Do you feel that in the air? It’s officially getting warmer, which means we’re storing away bulky sweaters and opening up the windows to enjoy some extra fresh air. After being tucked inside the past few months, we’re ready to get outdoors — which makes it the perfect time to transform even the smallest outdoor space into an oasis.
Yes, it’s time to give that space the update it deserves — whether it’s a balcony, enclosed patio, a complete backyard, or a patch of green concealed behind your apartment building. To guide you on your way toward outdoor bliss, we found 10 items from IKEA that you’ll need to refresh and revamp. From cushion covers to sun-shielding umbrellas, these products will help transform any alfresco area into a more pleasant, comfortable place to lounge. The best part? You won’t break the bank with any of these IKEA picks, so shop the cream of the warm-weather crop below.
