With the arrival of spring you can count on one thing: It's officially patio season. Whether you'll be relying on an outdoor heater to take the edge off the early spring chill or you've been basking in balmy weather for a while, your patio situation could probably use an update after a season in hibernation.

One way to ensure you enjoy every fresh-air second to the max? Pull together a few staples that will make your outdoor living room functional ​and​ photogenic (because style is everything when it comes to next-level hangout spaces).

And by snagging them all from Walmart, you can score stylish, quality pieces without spending a fortune. Warning: Your DM's are about to be filled with questions about whether that outdoor space in all your Instagram stories is actually ​your​ house.
