Because if you’re like us, the more time you spend outside — whether it be lounging on your sprawling patio or getting some fresh air on your high-rise balcony — the more you realize your space needs some sprucing up.

Check out our favorite picks below, and peruse all of Target’s outdoor home haul here.

Time to stock up, people!
