Warmer weather, bluer skies ... do my eyes deceive me or is summer finally upon us?! I'm sure there are a few more 60-degree days up ahead, don't get me wrong, but for the most part, it seems we're moving into full beach mode — thank god.
In celebration of this glorious equinox, I'm turning my attention toward the slew of incoming outdoor furniture drops from all of the best home decor brands. Today, we're talking about outdoor furniture at Pottery Barn, one of my favorite retailers in the game and one of the best places to shop patio accents galore. Because you have the elements to account for, shopping for outdoor furniture can vary quite a bit from shopping for indoor furniture; the considerations you need make are quite different. At Pottery Barn, however, the only thing you need to think about is pressing 'add to cart.' The rest is taken care of.
Whatever you're shopping for, I've narrowed your search down to three excellent selections per product category in hopes of easing the decision fatigue that inevitably takes over during big-ticket purchases. But that's just Livingetc for ya — you're always on our mind!
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Coffee Tables
Pomona Concrete & Acacia Outdoor Coffee Table
The Pomona is the ideal minimalist coffee table — that gorgeous contrast between the acacia wood legs and the concrete top is enough said.
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Armchairs
Miley Wicker Outdoor Lounge Chair
Price: $1799
My favorite part of the Miley is how the frame extends outward in the back for a comfortable and sculptural touch.
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Sofas
Gideon Outdoor Sofa
It's that traditional outdoor sofa, but with a twist — if you look closely, you'll see that the back is curved and somewhat bloated, adding a whimsical touch to what's otherwise quite classic.
Dawn Teak Outdoor Sofa
Price: $5499
I'm loving the single-cushion look here. And the teak wood frame is minimalist, timeless, and reminiscent of a spa or resort. Who wouldn't want to channel those vibes for their backyard?
Malibu Metal Outdoor Sofa
Price: $1499
A metal sofa for the patio? A tale as old as time. This iteration above is on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to possible color and fabric combinations here. An aspiring designer's dream!
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Dining Tables
Indio Eucalyptus Outdoor Picnic Table (73")
This could be more of a casual dinner venue should you choose, but it would also work fabulously as your main dining center if that's how you justify the price tag. Ideal summer vibes and incredibly practical for years to come (especially if you have kids!).
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Daybeds and Chaises
Huntington Wicker Round Swivel Outdoor Daybed
I can already picture the sunburn I'd get falling asleep on this gorgeous swivel daybed — but could you blame me for never wanting to leave?
