Big, small, full of grass, or covered in stone, each of our backyards is a place to be celebrated. From Saturday night barbecues with the family, to Sundays spent soaking up the sun, you want to enjoy the space you have with the time you have. And with the weather getting nicer every day, it’s time to start thinking about how you can turn your space into a total oasis.

From patio furniture to garden sculptures to party lights, each of these items will transform your backyard and change the way you spend time at home. Although we’re partial to being at the cottage with every free minute we have, we’d never want to neglect our second sanctuary. Take a look through our must-have backyard items and let us know what you’ll be adding to your space.
