By Jessica Ourisman | June 16, 2020

With summer weather already here, if you have a yard or a terrace, the time for sprucing is now.

“No matter the size of your outdoor space, we encourage you to create an experience for yourself,” explains Sormeh Salimpour, Creative Director of Sormeh Lifestyle. By using the philosophy that no space is too quaint to become fabulous, a few intentional changes can turn your backyard or terrace into a real-life self-care refuge.

To get started, here are 20 products to make your porch or balcony the coziest space in your home.

Lampat 25ft G40 Globe String Lights with Bulbs $18.95

“String lights add warmth and romance to any outdoor space. Not to mention, [they provide] better soft lighting,” she continues. These strings of forty outdoor lights with vintage-inspired bulbs are best-sellers on Amazon.

Swingasan Collection Willow Sand Hanging Chair $239.99

A self-standing, hanging chair is what our porch dreams are made of. “Invest in beautiful and functional outdoor furniture, including cushions,” says Salimpour. Whether you read a book, meditate, or journal, being cocooned away in your wicker paradise with a mug of coffee will add to the experience.

In2green Eco Woven Lines Throw $165

These recycled cotton and mostly-recycled nylon throws are so cute we’d wear them like wraps around a campfire (or candle if you’re on a patio).

Novice Garden of Bali Wood Wall Mirror $59.49

“Do not be afraid to make your outdoor space an extension of your interior. Add a mirror or a pair of sconces on your wall or wooden fence,” says Salimpour. Have fun with it.

Anthropologie Soleil Beach Umbrella $298

After getting your fix of vitamin D, seek shelter from the sun under this way-cute beach umbrella that blocks 98% of UV rays! “When you invest in quality pieces, it saves you more money in the long run,” she reasons. “We believe in quality, not quantity.” P.S. Don’t forget to buy a stand.

West Elm Succulents (Set of 3) $25-37

Choose between small or large succulents, and have a set of three shipped anywhere in the United States. These low-maintenance cuties are the perfect way to get your career as a “plant mom” started. Salimpour also suggests keeping fresh flowers on your outdoor table.

Terrain Tinted Glass Plant Mister $16

Salimpour encourages you to have fun with your plant collection, growing herbs, raising succulents, and keeping a vase of fresh flowers to freshen things up. Tending to your plant babies will never feel like a chore when using a fanciful, rose-lensed plant mister.
