Lighting
Winter days can be dark and gloomy, but your outdoor area doesn’t have to be! Lighting is essential for an inviting outdoor space, especially at night. Subtle, atmospheric lights work best. Decorative lanterns add character, color, and warmth to any area, while candles provide a warm, ambient glow. Candles come in various colors, shapes, sizes, and scents to enhance the aesthetic of your outdoor space. Fairy lights can also add a festive touch, perfect for parties or casual gatherings.
