Picture it: a cloudless sky, a pitcher of iced tea sweating on the table, and a bowl of freshly cut melon within reach. Friends and family linger long after lunch, and you're stretched out on the impossibly comfortable outdoor chaise lounge you just found at Bloomingdale's. Summer has officially arrived, and with it comes the perfect excuse to refresh your home for a season of easy entertaining and slow, sun-drenched afternoons.
Summer has always been synonymous with rest and relaxation, but it's also the season when I finally tackle the projects I've been putting off. The slower pace and longer days create the perfect window for those bigger investments, and updating my furniture has been sitting at the top of my list for months. Between measuring rooms, mood-boarding ideas, and making decisions, I simply hadn't found the time. But with a calendar full of gatherings on the horizon, the procrastination has to end – and thankfully, Bloomingdale's makes furnishing both indoor and outdoor spaces feel remarkably effortless.
Bloomingdale's has long been one of my go-to destinations for fashion and beauty, but its home department deserves just as much attention. It's stocked with the elevated brands I turn to when making bigger purchases – pieces that strike the right balance of quality, style, and longevity. Because I don't refresh my furniture often, I want every piece to feel considered and built to last. Ahead, discover 16 indoor and outdoor furniture finds from Bloomingdale's that work beautifully across a range of decorating styles.
Outdoor Furniture
I plan to spend as much of the season outdoors as possible, so my furniture needs to be as comfortable as it is stylish. Ahead, you'll find everything from sleek chaise lounges perfect for sun-soaked afternoons to elegant dining tables and chairs designed for effortless entertaining – all the pieces you need to make the most of summer living.
Indoor Furniture
Bloomingdale's is home to the elevated brands and timeless pieces that make investing in your space feel worthwhile. I'm especially drawn to its curated mix of sofas, sectionals, accent chairs, and ottomans, but the Hudson Park Collection Velvet Astor Sofa sits firmly at the top of my wish list.
