It's not even February, but we here at Livingetc are already thinking about spring. I know I, for one, am daydreaming about lush grass and full trees, fresh flowers and a day I don't need my jacket to step outside. It's been so unbelievably cold that I've resorted to a tropical computer wallpaper just to feel the mere illusion of sun-induced heat.

But here in the interiors and lifestyle world, spring comes early, anyway. We have to prepare you for the seasonal cleaning edits and design hauls from the best home decor brands that will flood your feed by mid-March, so I don't feel so bad about introducing this next buying guide a bit prematurely.

Today, we're talking Amazon outdoor furniture. That's everything from weather-resistant couches to accent tables to rugs, all of which I've dutifully sourced from everyone's favorite e-commerce giant. "I love Amazon for outdoor furniture," says our editor Pip Rich. "It's particularly useful if you have a color or material in mind but aren't sure what you're looking for - it's easy to filter down. And the outdoor rugs are surprisingly chic." 

He's right, of course. But it can be overwhelming. I think these selections reflect the best the retailer has to offer, so this should hopefully save you a bit of time when sourcing your new patio furniture this year.

And once you're finished there, refresh your living room, bedroom, and entryway with our edits of the best Amazon sofas, the best Amazon lighting, the best Amazon rugs, and the best Amazon bedding.

What should you consider when buying outdoor furniture?

Livingetc knows design. We spend hours testing and comparing the latest products, bringing only our edit of the very best to you. Find out more about how we review.

There are a few things to consider when buying outdoor furniture:

Storage: Where will you keep the furniture the off-season? Do you see an option that's both chic and easily storable? If so, that might be the best buy for you, depending on your storage situation. A house with a roomy basement has plenty of options, but some concessions might be required in a tiny apartment.

Weather: The type of outdoor furniture you'll look for will likely change depending on where in the country you live. If you're on the West Coast, you'll want something durable but probably not made of metal, as that could get quite hot during the summer months. If you're in a rainier climate, make sure to buy something impervious to water damage. And if you live in a mix of it all, find a piece that combines the right materials and sensibilities for your specific climate.

Price: It would be nice if every quality piece of furniture could cost $100, but that's sadly not the case. Although, that doesn't mean things will be too expensive, either. Just make sure you know for how much a quality piece of whatever furniture you're trying to buy runs before you start your search. Once you have that benchmark in mind, you can search for either suitable lower-priced alternatives or similar options that are currently on sale.

'If there is one kind of furniture I would absolutely recommend you splurge on, it would be outdoor,' said Grey Joyner of Grey Joyner Interiors. 'In addition to the furniture itself, the cushions should not be overlooked. High-quality cushions are equally as important so that they keep their shape, withstand the elements and are comfortable.'

As far as selecting a style, Grey recommends connecting your outdoor space with the vibe of your indoor one. 'There are ultra modern pieces, more traditional, and so many fabulous indoor/outdoor fabrics as well,' she said, 'but you can't go wrong leaning towards classic shapes that bring in some colors and accents from the indoors.'
