With summer around the corner, consider how you plan to relax and unwind. A trip abroad or a cruise may not be in the budget this year, so consider creating your own tropical escape! All you need is a little guidance and the right outdoor furniture and accessories. Let Chair King Backyard Store help you create your own outdoor oasis tailored to your interests, style, and budget.

This year, Polymer outdoor furniture continues to be a customer favorite, thanks to its vibrant color options and durability. This material ensures longevity with its heavy-duty warranties and multiple configurations and styles, including the popular Adirondack chairs, chaise lounges, and beach-house style dining and seating sets. We recommend our Farmhouse, Montauk, and Kai collections for the best offerings in this material category.

For those who prefer a more classic look, teak patio furniture remains on-trend for summer. Its rich, warm tones add an inviting touch to any outdoor space, while its natural oils resist water, insects, and decay. Consider investing in a teak club chair or bench for an easy investment or check out our popular teak collections. Castello and Grand Banks offer plenty of seating for easy lounging while sets from our Eastchester or Warwick collections specialize in timeless yet sophisticated teak dining options for a total backyard refresh.

We’ve all been there—trying to wrestle a flimsy umbrella during a windy BBQ. This year, give yourself a break and consider how the right umbrella can make your time outdoors more enjoyable and stylish. A patio umbrella is one of the easiest outdoor accessories to add to your space and to great impact, so go bold without sacrificing function. Think of umbrellas like you do a beautiful bouquet or an oversized sun hat. Whether it’s a cantilever or a market umbrella, it’s going to make a statement. Options like our 7.5 ft. Table Umbrellas and their 13 ft. Cantilever Umbrellas come with a multi-position horizontal tilt and wind vents to keep them in place when the day gets a little breezy. Plus, these outdoor accessories are UV resistant, easy to maintain, and offer plenty of sun protection to keep you and your guests safe.

Another easy and visually impactful way to update your patio area is to add some colorful outdoor decor pieces such as rugs and throw pillows. Opt for contrasting colors for a more dramatic style statement, especially if your furniture has more neutral tones, and pay attention to the quality of the fabric. Investing in high-quality outdoor fabrics like Sunbrella and other solution-dyed acrylic options comes with a list of benefits. They’re UV resistant, fade resistant, mold and mildew resistant, spill-proof and stain-resistant, ensuring they last longer than a season.

Nothing kills the vibe faster than running inside for refills. A good outdoor bar cart? It’s your new favorite summer sidekick. Keep refreshments close at hand with our selection of outdoor coolers and bar carts. Available in resin wicker, teak, and cast aluminum, these stylish accessories blend seamlessly with our other outdoor furniture collections.

Add a few pieces from our stainless steel outdoor serveware collection like our drink dispenser or beverage tub and your outdoor space will feel like a five-star resort in no time. Lay out a snackboard on our serving tray and keep the ice bucket filled to stay cool and hydrated all summer long.

Sunscreen isn’t just for summer months and neither are furniture covers. Investing in high-quality furniture covers will protect your outdoor furniture set from the elements when it’s not in use, keeping it clean and cool all year long. We offer a variety of custom furniture covers, designed to protect and last longer than traditional vinyl covers. Chair King Backyard Store’s furniture covers also have a spring cinch lock to secure the cover in place during windy weather, shielding your furniture from heat, rain, and debris.

With these staycation hacks, you can transform your outdoor space into a stylish retreat that's perfect for soaking up the sun regardless of space and budget restraints. So, embrace the season's hottest trends and elevate your outdoor space into an outdoor escape you can enjoy all year long.
