If you have a window sill...
Urban Outfitters Hopper Daybed
Make a designated sunshine nook out of that mini-ledge by popping a good-lookin' cushion on it — or by stationing a complementary bench or daybed beneath it for lounging and catching rays. A handful of retailers like Urban Outfitters, World Market, Amazon, and Zara's debut Home section carry great options for boho-chic seats, comfy casual poufs, and space-elevating benches.

If you have a fire escape...
Auosthop Wooden Outdoor Folding Picnic Table
...That you can safely access (emphasis on the safely). Instead of fully stepping out onto it, try fixing it up into an outside dining or cocktail area that you can access while staying firmly rooted inside your space. Look for a durable tray or a portable picnic table that will hold your spread, then just pull some chairs up to your window sill and enjoy that al-fresco happy hour. And don't forget to bring it inside!

If you have a stoop...
Breakwater Bay Balter Square 2 Long Bistro Set
Maximizing your stoop space has everything to do with portability and comfort — meaning it's best to invest in pieces that can be easily carried up and downstairs, folded up and tucked away when not needed, and still feel better to sit on than a bare concrete step. We suggest folding chairs for the top or bottom of your stoop and vibrant outdoor seat cushions for nestling into the steps, plus a folding table for cocktails and card games.

If you have a concrete patio...
Urban Outfitters Rattan Plant Stand
Whether your concrete patio is a cramped front balcony situation or ground-level outback setup that's facing a lovely brick wall, opening it up is as easy as adding in some greenery. Invest in tiered plant stands that will not only add levels to the minimal space but will also give new sunlight-reaching height to your green friends.

If you have a patch of grass...
Anthropologie Saratoga Hammock
If you're low on space, you're going to want to get elevated. Instead of monopolizing the already-limited green carpeting, invest in a hanging chair or freestanding hammock setup that will open up your abilities to sit back, relax, and enjoy it. (We also snuck in a cushy lounger in case you enjoy more of a down-to-earth kind of hang out.)
