The best pieces from Ikea's outdoor summer collection (and why you should shop it now)
Thinking about outfitting your patio space right now might seem a little absurd, right? Maybe, but Ikea outdoor furniture sells out fast. So, although there's still snow on the ground in most Canadian provinces, you might want to invest in that new patio set now. Or maybe a new set of LED lights that look like lanterns. We've rounded up the best selection of outdoor goods to make your summer shopping a little easier:
IKEA Outdoor Furniture
Table and chair set
This set is perfect for a balcony — everything folds up flat so it’s easy to store when not in use. $50, Ikea.
Beach lounge chair
Fold this lightweight chair up and take it to the beach, or keep it on your patio for a fun pop of pattern and colour. $40, Ikea.
Hide-away patio set
This set is just a genius solution for small outdoor spaces. It has an extra fold-down leaf so you can make it longer when you have dinner parties. The chairs also fold up flat for easy storage. $180, Ikea.
Outdoor rug
Instantly uplift an outdoor space with a rug. This one is made to stand up to rain, sun and snow. When it gets dirty, just hose it down and hang to dry. $20, Ikea.
LED outdoor pendant lamp
This lamp is solar powered (no cords or plugs needed!) and looks like an indoor pendant. $13, Ikea.
Extendable dining set
The best thing about this dining set? You can use the bench as an outdoor coffee table for snacks and drinks when you’re not sitting at the table. There are also drop-down leaves on each side so you can instantly make it bigger when you have more guests. $384, Ikea.

Hang your candles from trees or your balcony in these pretty holders, which create a reflective pattern when candles are glowing. $6, Ikea.
