    31 Things From Target That’ll Help Make Your Backyard The Best On The Block

    Grilling season is soon upon us.

    1. An outdoor rug because why let some drab concrete be the star of the show when you can add some eccentric patterning to your patio? I know what you're thinking: Well, smart guy, what if it rains? Not to worry! This rug is designed to be suitable for the indoors and outdoors.

    2. A wicker and metal patio egg chair so you can lounge in style with beautiful wicker in your little egg world. Whether it's in the heat of summer or the ice-cold winter (if you like to literally chill), you can't beat some tropical furniture with a weather-resistant design.

    3. A fire column because even those warm spring days have some perfectly crisp evenings. Firepits can be unattractive when filled with ash, but this column offers a minimal aesthetic and uses propane (and propane accessories) instead of wood.

    4. A day bed to turn your work-from-home lifestyle into your new work-from-backyard office. Enjoy your own half-sized day bed with extreme comfort, whether it's just having a gorgeous lazy day or catching up on emails.

    5. An outdoor lantern so you can transport your patio to a resort off the South Pacific. Dazzle your plants, furniture, and house guests with its striking wooden finish and glowing candles.

    6. A seven-piece outdoor dining room set because you have to take dinner to the backyard on those perfect spring evenings. Enjoy your meals with loved ones on a sprawling wooden table while you nosh on a tasty succotash under the stars.

    7. A canopy glider swing that'll help you ease into comfort when you have nothing to do and all day to do it. You can rock till your heart's content in a lovely white and green finish with UV protection — whether it's midday or midnight.

    8. A three-panel decorative patio screen because sometimes you can let something simple do the hard work on its own. The rattan wooden finish and interwoven design provide some style points while doing something as basic as partitioning the backyard.

    9. A canopy gazebo tent to help keep the harmful UV rays, pesky mosquitos, and bad vibes out of the party. The fabric cover provides necessary ventilation, making this perfect for some outdoor yoga.

    10. A wood patio loveseat that'll be perfect for some binge-watching while also soaking up some vitamin D (which I just found out is a hormone — thanks, NPR!). The legs are made of sturdy wood, and the backrest offers a sleek, minimal design.

    11. A fairy string-light garland that'll add some magic without using a bunch on individual lanterns. Let the plants appear to come to life as they lay against any fence or trellis.

    12. A stoneware hanging chime to let all those calming, meditative sounds take over your backyard. Just let the wind do its magic as it glides against the lovely white and pink dome.

    13. A patio accent table because we are all so much better than that flimsy plastic white patio furniture that always look dirty. Just look at the royal blue color and hexagonal ceramic-tile top and know that your phone and LaCroix have a new favorite spot.

    14. An outdoor planter because even your green friends can use some style points. Ditch the plastic so you can have a simple yet powerful, woven wicker frame around a ceramic pot.

    15. A set of acacia wood barstools so you can enjoy that ice-cold drink in a modern setting – and with a backrest, if I may add. Seriously, who decided to make stools without backrests? You'll want those style points, whether enjoying that off-the-grill cheeseburger or sipping a strawberry daiquiri.

    16. A solar pathway light because you know what's not a good look for your backyard? People stubbing their toes on the sprinkler due to poor lighting. A simple light on the grounds is adequate and gives some cinematic ground-level lighting.

    17. A hammock chair so you can achieve those perfect childhood nostalgia moments of laying down in a hammock on a hot, sunny day. Curl up and enjoy those summer moments with your book of choice.

    18. An artificial weeping eucalyptus tree so you can bring the tropical auras to any backyard sans the maintenance. A cute little faux tree is perfect for those who don't live in the tropics or don't want to deal with the upkeep.

    19. An iron and glass sunflower birdbath so our winged friends can take a break from all that pollination with a sip or two of water. And aside from nature's cycles, you now have colorful, pretty birds coming by to say hi. Talk about symbiosis.

    20. A garden snail figurine to add a little life to your backyard. Show your appreciation for your favorite gastropod (sorry, abalone) with a cute-as-a-button snail that you won't have to worry about accidentally stepping on after a summer rainstorm.

    21. A wood chaise lounge chair because how unsightly are those rubber strip lounge chairs that leave an imprint on your skin? Relax in style with a lovely, earthy wood finishing and a gray mesh design that won't leave face marks.

    22. An LED offset umbrella that'll make even the most sun-resistant person come out to enjoy the breeze without fear of getting burnt. Plus, the LEDs allow you to move around the backyard and eat anywhere you want without being beholden to patio lights.

    23. A two-person hammock to enjoy those summer snuggles with your partner or just enjoy extra space on your own. There is no need to fuss around trying to find two adjacent trees to connect — this hammock can literally support itself.

    24. An organic herb garden grow kit because your dinners will thank you with homegrown herbs. Forget about paying $4 for a few rosemary sprigs when you can plant your own and have tasty, colorful, herbaceous plants at your disposal 24/7. Pro tip: Please make rosemary shortbread cookies one day.

    25. A hanging macramé planter holder so you can give your little green ones some elevation and turn the patio into a botanical garden. The holders come in a lovely minty green that'll pair nicely with those cotton candy sunsets.

    26. A patio coffee table because it's almost summer, so why not enjoy your coffee (iced, please) outside instead of in the kitchen? The rust-resistant steel and wicker round table scream to be left outside and enjoyed with every meal literally under the sun!

    27. A lumbar decorative pillow because it's not fun to soak up the rays with back pain. Give your back the love it deserves, and with a minimal black and white design to boot.

    28. An acacia wood chaise lounge chair so you can lounge around in style. The best part yet, aside from, you know, the striking wood finish and adjustable chair, is the retractable side table, so you never have to balance your beer on your lap.

    29. An outdoor pouf so you finally have someplace to rest those sunburnt feet. Designed with a vibrant boho motif, you know this comfy pouf is begging to soak up some sunny goodness.

    30. A wall clock that is super fashionable and also functional after a couple of piña coladas in the sun. The matte black powder coating pairs nicely on any wall, and the Roman numerals add a touch of sophistication.

    31. An outdoor torch so everyone in the neighborhood can know you're the party family. Forget about those wooden torches seen literally everywhere when you can have one with a cute glass lantern and metal pole.
