There’s no denying that the winter has been endless this year—seriously snow, you can stop now. Not only does dreaming of spring help distract from the tundra outside, but it’s also the right time to shop for outdoor accessories before things sell out (which they do—quickly). The best part is that it doesn’t take a lot to update your balcony or outdoor space. Little things like bright pillows, melamine dishes or a patterned accent chair can transform your space without breaking the bank. This year, trends like rattan boho-inspired furniture, bold patterned accessories (think geometric shapes and retro colours) and pieces that look like they belong indoors will have your patio transformed into a comfortable living-room inspired oasis in a snap. We’ve rounded up 15 pieces to get you started—all under $100.
Patio Accessories
Fresno Side Table
A solid (and stylish) side table is always a must for a patio, especially when summer drinks are involved. This one is super modern, affordable and can be used indoors, too. Also available in black and tan. $99, urbanbarn.com.
Outdoor Chandelier
Who says chandeliers are only for indoors? Hang this one above your patio dining table so it feels like you’re dining at a fancy (outdoor) restaurant. $90, canadiantire.ca.

Have a teeny tiny outdoor space with no room for a table? Think again. This genius Murphy bed–style acacia wood table hooks onto your balcony railing and folds down when not in use. Compact and stylish. $98, homedepot.ca.

Outdoor cushion designs keep getting more sophisticated. Now you can have an outdoor pillow that looks and feels like wool (and that it belongs on your living room couch), but is actually made from recycled plastic bottles and can be left outside. $85, crateandbarrel.com.
