Looking to give your backyard a summer refresh? Here are the hottest trends of the season to turn your space into a relaxing oasis.

5. Inside out
The line between indoor and outdoor furniture is blurring this season, with patio pieces that look so luxe and comfortable they could be moved inside seamlessly. Although most outdoor furniture is made with weather- resistant material, getting into the habit of covering your pieces when not in use will keep them looking new for years to come.

A quiet outdoor oasis is just what we need to escape from life’s hustle and bustle.

Protect the nook with a pretty parasol and you’ll want to lounge all day long.

7. Gentle waves
A common interior design style this year, furniture with curved edges has made its way outdoors to add softness and fluidity to your patio. If you’re not ready to commit to large anchor pieces, it’s easy to add roundness with cushions, lanterns and vases.
