I don’t know about you, but one of the only things that gets me through the rainy, cold spring season in New England is the promise of the perfect patio weather to come. There’s nothing better than sitting out in the backyard with a cold drink, soaking up the sun’s rays, and if you've been working from home for the past few weeks, you're probably looking for ways to get outside more as the weather warms up.

If you're looking to spend more time outdoors for the next few weeks (or at least work on the porch for a few hours a day), you need comfortable patio decor to accommodate your needs. Here are some of our favorite pieces of patio furniture to help you upgrade your space and enjoy the sun over the next few months.

All the pieces are weather-resistant and feature a beautiful stamped pattern as a visual accent. Just place this set on an outdoor rug, and you’ve got the perfect al fresco dining spot.
