May is here, and that means longer days, warmer evenings, and a fresh excuse to update your outdoor space. Whether you’ve got a cozy patio, a full backyard, or just a little balcony to call your own, this month’s Kelly’s Picks is all about outdoor living—with a bonus: Memorial Day sales are making it the perfect time to save.

This Month’s Theme: Outdoor Oasis

I’ve rounded up my favorite outdoor furniture finds to help you create a space that feels like a vacation at home. Think: neutral palettes, natural textures, and timeless shapes you’ll love for seasons to come.

Whether you’re hosting summer BBQs, sipping iced tea with a book, or chasing toddlers around the yard—these pieces will make you want to stay outside just a little longer.

Memorial Day Sales Worth Shopping

Memorial Day weekend always brings some of the year’s best deals—especially for home and garden. A few retailers I’m watching (and already saving carts from):

Target – 30% off patio furniture + extra deals on outdoor decor
West Elm – Up to 60% off outdoor + free shipping on select items
World Market – Buy more, save more event going strong
Amazon – Daily lightning deals on everything from hammocks to string lights
Wayfair – Deep discounts across their outdoor section (some over 70% off!)

Pro tip: These sales often start the week before Memorial Day and sell out fast, so don’t wait too long if you have your eye on something.

Style Tip of the Month

Layer your outdoor space like you would your indoor one: add cushions, plants (faux or real), and lighting. A few lanterns or string lights can take your space from “meh” to magical.

Let’s Make It a Summer to Remember
