Warmer weather, bluer skies ... do my eyes deceive me or is summer finally upon us?! I'm sure there are a few more 60-degree days up ahead, don't get me wrong, but for the most part, it seems we're moving into full beach mode — thank god.
In celebration of this glorious equinox, I'm turning my attention toward the slew of incoming outdoor furniture drops from all of the best home decor brands. Today, we're talking about outdoor furniture at Pottery Barn, one of my favorite retailers in the game and one of the best places to shop patio accents galore. Because you have the elements to account for, shopping for outdoor furniture can vary quite a bit from shopping for indoor furniture; the considerations you need make are quite different. At this store, however, the only thing you need to think about is pressing 'add to cart', especially during the Pottery Barn sale (you can find more outdoor furniture sale info on our dedicated page, by the way). The rest is taken care of.
Whatever you're shopping for, I've narrowed your search down to three excellent selections per product category in hopes of easing the decision fatigue that inevitably takes over during big-ticket purchases. But that's just Livingetc for ya — you're always on our mind!
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Coffee Tables
The Pomona is the ideal minimalist coffee table — that gorgeous contrast between the acacia wood legs and the concrete top is enough said.
Price: $1299
The Marsh features a Brutalist-inspired design fashioned out of aluminum. What we're left with is a modern coffee table that, despite being brand new, appears properly loved and worn down.
Price: $999
Easy — with its rockface-like exterior, the Bolinas is practically telling you it belongs outside. A stone coffee table for the ages.
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Armchairs
Price: $1799
My favorite part of the Miley is how the frame extends outward in the back for a comfortable and sculptural touch.
Price: $1699
Modern and minimalist perfection. The frame of the Beldon bends and curves as though it was melded from one panel, while the empty space around the seat cushion offers a clever illusion.
Price: $1699
Likewise, the Encinitas rocking chair is nothing if not a design play. To me, a piece like this instantly telegraphs that you are serious about your love of design.
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Sofas
It's that traditional outdoor sofa, but with a twist — if you look closely, you'll see that the back is curved and somewhat bloated, adding a whimsical touch to what's otherwise quite classic.
Price: $5499
I'm loving the single-cushion look here. And the teak wood frame is minimalist, timeless, and reminiscent of a spa or resort. Who wouldn't want to channel those vibes for their backyard?
Price: $1499
A metal sofa for the patio? A tale as old as time. This iteration above is on the tip of the iceberg when it comes to possible color and fabric combinations here. An aspiring designer's dream!
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Dining Tables
This could be more of a casual dinner venue should you choose, but it would also work fabulously as your main dining center if that's how you justify the price tag. Ideal summer vibes and incredibly practical for years to come (especially if you have kids!).
Price: $2399
This large table looks like its wood, but its actually metal — meaning it's 'lightweight, low maintenance, and supremely durable.' All the style, none of the hassle.
A round dining table is good for backyard oases big and small. Start here, and build the rest of your dinner set-up around it.
Best Pottery Barn Outdoor Daybeds and Chaises
I can already picture the sunburn I'd get falling asleep on this gorgeous swivel daybed — but could you blame me for never wanting to leave?
Price: $1999
Fluid and sleek. this chaise lounge should qualify as a piece of art if not a piece of furniture. If anything, it sits firmly at the center of that Venn diagram.
Price: $2499
It wouldn't be difficult to imagine yourself a guest of The White Lotus if it meant sipping a cocktail on this low-profile teak chaise lounge (also available in three other cushion colors!).
