Hammocks are the ultimate way to unwind, but if you’ve got a small space, you’ll want a hammock chair. It’s every bit as lounge-y (especially with a padded seat, like this one), and if you don’t have a solid beam to hang it from, you can always order a chair stand.

We love the crackling sound (and marshmallow-roasting possibilities) of a fire pit, but when you crave something a bit simpler—and less messy—a patio heater is the way to go.
