Is it summer yet? While the weather outside clearly doesn’t indicate it, sunny days and warmer temps are coming sooner than you think—which means that before you know it, you’ll be planning outdoor barbecues, cocktail parties, and backyard festivities galore.

Impress your guests and spruce up your living space with Ikea’s new summer selection of entertaining essentials, aimed at the outdoors. Launched just yesterday, the collection boasts a huge array of twinkly lights, colorful decor, and textured designs that make us wish it was summer already—but after buying a few of these items, you just might be fooled into thinking it is.

String Lights, $29.99

You can never have enough string lights. This tinted LED chain will add a dramatic spin to your patio.
