Top 10 IKEA Patio Finds
IKEA Solleron Modular Corner Outdoor Sectional
I think the epitome of outdoor comfort is a cozy outdoor sofa laden with pillows and blankets. With the addition of a fire pit, I would never want to leave this beautiful set-up! The Solleron Modular Outdoor Sofa has it all- great style and comfortable cushions with a price tag much less than you’d find at most other stores.
Bondholmen Outdoor Table And Chairs
Dining al fresco is one of the greatest joys of summer, and every patio needs a good table to sit and enjoy a summer feast. The Bondholmen set comes in a grey finish, but I love how Kelly Mazur upgraded hers with a coat of beautiful watery blue paint. The colour is reminiscent of the seaside and just perfect for summer. You can easily seat six at this table and could probably squeeze in a couple extra if needed.
Buskbo Rattan Chair With Cushion
The Buskbo Rattan Chair is a nice addition to a patio seating area. I think it’s also a great option for a small balcony or deck if you have limited space. One cozy chair, a small side table, and a beautiful potted plant and you can have a little slice of summer.
Krokholmen Outdoor Coffee Table
This metal mesh outdoor coffee table has a ton of style and is affordable and practical for the outdoors. The mesh tabletop allows rainwater to drain, avoiding standing water on the table. It’s also lightweight and can be easily moved around when needed. The neutral colour works with just about any colour scheme too.
Askholmen Bistro Set
For the apartment dweller, the Askholmen Bistro Set is the perfect addition for outdoor dining. This lovely set-up can give small spaces a real style boost and add practicality. I would love to have a morning coffee here or an afternoon iced tea or cocktail. The table and chairs fold, making them very compact for storage in the off season.
We are halfway through my list of top 10 IKEA patio finds and have finished viewing IKEA furniture pieces. The remaining five pieces are accessories that can be used to complement the above pieces or your own existing patio furniture.
Himmelso Gazebo
Protection from the sun and rain is essential for enjoying the outdoors for any extended period of time. IKEA’s Himmelso Gazebo is affordable with neutral colouring to suit any decor scheme. A fabric topped gazebo like this can be used to cover a dining table or a cozy seating area.
For an affordable alternative that uses your home’s existing architecture, I love this lace curtain look by Magnolia Lane. They’ve used IKEA’s Lill Lace Curtains to create a privacy curtain with romantic flair.
Oxno/Lindoja Offset Patio Umbrella
An alternative to a gazebo is an offset patio umbrella. This one from IKEA is sizeable and can cover a large seating area. The neutral colour is pleasing and works with most colour schemes.
Satsumas Plant Stand
Bringing plant life to a patio or balcony can really enhance an outdoor space. IKEA has great plant pots and the Satsuma Plant Stand would be a lovely outdoor focal point. You can use it to grow herbs or flowers. Alternatively, you could fill the pots with faux plants. A decorative wall with several of these would be very eye-catching.
IKEA also has a lovely assortment of terra cotta pots and the 6″ Brunbar pot has nice lines and such a pretty natural terra cotta colour.
I also love the 7.5″ IKEA Boysenbar planter. It has a concrete look that is on point and modern looking. Combining a mix of terra cotta and concrete-look pots will create an interesting eclectic look for your outdoor space.
Strimsporre Cushion Covers
These bold cushion covers will really enliven your outdoor space and add a burst of colour. Combined with solid navy blue cushions, they create a classic look.
Torared Pendant Lamp Shade
If you have a pergola, you can dress it up with some beautiful pendants from IKEA. These are slightly different from the Torared Pendants IKEA carries now, but the scale and look are the same. I love how Magda from @zadomowiona_na_ziolowej on Instagram has hung them from the pergola along with hanging baskets and greenery.
What Did I Buy?
I purchased the Boysenbar planters and the Strimsporre Cushion Covers. I also have several of the Askholmen folding chairs and have one of them displayed on my front porch. You can read about how I decorated my tiny front porch for summer here.
