Back to Basics: 5 Patio Must-Haves for the Best Lounging Experience

Okay, you’ve finally done it! You’ve taken a big step: you’ve purchased a fine patio furniture set (hopefully from iPatio!). But how do you make the best of it?

Well, here’s 5 must-haves to enhance your lounging experience:

1. Side Table: Having a side table is not just going to enhance your lounging experience but it’s a necessity. How else to keep your cool drink by you in the heat? Or place your book during breaks while you read outside? A side table is convenient for drinks or accessories to your personal outdoor retreat - so treat yourself to a side table or tea cart.
2. Fire Pit: Need I say more? Cozy up to a warm fire pit during the cooler months. Roast some marshmallows and make it a splendid evening. It works as a centerpiece to your collection, a place to add plates or glasses during conversation and keeps you toasty.
3. Blankets: These are not just for keeping you warm but can add color, texture and/or style to any set. You can change them with the seasons to keep your patio area stylish.
4. Umbrellas or Canopy: Depending on the space size, either of these items can deeply enhance your lounging experience. They provide shade from the sun and as an added bonus, keep you and your patio free from sun damage.
5. Company: This must-have doesn’t cost you anything and creates memorable experiences with great people. Entertaining others is definitely the best way to get the best lounging experience.
