9 Perfect Deck Mates

For all the luxuries of your living room, you'll want some stylish and sustainable deck furniture, if only to start your day with a coffee and end it with a cocktail outside while the weather's beautiful. For choices that run the gamut from deliciously cheap, to splurge-worthy chic, to innovatively cool, here are our favorites for getting your deck all decked out.

Cheerfully Cheap Deck Gets:

An outdoor chaise built for two is wonderfully cozy – much easier to peek over at what your lounge partner is reading in the paper. The degree of uprightness is adjustable according to individual preferences. Degree of shade is another matter: You still have to decide who is going to get up and adjust the umbrella.

Add charm and color to any outdoor scenario with these lanterns made out of old Coke cans. As a subtle reminder, hang one at parties over your aluminum and glass recycling bin.

Pretty and versatile – for a minimalist deck, an English garden or an outdoor zen retreat – this bench is made of durable and naturally fungi-, termite- and decay-resistant mahogany shorea.

Cool Conversation Pieces:

Innovative and intriguing – what else would you call an outdoor table that provides solar power to electronic devices? We don't, however, recommend placing this table right by the pool – or anywhere else you wouldn't rest your laptop.
