5 Favorite Accents for a Stylish Summer Outdoor Retreat

Dress up your patio furniture with outdoor pillows that add style and comfort. Outdoor throw pillows are fade and weather-resistant, so they can stand up to sunny days or summer storms. Even better, they come in tons of styles – solids and patterns, bold tones and muted neutrals. This set of green watercolor palm leaf outdoor accent pillows with corded trim brings a modern, tropical vibe that’s both classic and casual. Toss a few pillows on your patio chairs for a breezy style update.

Make the long summer nights last even longer with outdoor lights to accent your outdoor entertainment areas. These classic globe lights are often what comes to mind when people envision patio lights.

These 20-count globe string lights are outdoor-approved and feature clips for easy installation. Connect up to three sets end-to-end and keep the party going until well after sunset!
