No matter the yard size, you’ll require one key feature for maximum relaxation: seating. When browsing the vast interwebs for your outdoor space, consider size, purpose and location before committing. A bistro set is practical and minimal enough to fit in small spaces (perfect Zoom calls in fresh air), while a large dining set will suffice for hosting alfresco dinner parties with enough room for hand-picked floral arrangements.

Ahead, we’ve rounded up the most stylish patio sets and outdoor furniture pieces for every type of yard and style. From affordable options at Amazon and Target to splurges from Article and West Elm, check out our top picks (including looks inspired by Hollywood) below.

This East Oak Breezeway patio set from Amazon is perfect for lounging in the backyard or catching up with an old pal on the porch.

If you envy the interiors of the Oppenheim Group’s stylish offices as much as the multimillion-dollar homes that the firm sells, here’s one way to get the luxe Selling Sunset look. The real estate company recently teamed with Rove Concepts on a curated collection of furniture, and the minimalist Dresden outdoor sofa (available in other configurations and sizes) is similar to the direct-to-consumer furniture brand’s sleek indoor Berlin seating seen at Oppenheim’s Los Angeles space.

The cloud-like cushions and low-profile frame give this sofa a contemporary feel, and you can choose from fast-drying ivory or gray fabric that’s UV- and mildew-resistant. Add the optional white or black ceramic side table insert to complete your luxurious patio.
