Summer is almost here, and with that, it’s time to revamp your outdoor space. And for me, nothing turns a backyard into the perfect hosting spot like an outdoor sectional.
I’m a huge fan of outdoor sectionals because they are the most spacious solution for when you need extra seating, and they’re gorgeous statement pieces, too. Comfortable, roomy, and versatile, an outdoor sectional is one of the best outdoor furniture pieces you can buy to transform your space.
There are hundreds of options available right now as well, from modern, low-slung pieces to high-end, expertly crafted wood options, and the shapes and sizes on the market are aplenty. Think fade-resistant cushions, durable designs, and handcrafted edges, all of which will lend a gorgeous look to your space, while creating a laid-back spot for your guests to hang.
I’ve done my best to narrow down the list for you, and found an outdoor sectional for any type of interior design trend. From modern to traditional, and maximalist to simple, there’s an outdoor sectional out there for you.
Clean lines and a solid iron frame lend a modern look to this L-shaped sectional, which incorporates low-maintenance, fade-resistant Sunbrella fabrics that withstand the elements with ease.
