20 Genius Products That'll Totally Transform Your Outdoor Space
As the weather gets warmer, you're probably itching to get off your couch and spend as much time as possible outdoors. While it's nice to get away from your home for a while, it's sometimes even nicer to have an oasis in your own backyard to turn to. You definitely don't need to have a large outdoor space in order to transform it into something cozy, comfortable and enjoyable — you just need to have the right decor and setup. Shopping for these items on Amazon makes it easy to get stylish, functional pieces quickly and at an affordable price point.
A great outdoor space requires some comfortable seating, versatile lighting, shade for extra sunny days and some greenery (real or fake). Add in some decor that you like, such as funky planters, a colorful rug or some whimsical string lights, and you've got a space you'll want to return to each day (or night). Here are some of our favorite products you can buy from Amazon to make this a reality.

It's 7.5 gallons and can hold up to 40 cans, and it's made of a water-resistant resin so it can withstand the elements.
