While it may be fun to pick out the big furniture pieces for your outdoor relaxing and entertaining space, it’s important not to forget the details like the finishing touches.
We’ve compiled a list of 10 outdoor furniture finishings to consider and add into your outdoor space to give it the most complete look and feel!
1. **Outdoor Rugs**
Often overlooked, [outdoor rugs](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-accessories/outdoor-rugs?product_list_limit=all) are a great way to tie all of your furniture together. Set them underneath your sectional or loveseat or beneath an ottoman or accent table to bring more texture and color to your designated outdoor space.
Outdoor rugs are also great to place under an outdoor dining set or even near your above ground pool to avoid slipping.
1. ** Umbrellas**
If you’re considering an outdoor dining set or just a lounge seating area, especially in an open space without tree coverage, an [umbrella](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/patio-umbrellas?product_list_limit=all) is a versatile addition. Not only will it help block out the sun, but it will also help with any unexpected rain and keeping your table a little drier.
Also consider adding umbrellas around your lounge chairs for added shade and more color.
If you happen to have small children, make sure to add an [umbrella](https://www.watsons.com/10x13-ft-cantilever-black-cast-silver) near their outdoor play area or seating to keep them cool.
1. ** Lighting**
Whether it’s [above](https://www.watsons.com/elm-3-light-outdoor-pendant-509114), on your table, or along a pathway, lighting can enhance any area and create a welcoming space. Not to mention it can be a safety feature to make sure no one trips on uneven landscaping like paving stones or steps!
There’s a lot of variety in lighting options, from stringed lights to [lanterns](https://www.watsons.com/set-of-3-large-grey-willow-lanterns-with-glass-503523) to flameless candles. It all just depends on the mood and environment you want to create.
Look for pathways and where people congregate to consider where and what type of lighting to place.
1. ** Pillows**
Throw pillows are a great way to add more color or texture to your outdoor space. In addition, they can be great multifunctional pieces, creating a booster for young kids to sit on, for extra back and lumbar support while sitting, or for taking a light siesta on your outdoor sectional.
When looking at pillows for your outdoor space, make sure they are outdoor pillows and not your everyday indoor pillows. This way you won’t have to worry about them getting ruined by the outdoor elements. [Sunbrella](https://www.watsons.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=sunbrella) is a great brand that carries pillows and outdoor furniture upholstered with performance outdoor fabric to withstand weather and sunlight.
1. ** Accent Tables**
When designing your outdoor space, consider the seating to table ratio. If people will be lounging with drinks or want a place to set down food, you’ll want somewhere to safely set them. [Accent tables](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/accent-tables?product_list_limit=all) are a versatile piece that can be used pretty much anywhere.
Consider adding one next to your spa or hot tub for towels, candles, or other items you want to keep close by. Place in-between your lounge chairs for drinks and phone storage. The possibilities are endless when it comes to accent tables.
1. ** Ottomans**
[Ottomans](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/ottomans?product_list_limit=all) are a perfect addition to both indoor and outdoor spaces. Just make sure you get an outdoor one with the best fabric if placing outside. These multifunctional pieces can transform into accent tables, footrests, and extra seating as needed. This makes them a perfect addition to your outdoor space when you want versatility without too many pieces, such as in a smaller space.
1. ** Benches**
From a front porch to your back patio or even garden seating, [the bench](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-patio-furniture/benches) is a simple, yet sophisticated outdoor piece to consider.
Opt for one with or without a back depending on the use you have for it. These pieces are usually lightweight and easy to move around and place wherever you want, making it fun to change up your outdoor space décor.
1. ** Vases**
Whether for real or even fake floral arrangements, [vases](https://www.watsons.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?q=vases&product_list_limit=all) are another way to add texture and color to your outdoor décor. Use to line a paved path, as an end piece to your sofa or sectional, or around your spa or hot tub.
1. ** Serve Ware**
If you have or will be adding an outdoor dining area or plan to entertain outdoors, consider a set of [outdoor serve ware](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/outdoor-accessories/serveware?product_list_limit=all). The difference between regular and outdoor serve ware is the materials used. Acrylic is a common material used as it can withstand drops as well as environmental elements without breaking and wearing down.
Bypass glasses to avoid injuries and messy clean-ups, especially if you have a pool or hot tub.
1. ** Fire Pits**
For year-round entertainment, consider adding a [fire pit](https://www.watsons.com/outdoor/firepits) to your outdoor space. Most can be easily moved and provide both warmth and ambiance. Our propane fire pits make it convenient to use immediately for those sudden s’mores cravings and late night chats under the stars.
Adding small touches can make a big difference in your outdoor space.
