We Gave a Home Stager $150 to Shop for Outdoor Decor at Target — Here’s What She Bought

Boozer is a big fan of using throw pillows to give your outdoor space a big glow-up on a small budget. She picked three different patterned outdoor-safe pillows that all work together but add a touch of fun and luxe to any outdoor space.

It’s clear what Boozer’s philosophy is: You can never have too many throw pillows! And I have to agree, especially when they’re as pretty as this trio she pulled together.

“Mixing the bright color and pattern of these fun Target pillows gives you resort style at home,” she says. “Plus, pillows are so easy to change up throughout the year.”

Next, Boozer picked out a wicker accent — an incredibly trendy material at the moment — that adds a dose of texture to any outdoor space. “Nothing says ‘summer’ and ‘resort’ like adding wicker to your decor,” Boozer says. Besides looking great on an outdoor coffee table, this 14x20-inch woven tray is a practical pick: It’s handy for toting drinks and snacks from inside to outdoors. Perhaps you want to serve lemonade at your next open house? It’s a wonderful receptacle to do it!

If you need something to serve those lemonades in — or at least glassware that serves as the suggestion of lemonade in the future — this beverage server is the perfect stylish way to do it.

A chic carafe and tumblers like the ones above are must-haves for drinks on the patio or deck. Boozer likes these acrylic options from Threshold, which look classy but are outdoor-hardy.

“The last thing you want when entertaining outdoors is broken glass,” she says. She also loves the fact that they are clear. “It’s fun to see the bright colors of summer’s tropical drinks with mixed fruit by serving beverages in a clear tumbler.”

“Don’t forget a soft throw blanket for those chilly summer evenings on the porch or patio,” Boozer says. She chose this textured, 100% cotton blanket in blush to complement the colors in the throw pillows.

For a pop of color and ambiance, especially during an evening showing, Boozer suggests adding this set of four mercury glass tea light holders to your outdoor tablescape. She loves that they coordinate with the blue in the throw pillows for a cohesive look. Her pro tip: Fill them with citronella tea light candles to keep the bugs at bay. (And if they don’t exactly do that, at least your outdoor space will smell amazing!)

String lights have become a go-to for creating ambiance in pretty much any outdoor setting—without breaking the bank. Boozer went for this adorable woven basket set to “add sparkle to any outdoor space on a summer evening.”

Perfect for your next BBQ, cocktail night, or for those open house lemonades, this preppy set of 30 napkins is both cute and useful. “A paper cocktail napkin is such an easy way to infuse your personal style into an outdoor dining scene,” Boozer says. She opted for these adorable summery stripes that tie in perfectly with her color palette.
