String Lighting
String lighting isn’t just for the holidays! It can be used year round as an inexpensive and decorative way to light your outdoor space. Take a look below, as the string lighting perfectly blends in with the trees and the rest of the patio.

Lamp Posts
It might seem old fashioned, but lamp posts can add somewhat of an stylish touch to your outdoor space. Good for the front or backyard, lamp posts offer extremely good lighting, meaning you won’t need more than a couple to get the desired effect.
Fire Pit
If you’re looking for a solution that doesn’t require electricity, a fire pit is a great addition to many types of backyards. It’s a great place to sit around on cool, windy nights, and can be the centerpiece of your outdoor space.
