Mid-Century Modern Patio Furniture

I’ve had this set of affordable outdoor furniture for several years now. I like it so much I ordered two sets, and you can see the other pieces on my deck-turned-catio.

Wood patio furniture gives you a modern look, but it may not handle the weather as well as other options in powder-coated steel or aluminum. It works best for a covered outdoor space, like under a pergola or deck.

My outdoor furniture did have some wear and tear you can see here. After this photo was taken, I ended up sanding and restoring this patio set with teak oil. It’s a great way to maintain your wood furniture as needed.

Here are some outdoor furniture sets to bring mid-century modern style to your patio, including options in wood and aluminum.

Retro Mod Outdoor Dining Sets

Dining alfresco is sure to give you those staycation vibes. The minute Portland dries out from our rainy winters, I dash outside for meals on the patio.

You can always dine at your outdoor loveseat and coffee table, but when you want a more formal or comfortable spot for summer meals, you may want to invest in a table and chairs set.

Here are some adorable options from retro to modern.

Cozy Lounge Chairs

Sun loungers remind me of sitting poolside in Palm Springs. I’ve already shared ideas for bringing those Palm Springs feels to your front porch, but the right lounger can also turn your backyard patio into a mini vacation.

If your patio feels like it’s missing a touch of fun, try a cozy chaise lounge or hammock.

Modern Outdoor Rugs

The outdoor rug is the piece that brings it all together. I debated between a practical neutral or a loud and colorful turquoise. Of course I can never resist turquoise decor, and I love how this modern rug completes the patio.

The rug ties in all the shades of turquoise, from my side tables to my pillows to the door. It’s made of eco-friendly plastic and should last a long time outdoors.

You might like the outdoor rug I chose or these additional options, including the neutral rug that was a close second.

Fun and Funky Patio Accessories

Adding the right accessories to your patio will transform it into a uniquely you space for enjoying an extended staycation. These retro outdoor side tables were on my wish list forever, and I finally picked them up this spring.

Since this patio is right outside my tiki bar, I decided to hang some tiki art to carry over the theme.

A cozy blanket and durable outdoor pillows invite you to kick back for a long afternoon of relaxation. Potted plants are a must-have. And the most important accessory: string lights.
