdoor coffee breaks and evening happy hours around a grand coffee table like this textured option. Round things out with comfortable matching chairs—also available at Williams Sonoma Home—and personal touches like a weatherproof area rug or a sun-blocking umbrella.

There are ample options in the fire-pit space these days, but we’re partial to this modern table with one built in. Available in three hues, it has a sleek midcentury design that’ll look great in any backyard. The empty space can also function as a table for drinks, snacks, or s’mores supplies. Choose between models that use two different types of fuel sources—bioethanol and liquid propane.

If you prefer your fire pit to have a more rustic, organic look, center your seating around this cozy, hand-cast fire bowl with natural-gas and propane fuel options. Style the area with side tables for drinks and snacks, chairs with natural finishes, and throw pillows that speak to your personality.

If you’re like us in wanting to eat every summer meal outdoors, you’ll make great use of this prep table with storage drawers and built-in ice bins. Upgrade grilling season by stocking it with everything you need—from grilling tools to chilled prosecco.

Ready for a full outdoor kitchen? This Urban Bonfire setup is for you. Endlessly customizable, it includes storage, a built-in trash disposal, a Twin Eagle grill and refrigerator (or refrigerated drawers), Dekton countertops, and more. Plus, its sleek design fits perfectly into any yard.

For easy-to-stow seating, opt for stacking chairs that can live in an unobtrusive corner when not needed. We like these—which have optional cushions available in six colors—for their form and function. Their simple stacking design is efficient while also maintaining a modern aesthetic.

We love a comfy armchair, and we really love a comfy armchair outdoors. This on-trend teak model swivels for 360-degree views of your well-decorated patio, and you can customize the look by choosing from five different color options for the cushions.

For some additional seating, arrange thoughtfully designed chaise longues alongside the pool or in a lovely, sunny patch in your yard. We love this one for its built-in table, which keeps sunscreen, water, and snacks handy all day long.

A more compact chaise option, this version has five reclining height options and is crafted from durable rope for extra comfort. Deck it out with beautiful Turkish towels and stylish all-weather throws for a showstopping seating area your guests will love.

Don't forget to decorate! These macramé pillow covers, hand-knit by skilled artisans, add texture and color to outdoor seating. Place them on couches, chaise longues, dining chairs, or whatever you like for a homey, personal touch.

For a more modern angle, opt for these striped pillows in one of four colors. Their weather-resistant fabric makes them the perfect final touch for your chic yet low-maintenance backyard.
