Extending the Season on Your Patio

As summer gives way to shorter days and changing colors, get ready to enjoy your patio well into the beautiful fall season. It’s the perfect time of year to be outside. And here, we share a few ideas to help you make this patio season last as long as it can.

 

Delay the Dark with Evening Lighting

As the sun begins to set, extend your evening’s enjoyment with outdoor lighting. To make moving about more comfortable, hang a few of our solar-powered paper lanterns above the seating area and along darkened pathways. Candlelight sets a relaxing mood too. Open rattan lanterns paired with our flameless LED outdoor candles are a beautiful way to bring flickering light to the evening without the concern of a real flame. And glass hurricanes placed here and there soften and spread the romantic glow across the patio.

 

Gather Around the Fire

When that harvest chill starts to creep in, nothing says cozy like a dancing fire – and a fire pit is a safe and effortless way to create this quintessential fall experience on the patio. In our collection, you’ll find both classic and contemporary styles in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and heights to suit your space and your style.

And for smaller hints of a dancing flame, consider something from our collection of hand-poured soy-wax blend candles from Wax Buffalo. Their seasonal scents Autumn and Orchard are a beautifully fragrant complement to a relaxing fall evening.

 

Sink into the Comfort

A warm fire, a steaming cocoa, maybe a soft blanket too. All that’s left is a comfortable seat where you can curl up and enjoy them all. For a small space, you might choose a deep-cushioned lounge chair with a side table to set your drink when you’re done. Or maybe a wider sectional is the perfect spot to stretch out and relax with a good book. Decorative pillows in fall-inspired patterns and colors are a great way to celebrate the changing season and add another level of comfort too.

And don’t forget your feet. Consider adding a decorative outdoor area rug to keep your toes from those cold pavers underfoot. Like the pillows, a rug is also an easy and effective way to bring the textures and colors of the harvest season to your space.
