No Soil Needed

You don’t need soil—or even a green thumb—to keep air plants alive. Set yourself up for success with this California-made Tillandsia holder. Each powder-coated steel vessel includes an air plant. Care couldn’t be easier: once a week, slide out the wire-wrapped plant and dunk both wire and plant in water overnight.

Warm Buns

From the power design duo, siblings Miranda and Aaron Jones, comes the latest in heated outdoor furniture—the Kosmos. Lighter and smaller than any of the other chairs in the Galanter & Jones collection, this model enables you to experience the magic of heated seating even in the smallest of spaces.

Roll out the Carpet

It turns out that the rug really does tie the room together—outdoors, too. We’re fans of FabHabitat for their recycled plastic rugs that are mold-, mildew-, and UV-resistant, and, best of all, feel great underfoot.
