I used to think that I couldn't entertain guests unless I had a Pinterest-worthy backyard setup: a perfectly manicured lawn, a large wrap-around porch, and a garden in full bloom. But as long as I'm living in New York City, I'll never have a sprawling backyard, so I've had to get flexible with how I entertain guests in my small backyard space. I've learned that I don't need the perfect presentation, just a few stylish accents that show I've put in effort to tie my space together. And because I look for quality pieces that don't cost a fortune, Walmart is my fail-safe retailer.
Walmart has all the trending spring styles I want to try from a variety of brands I trust and love. This year, I'll be testing out some on-trend floral patterns, updating my hosting essentials, and investing in affordable, high-quality furniture.
Whether you're hosting in a smaller space or want to make a few tweaks that have a major impact on your backyard, shop these luxe-looking hosting must-haves from Walmart.
Outdoor Accents
Sometimes, sprucing up a space is as simple as buying a fresh throw pillow, a wicker planter that will add texture, or a colorful accent chair. Choosing one of the options below will help elevate your space, or purchase them all for a complete makeover.
Floral Flourishes
Adorning your patio with blooms feels natural for spring. If your backyard is like mine (concrete) and you can't accommodate a real garden, leaning into floral patterns is a smart way to add color, texture, and the feeling of spring to your entertaining setup.
Pretty Pastels
Pastel shades are a classic representation of the new growth that comes in spring. Baby blue mirrors cloud-free skies, and butter yellow evokes sunny days. Pay homage to spring with the following pastel products.
Hosting Helpers
Even the best host needs a bit of help, which is why I like to have extra seating and multi-purpose furniture on hand. This reversible wicker ottoman that can be used as a seat or a coffee table is the perfect example.
