On pleasant weather days, whether it's a crisp fall morning or a lazy summer afternoon, a backyard becomes the ultimate bonus room. Aside from being a place to relax under strong sun rays or starry night skies, it's also an extra space for you to showcase your sense of style.
While nature's beauty does a fine job in setting the scene for the space, the right outdoor furniture transforms a backyard into a spot that can give your interiors a run for their money. Think outdoor sofas upholstered with performance fabric so soft, you're surprised it's weather-resistant, or outdoor coffee tables so chicly monolithic in form, they look like they've been carved straight from the earth.
Just like indoors, decor plays a major role in defining an outdoor space – taking a patio from basic to beautiful. Plush pillows will make the sofa feel more restful, and thoughtful side tables bring a level of convenience that feels nothing short of luxe. It's the outdoor lighting, however, that ties everything together – setting the mood and prolonging it well after the sun goes down.

Equally as important as furniture and decor are practical outdoor features – that is, the function-first elements that make the space more livable. A garden trellis is one of them – staked into the ground and complete with climbing ivy, it'll provide shade and double as a privacy screen. Rain chains play a part, too, replacing unsightly gutter downspouts with something much more charming.
It's only fair that your outdoor space – no matter if it's a small terrace or a sprawling garden – looks as design-driven as the rest of your home. These 20 Homes & Gardens hand-picked products can help you bring it there.
