                                                                                                                                      Image Source: @merrylbrownevents

Since today is officially the first day of summer I'd thought that I would kick things off by giving you a little guide to my favourite outdoor furniture pieces. I tried to keep this list budget-friendly and only managed to slip one item with a higher price point (it happens!). I hope this list gives you some inspiration for your outdoor living area! Keep reading to see what I chose. 

1. The bistro set

Let's start off with the classic bistro set. It is so timeless and it works in any situation, whether you have a large outdoor living area or just a balcony. They come in so many different styles and colours now, so it's really easy to find one that suits your personal style. This particular one from Ikea is a very simple design at such an affordable price! I would recommend checking Ikea out for Bistro sets since they have a good selection of styles at a great price.

2. Patio dining set

This is another favourite and loved piece of patio furniture. Great for entertaining or relaxing it is another staple for outdoor living. I've chosen a set from Jysk and it is so AFFORDABLE for what you get! This set seats 

3. Pool side lounging

For those of you that have a pool, lounging, or getting a tan then you need to get a chaise or recliner! My two choices for chaises are from Restoration Hardware and they both happen to be on sale right now! It is rare that in-season pieces are on sale at RH right now, so it's time to snap them up! They are a little pricier when it comes to outdoor furniture, but they are made of higher quality and you can customize the finish of the frame and the cushion material. For the price you also get custom upholstery which is such a STEAL! 

4. Fire pits & Seating

There are so many options for fire pits that it can almost be overwhelming to make sure you've chosen the right piece for your overall look. I've picked out one that can easily go with anything, whatever your style may be. This fire pit is from Lowe's and is only $99! Such a great find! You can't have a campfire without some nice seating, right?! I chose to keep it cost effective by going with some benches from Ikea. This bench is $75 and is adds the perfect amount of texture for that outdoorsy feel. 

5. Classic benches

Benches are a staple outdoor seating piece and they look so perfect on a fronch porch. This bench is made out of steel and is durable for whatever weather you may face. The price for this is amazing and is only $138! This would look so cute with planters nearby or even underneath a tree.
