Spring is the perfect time to start anew. The coming weather means winter is ending, and soon, the sun will come out to play. It also means spring cleaning is on the horizon, and our outdoor spaces are the first to prepare when it comes to getting ready for spring and summer. Consider switching up the look of your backyard patio with new outdoor furniture, including patio seating, tables and furniture sets. Learn more about the furniture pieces Tractor Supply offers to add charm and flair to your space this season.
Outdoor Seating
When making over your outdoor space, you must think about how you’re going to use it. Do you have plenty of room to host fun family barbecues and parties? Maybe you need something smaller to give you and a friend somewhere nice to sit and chat outdoors. Before buying outdoor seating, you must find something that not only fits your space, but also gives you enough room for all of your guests to sit and relax.
Adirondack Chairs
Whether you have a cozy cabin or beachside house, Adirondack chairs are an ideal choice for those wanting sit back, relax and lounge comfortably in nature. These chairs are designed to sit lower than traditional options, and they feature a more reclined chair back to promote comfort. Made with wood or plastic materials, these add a rustic, charming appearance anywhere you put them.
Patio Rocking Chairs and Swings
Rocking chairs are a classic choice for your front porch or backyard patio, and remain popular for rustic, woodsy home designs. Instead of traditional legs, such as with typical chair constructions, rocking chairs come with a flat, slightly curved piece underneath the legs to allow for a gentle, back-and-forth rocking motion.
If you’re looking for something with more swinging power, but still want to add rustic charm to your outdoor space, try out a patio swing. These types of chairs install either from the top of your patio on a durable beam or from its own frame, meaning they require more thoughtful installation to ensure they’re safe for guests to use.
Patio Benches and Gliders
Patio benches are ideal for any size backyard space, working to add comfortable seating and rustic charm. Put one on your front or back porch to give guests somewhere to relax and recharge. These also look great scattered throughout yard spaces, such as in gardens, underneath trees or other areas.
The best part about patio benches is that many of them are multifunctional, doubling as outdoor storage furniture. These pieces come with liftable seats so you can store pillows, cushions and a variety of accessories with ease.
If you’re looking for something with soothing movements, consider a glider, which rocks similarly to rocking chairs. Gliders come in bench-like designs, meaning you can still add rustic charm with these chairs. They’re also an ideal alternative for backyard setups that won’t accommodate swing installation.
Hammocks
Hammocks are special in that they add a cozy look to any space you set them up in, giving guests different ways to lounge, relax and interact with nature. These types of loungers either hang from two trees or from a base frame, allowing setups to swing side-to-side. Hammocks are perfect for enjoying a good book in the fresh air, and work to give your backyard a unique touch.
Patio Sofas and Sectionals
When you need plenty of seating to host a variety of guests but don’t want to spend money on individual chairs, such as with a dining set, consider implementing a sofa or patio sectional in your backyard space. Find many sofa options, including loveseats, as well as three- or four-seat sofas, to accommodate as many as four or five people.
Sectionals feature added sofa space and footrests, giving couch setups an L-shape design and offering even more area to lounge. While sofas and sectionals may take up more space on your patio, this also means you can spend less making over your outdoor area.
Lounge Chairs and Patio Chaise Lounges
No backyard is complete without a suitable, comfortable place to lounge, meaning patio lounge chairs are a must-have to give your area exactly what it needs. Wicker lounge chairs are a popular choice among homeowners, made with woven materials to add texture and flair to your backyard. Complete with cushions, these chairs allow for total relaxation while giving your space visual appeal.
Chaise lounges are another versatile and comfortable choice, working to add a dramatic, luxurious touch to your outdoor space. Set them up by the pool for comfortable sun tanning and poolside relaxing.
Patio Ottomans
From small patios to larger backyard setups, patio ottomans are a versatile, multifunctional option. Not only do they work great as footrests to add comfort to your existing patio area, but they also act as extra seating for times when you run out of space for everyone to sit. Typically designed without a chair back, you can easily slide these furniture pieces underneath coffee tables to keep them out of the way when you’re not using them.
Patio Daybeds
If you’re looking for a statement-making piece for your backyard, consider purchasing a patio daybed. Daybeds are designed similar to couches, but they come in a larger size so you can lay around and lounge just as you would in your bedroom. Find options with added canopies built over the top, allowing for ample shade and cooling relaxation.
Outdoor Tables
The next step in finding the right outdoor furniture for your space involves thinking about tables to pair with your new chairs. While patio tables should be functional and usable, you also want to make sure they match your existing decor and furnishings, as this will add harmony and flow throughout your backyard’s design. The different types of patio tables include:
Accent and Side Tables
Even if you only have space for one or two chairs, you should always have a side table to complete your patio space setup. Having one allows you to set down drinks, food, your phone and other trinkets so you can comfortably lounge and talk with loved ones. As a general rule, you should have at least one side table for every two chairs on your patio or porch space.
Bar-Height Tables
Whether you prefer an elevated point of view or you want to utilize your space more efficiently, bar-height tables are an ideal choice. As their name suggests, these tables are as tall as a typical bar and can be paired with outdoor bar stools, giving you a spot to enjoy snacks and drinks while enjoying the fresh air.
Bistro Tables
Found in a range of sizes and styles, bistro tables are versatile and can be used in several ways. Pair a smaller bistro table with your favorite chair for a stylish take on an accent, side or corner table. Or, you can find bistro tables large enough to sit around and share a meal with a loved one.
Coffee Tables
While many people have coffee tables in their living rooms and other spaces, many forget the convenience of having an outdoor coffee table. Outdoor coffee tables look best when paired with patio sofas or sectionals, creating a designated area to promote conversation and interaction. For larger patio spaces, coffee tables can give guests a place to rest their legs or put down their drinks and snacks while they chat. For smaller porch setups, they can double as a dining table so everyone can kick back and enjoy some food fresh off the grill.
Dining Tables
If you’re someone who loves to host gatherings or enjoy outdoor meals with the family, a smaller outdoor table might not do. Patio dining tables bring the indoor dining room experience to your deck or patio, giving you plenty of space to lay out a mouthwatering BBQ spread or kitchen-cooked meal.
Outdoor Bars
Make your backyard the talk of the town and the best place to host gatherings with an outdoor bar setup. Some of these tables are designed with built-in coolers, allowing you to keep beverages cold and ready for guests to grab. The added counterspace on top of the bar gives you enough room to prepare drinks, and they’re made with easy-to-clean materials, such as wicker or plastic.
Picnic Tables
Whether you have little ones that want to use the outdoor table for lunchtime or coloring, or need a rustic decor piece to tie your vision together, picnic tables come in many sizes, styles and designs to add character to your space. Benches are attached to the table to allow for easy maneuverability around your yard, and you can find options with built-in drink coolers in the center of the table for added convenience.
Patio Furniture Sets
If you want to give your outdoor area a much-needed update, but don’t want to buy all sorts of separate furniture pieces, an outdoor furniture set is your solution. These sets include everything you need to outfit your backyard, including seating and tables, in matching designs to give your patio a uniform, visually appealing look. Depending on how you plan to use your backyard and how much space you have, different table and chair sets work better for various activities and gatherings.
Conversation Sets
Just like their name, conversation sets are intended to promote conversation, bonding with others and spending time with one another. But part of that involves being comfortable and feeling like you’re at home, which is where a conversation set comes in. These types of patio furniture sets include a sofa, as well as some accent chairs and a coffee table, so everyone can gather around, relax and talk to each other. Make the space your own by adding accent pillows and decorative lighting.
Dining Sets
Dining sets are great for those looking to host large meals and gatherings outdoors, offering plenty of room for guests to spread out and comfortably enjoy their breakfast, lunch or dinner. These sets usually include patio dining chairs, as well as a spacious dining table so everyone can enjoy. Depending on your needs, you can find options that seat anywhere from six to eight people, or even more.
But maybe you’re someone who loves to host occasionally, and don’t always need a large dining table setup. In this case, opt for a dining set with an extendable table, allowing you to customize dining configurations whenever you need. If you’re looking to bring the cozy vibes of indoor dining outdoors, choose a wooden dining set.
Small Space Sets
Small space sets typically include one smaller bistro table and a couple of chairs, making them perfect for smaller backyard spaces, such as breakfast nooks, balconies or small apartment patios. Wrought iron materials add a charming, whimsical appearance, and are a classic choice for these types of patio sets.
To add comfort and style, many setups feature decorative cushions and accent pillows, which you can switch out and customize based on your tastes and preferences. With options for standard and balcony heights, you can find something that suits your space exactly as you envision it.
Bar-Height Sets
Elevate your backyard setup with a bar-height set, complete with patio bar stools and bar-height tables. These are especially great for smaller patios that won’t accommodate larger furniture, with tall table designs offering enough room to store bar stools and other items underneath, saving space and working as a multifunctional furniture piece. Bar tables can also be used as buffet tables, allowing guests to grab food with ease.
Fire Pit Sets
If you’re someone who loves relaxing by the fire at night, purchase a furniture set that includes an outdoor fire pit. These sets not only come with the fire pit, but also matching chairs, tables and sofas to complete the space. Adding a fire pit to your patio also allows you to use your backyard area longer than just spring and summer. They add a warm element to spaces that make it perfect for enjoying chilly fall weather.
Other Accessories You Need for Spring
Accessories are the perfect way to add character and personality to your outdoor space, especially when shopping for cushions and outdoor throw pillows. These come in many colors, designs and styles, each designed to show off your personal style and flair. Find options in your favorite bright colors, or, choose a fun design to add a unique touch.
If your patio gets a lot of sunlight during the day, you may need other accessories to keep it shaded and comfortable for you and guests to lounge and relax. In this case, you should consider getting an umbrella, one large enough to cover furniture sets and backyard patios to ensure all spaces are sun-free. Some dining tables feature built-in umbrella holes, making it easy to secure umbrellas to dining sets and keep guests comfortable.
You can’t forget about outdoor storage when it comes to our patio pieces. Benches and other patio storage furniture allow you to store all your cushions and pillows when it rains, and keeps items readily available for easy setup once storms pass. You should also have patio furniture covers to protect furniture pieces from rain and other debris when you’re not using them.
