As an interior designer, here’s my best pro advice: spice up your summer with some new patio furniture and outdoor accessories (hammock, anyone?). It will encourage you to spend more time in the fresh air, inspire friends and family to gather and, frankly, expand your square footage. It may be unexpected, but Walmart has some fabulous options that look high-end but have low-budget prices. Plus, right now, during their Walmart Deals summer event, they’re offering some impressive sales — up to 70% off — on everything from lounges to full-service seating and dining sets.
While you’re at it, don’t neglect the details that will warm your space — I’m a big fan of this lovely fire pit, which is down to $70 (was $200), and these Adirondack chairs that are just $90 a pop. Check out some of my favorites below, then peruse Walmart’s site for more exciting deals.
I’m swooning over the modern styling of this Adirondack chair — it’s sleek and sexy and will look great on your porch or by the pool. Made of high-density resin, it’s built to last. At this price, you can grab two (or even four) to really elevate your outdoor space. Choose from 14 fun colors.
“We bought four of these chairs for sitting around our fire pit and we just love them. They are heavy, very sturdy and easy to assemble following the directions,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “We put cushions on them so they’re very comfortable. A bonus is that they also fold making storage much easier.”
If you’re looking for a one-and-done option for your backyard, I’ve found it — this conversation set seats five and includes two ottomans and a fire pit. Beige cushions keep it looking sharp and the neutral color matches with all types of outdoor decor. Made of weatherproof, hand-woven rattan, It’s the perfect place to gather on summer days (and nights).
“So happy with our new outdoor furniture,” wrote a thrilled fan. “The wicker is strong and durable. Cushions are comfortable and easy to maintain. The fire pit is gorgeous and works very well.”
This furniture foursome is perfect for a yard redo or a poolside space that could use a pick-me-up. Made of hand-woven rattan with thick cushions that protect your joints and back, this set’s seats are sure to provide comfort during your backyard kickbacks. Plus, the matching coffee table is the perfect resting place for wine glasses, your tablet or a Bluetooth speaker.
“I love this set! It’s actually nicer in person than in the picture,” a customer noted. “Assembly was fairly easy. For the loveseat, it’s best if two people do it but the rest is easy for one person. I am very happy with this purchase!”
Take shelter from the summer sun with this mega-wide shade-bringer. There are nine colors to choose from, so you’re bound to find a match for your outdoor furniture — it’s also fade-proof, windproof and water-resistant. Score!
“Had this for a couple of months in the North Texas heat and sun — no fading,” said a satisfied customer. “We do put it down when it’s not in use and it needs weights or sandbags to keep in place, but it has done the job.”
How’s this for a deal: You can save over $500 on this comfy outdoor sectional. The pieces can be arranged in multiple different ways depending on the layout of your backyard and the cushion covers are washable for easy maintenance. Tuck garden tools and pillows away in the storage box or use it as a cooler.
“I love my new outdoor patio furniture. It’s sturdy and the cushions are thick and comfy. We had company for the weekend and everyone loved the set and wanted to know where we got it from!” exclaimed a pleased purchaser.
I adore the sharp, modern and minimalist design of this dark-colored outdoor dining set. It screams weeknight dinner or weekend barbecue! The steel-framed, weather-resistant set comes with a long rectangular table and six stackable chairs. There’s an umbrella hole, too, for your favorite shade. Add an outdoor rug to complete the look.
“We live in the Phoenix heat so I wanted something durable that we could also stack in the summer to get out of the heat. These fit the bill — very clean lines and a nice modern look,” said a thrilled buyer.
Save $270 on this outdoor furniture bundle — a simple pair of chairs with a glass-top end table. Made of that ever-durable resin wicker, this set appeals to those with a small space to fill. It’s perfect for balconies, front porches or tight corners of your deck. At this price, you can also grab two sets and extend your seating areas. Other cushion colors are available, but I love the black against the bright greens of the outdoors.
“My chairs are in the hot Las Vegas desert sun and still look brand new,” wrote a fan. “The cushions are a perfect thickness — definitely not thin — and they have a zipper for easy washing. Everything is very sturdy and well-made.”
Don’t forget the charm and comfort of a backyard hammock while sprucing up your yard. It is, after all, the quintessential way to enjoy the lazy days of summer. This bestseller comes with its own stand and pulls together in minutes, giving you more time to relax. An accompanying travel bag makes it easy to pack away when not in use.
“This hammock is amazing and comfortable. I can read my books and feel calm,” said a relaxed reviewer.
This fire pit (nearly 70% off) immediately caught our eye — in addition to keeping you warm on those chilly nights, it can be used as a BBQ grill and ice bucket too. There’s a mesh lid to prevent burning embers from blowing and the faux stone will look pretty in your backyard.
“Very nice outdoor addition to our patio,” said an impressed shopper. “It’s perfect for entertaining but cozy for just the two of us. Love the look when not using but it’s ready and easy to throw some wood into and have a fun night.”
If you’ve not had the pleasure of trying a zero-gravity chair, now’s your opportunity. At a mere $38 a pop, this pair will be coveted on your patio or deck. Sit back, relax and go weightless in one of five colors.
More than 1,500 Walmart shoppers give the duo five stars. “The chairs recline back fully and stay in place. The adjustable pillow and detachable drink/remote/whatever holder are nice to have! They also fold down nicely,” said one.
