Best Choice Products Pedestal Copper Bird Bath
One of the many surprises I encountered in adulthood was the steep prices of bird baths. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find this copper bird bath at Home Depot, which adds style to my backyard and fits my budget at just $40. Just remember to keep it clean and refresh the water regularly to ensure it’s safe for all your feathered friends to visit.
StyleWell Oakshire 3-Piece Wicker Outdoor Patio Conversation Set with Tan Cushions
Patio furniture is another outdoor item that can be super expensive, depending on where you shop. If you’re looking for something small, stylish, and affordable, you can’t go wrong with this three-piece conversation set. I love the neutral colors, which pair well with various decor styles.
KANTE 21.7 in. Tall Pure White Lightweight Concrete Outdoor Round Bowl Planter
This stylish planter looks super high-end, so I was impressed to see it at Home Depot. It’s ideal for styling annuals or tall grasses at the front of your house (hello, curb appeal!) or accenting furniture on your back patio. It’s available in several colors, but I love pure white and weathered concrete.
SORRA HOME Sunbrella Ivory with Taupe Rectangular Outdoor Knife Edge Lumbar Pillows
This set of two accent pillows is perfect for a modern and minimalist setup. The simple details are chic, allowing these pillows to be paired with other fun patterns to spice things up.
ARDEN SELECTIONS 16 x 16 Pistachio Botanical Outdoor Throw Pillow, 2-Pack
Accent a neutral sofa or set of patio cushions with this fun set of botanical-printed outdoor pillows. I love the delicate details, and at just $33 for a set of two, you can't go wrong.
nuLOOM Lefebvre Casual Braided Tan 4 ft. x 6 ft. Indoor/Outdoor Patio Area Rug
Outdoor area rugs have to strike a unique balance between functionality and style, which can be challenging. If you’re like me and prefer a more neutral and natural look, then you’ll probably love this option from nuLOOM just as much as I do. I’m also a big fan of the price, with a 4x6-foot rug coming in at under $80.
Winado 56 in. W x 56 in. D x 77 in. H Greenhouse
Outdoor greenhouses are super handy for starting seeds, moving houseplants outdoors, or cultivating outdoor container plants. This walk-in option by Winado strikes the perfect balance between affordability and convenience, offering portability, easy setup and tear down, and several built-in shelves for under $60.
Hampton Bay 22 in. Traditional Black Steel Outdoor Patio Lantern
Lanterns are a great addition to any outdoor seating area, doubling as stylish decor and a functional light source for summer nights on the patio. The best part is that a flameless candle is included for safe operation.
Best Choice Products 6 ft. x 3 ft. x 2 ft. Gray Outdoor Steel Raised Garden Bed Planter Box
If you’re looking for a raised garden bed for your backyard, you can’t do much better than this. I was impressed to see the price of these steel raised garden beds, especially considering how expensive making a DIY wood raised bed can be (speaking from personal experience). Plus, steel beds offer added durability and longevity since they won’t rot or break down as quickly as wood or plastic over time.
Noble House Montreal Light Grey Round Stone Outdoor Side Table
This small outdoor side table is so stylish it just had to make the list. Perfect for small spaces I love the earthy yet modern look it offers, and the hourglass shape is to die for. At just $92, this table looks much more expensive and high-end than it really is.
TIKI 7 Inch Diameter Ceramic Concrete Bowl White
Citronella candles are a must on my patio in the summer so I can enjoy bug-free summer nights outdoors. While regular citronella candles (usually in tin buckets or plastic containers) get the job done, I love that this citronella candle comes in a stylish ceramic concrete bowl so it can add to my patio decor, not take away from it.
Winado Black 3-Piece Wicker Outdoor Bistro Set Armchairs with Washed White Cushion
Another stylish yet affordable find: I love this chic and modern three-piece bistro set. It’s perfect for small decks or front patios. The minimalist design means it can be spruced up with printed throw pillows and a fun rug or left as-is for a sleek look.
Anvil 3-Piece Wood Handle Garden Tool Set
If you don’t have a handheld garden tool set yet, this one is an excellent option. It’s affordable and has the three main tools you’ll need to get you started, whether you stick to container gardening or work in garden beds. Plus, I love that it’s cute and stylish, too, meaning you can leave the tools sitting out amongst your potted plants without worrying about the significant eyesore that may cause.
