5 Backyard Décor Ideas for This Summer

With summer kicking off on June 20, it’s the perfect time to make your escape to your backyard getaway! Having a beautiful and comfortable outdoor living space helps you and your guests experience summer to the fullest. For many DIY home improvement pros out there, this season is the perfect time to remodel your patio, transform your terrace, and put together the perfect escape for fun times with friends and family.

Looking for some inspiration for your next project? Here are 5 décor ideas that can help elevate your backyard patio and elevate your outdoor living this season.

Comfortable Outdoor Chaise Lounge Chairs (with Cushions!)

Grab a book, pour a drink, and soak in some sun! Outdoor chaise lounges are the perfect option for those interested in laying out and catching some rays. Outdoor chaise lounge chairs come in a wide variety of metals and woods, providing plenty of options that cater to your style. Most outdoor chaise lounges feature multiple reclining levels to find your perfect comfort level. Outdoor chaise lounge cushions are where comfort meets style, delivering a look that matches the rest of your outdoor living space and provides comfort while you’re enjoying the fresh air.

Add Outdoor Seating for the Whole Family

Whether you’re having family over for the summer holidays or hosting a party with friends, you never want to be caught without enough seats for the whole crowd. Treat your outdoor living space like a blank art canvas – you can make it into anything that you want it to be! Rustic outdoor benches, elegant dining sets, outdoor wicker chairs, and more create a relaxing experience for you and your guests. Deep seating outdoor cushions for chaise lounges, ottomans, wicker seating, and more deliver even greater comfort all season long. You’ll fall in love with your seats (and your guests won’t be able to wait to come back!)

Install Outdoor Umbrellas That Last

Enjoying the summer sun may be fun, but everyone loves a nice shady space to cool down and take a little siesta. Did you know that sitting under an umbrella can make it feel 10 to 15 degrees cooler? Umbrellas are the ultimate accent piece for your patio, providing a quick escape from the hot summer temperatures. They may feel great, but they look even better – Cushion Connection has over 400 umbrella fabrics to create the perfect accent to your space. When you’re investing in an umbrella, durability should be your top priority. Picking up a budget umbrella may last for the summer months, but they’re more likely to deteriorate quickly from general wear and tear. Well-designed umbrellas that are backed by reliable craftsmanship may cost slightly more than the clearance competitor, but you’ll be enjoying their cool shade and beautiful design for years to come.

Bring Poolside Seating with Pool Stools

Adding a pool stool (or two!) to your outdoor furniture set makes a huge difference in your backyard patio décor! Coming in a huge variety of colors, pool stools are great for kicking your feet up, acting as a side table for your drinks and snacks, or even as some seating around the pool or fire pit. Made with highly dense foam wrapped in polyester, covered in a custom slipcover created from any of Cushion Connection’s fabric options. Water-resistant and weather-treated, pool stools are an accessory that you’ll love in every season.

Add Privacy with Outdoor Curtain Panels

Creating a more private outdoor space doesn’t take an add-on to your home – outdoor curtains are perfect for the job. Escape from the summer sun and keep the cool breeze with a design that matches your furniture and your vision. Beautiful and durable, outdoor curtain panels add elegance to your veranda, terrace, or patio while maintaining that open-air feel that makes backyard living so lovely. Whether you’re taking brunch outside or spending a fantastic evening outdoors, outdoor curtains will deliver the comfort and privacy that you deserve in every area of your home.
