Summer Staycation Must-Haves

Finally – summer is here!

But while everyone you know is scrambling to book vacations (and dealing with airport chaos), why not book a summer getaway in your own backyard?

You don’t have to switch up your surroundings just to feel like you’re on vacation. With the right outdoor furniture setup, your patio, deck, or backyard can become that dreamy resort you've been craving.

We're talking about creating a space so comfortable and inviting that you'll forget you're even at home. But how do you pick the right outdoor furniture to give your home that away-from-home vibe?

Let’s look at some of the best outdoor furniture that will help you relax without leaving the driveway – no frequent flier miles required.

 

Must-Have Seating for Outdoor Lounging

The heart of any great staycation setup is a good set of seating. While you could opt for a few folding chairs and a beach towel, we think you deserve something you can really sink into.

Adirondacks: The Ultimate Comfort Champion

The Cape Folding and Reclining Adirondack Chair is basically the Swiss Army knife of outdoor relaxation.

Multiple recline positions mean you can go from upright morning coffee mode to full-on afternoon nap position without moving. Plus, it folds up when you need the space back – perfect for when you're not in vacation mode.

If getting in and out of traditional low chairs is a challenge, the Waterfall Comfort Height Adirondack Chair is another great option.

 

The higher seat makes it comfortable for everyone, while still giving you that classic Adirondack relaxation experience.

The Gentle Sway of Pure Bliss

When you’re ready for some movement, nothing sets a vacation tone like a nice quality porch swing!

There’s nothing better than watching the sunset or enjoying your summer book club pick in a gently rocking swing – and the Bahia Verde Riverside Porch Swing is your ticket to a daily mini-vacation.

 

Contoured seats, thoughtful ergonomics, and that perfect balance of support and comfort mean you can actually spend hours outside without feeling like you need to move every twenty minutes.

 

Outdoor Dining Done Right

Imagine how impressed your friends and family will be when you invite them over for some resort-quality dinners on the lawn. While the menu is up to you, you can scratch outdoor dining sets off the list with these great ideas:

Sophisticated Alfresco Dining

There's something about eating outside that just makes food taste better. Maybe it's the fresh air… or maybe it's just that everything feels more relaxed when you're not worried about crumbs on the carpet.

The key is having beautiful furniture to make every meal feel intentional, but durable enough that you don't stress about leaving it outside when unexpected weather rolls in.

The Haven Modern Dining Set turns any outdoor meal into something intentionally elevated. Clean lines and contemporary styling mean your backyard barbecues suddenly feel more like sophisticated dinner parties.

 

Plus, this set is easy to clean and maintain, so you can bet that they’ll keep looking like the day you bought them years from now.

 

Cozy Up with Conversation Sets & Fire Pit Tables

Resort vibes aren't just about individual comfort – they're about creating spaces where connection happens naturally, whether it’s an intimate moment or just a fun night with friends and family.

The Perfect Conversation Starter

If you want a one-and-done cozy space, get the complete package. This Riverside Garden Bench and Conversation Table Set turns any part of your lawn into an instant gathering spot.

The mix of seating options – a bench for couples or close friends, individual chairs for everyone else – makes the space feel naturally social. Add them around a fire pit or fire table to make the moment even cozier!

But what about when it’s a bit too hot? Check out our guide on staying cool in your outdoor space for even more ideas on beating the heat while maintaining those vacation vibes.

What you want is a space that works no matter what time of day you want to use it. Morning yoga session? Covered. Afternoon reading marathon? You're set.

 

Finishing Touches That Make All the Difference

The difference between "nice outdoor furniture" and "feels like a resort" is often in the details.

The Adirondack Large Side Table might seem like a small addition, but it's actually huge for functionality. Having a spot for anything you need within arm's reach lets you settle in and relax.

The Folding Adirondack Ottoman takes comfort to the next level – because once you've experienced putting your feet up while lounging outside, there's no going back. Plus, it folds away when you need the space for other activities.

 

Don't underestimate the power of outdoor pillows and throws in fun summer patterns or tropical prints – they're like the difference between a hotel room and a boutique resort.

 

Furniture That Works for Every Space

Not everyone has acres of backyard space, but that doesn't mean you can't create an amazing staycation setup. The key is choosing pieces that maximize your space instead of overwhelming it.

The Shoreline 3-Piece Bar Height Balcony Set proves you don't need a massive space to create resort vibes. Perfect for balconies, small patios, or even urban backyards, this set gives you elevated dining without overwhelming the space.

Sometimes the best staycation setup isn't about hosting big gatherings – it's about having a spot where you and someone special can just enjoy each other's company and the fresh air. The Riverside Rocking Chair and Side Table create a perfect little retreat for two.
