Even though we’re back outside, there’s no place like home to enjoy a nice warm day – especially if you can get down on the grill. Now that Memorial Day weekend is here, it’s a great time to show your yard a little love and get ready for the unofficial start of summer.

Adding just a few accessories can turn your yard into the perfect outdoor oasis. From lights to plates to pillows and more – we’ve rounded up some fabulous pieces to help you spruce up your outdoor space.
Keep it Covered
Of course you want to soak up the sun while you’re outside. But an umbrella can give you some relief when it gets too hot, and give you another way to add color and style to your space. The fringe trim on this umbrella from Opalhouse™ designed with Jungalow™ gives it a little something special.
Hang Out in a Hammock
Hammocks are a great way to add a little style to your yard – and take a nice long nap while you’re at it. And when summer is over, just bring it inside.
Set Up a Screen
A decorative patio screen can add style and create division on your patio. This 3-panel screen from Opalhouse™ designed with Jungalow™ can add some funky flair to your space.
Light it Up
The outdoor party doesn’t have to stop just because the sun is going down. Add outdoor lights like these LED Globe String Lights from Target’s Threshold™ brand to light things up.

What’s a stylish outdoor space without great greenery? Your plants will love living in these Mission Square Handmade Planters from Pottery Barn. They’re made from polyester resin, stone and are available in a white, gray or black finish.

Everything looks better on a pretty plate. And we love these melamine dinner plates from Anthropologie that come in three colors that are sure to make a statement.
