The Editors’ Cut: Our Favorite Chic Finds for the Patio, Ikea Edition

April 24, 2026

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: Ikea’s luring us in again, this time with irresistibly fun designs for the patio and deck. We scoured the outdoor collection for pieces that will stand the test of time (yes, that cactus-shaped watering can is a new classic and no one can tell us otherwise), with special attention paid to honest, durable materials (like cotton, terracotta, and powder-coated steel). Here are 13 well-made, well-priced finds that caught our eye. —The Gardenista Editors

Domsten Stool

This happy little stool with a pine top and metal legs is meant for indoors, but we think it would look delightful on a covered patio or deck as a side table or extra seating. It&#8\2\17;s available in orange (pictured) and lilac. Shop now.
