Create A Beautiful Nighttime Patio Environment With A Chandelier 

Effective outdoor lighting can be frustrating to achieve. Yet, simply thinking a bit unconventionally can result in a creative, interesting way to light your outdoor areas for endless hours of post-sunset fun.

Christmas lights do not have to look trashy when kept outdoors all year round! They can be classy, customizable and easy. We recommend sticking with small white bulbs. Wrapping a string of them around tree trunks and branches can give a starry, not to mention romantic, effective.

In a bind when it comes to lighting and need a quick solution? Candles, candles, candles! They come in millions of sizes and scents. Citronella candles will even keep the bugs away. Get creative with the presentation, too. Cluster them in varying shapes and sizes. Sticking candles in unexpected holders will add unique character to a space as well; try mugs, buckets and old teapots.

Add a chandelier. Crazy it is not, more like original and eye-catching. If you have a partially enclosed patio, one that is a bit more sheltered from the elements, a crystal chandelier will look endlessly sophisticated. Decorate around the upscale chandelier and create a one-of-a-kind posh outdoor living environment. Even if your ideal outdoor setting is a bit more laidback, a chandelier is a wonderful lighting solution. A sturdy wrought iron chandelier mounted to an awning will perfectly complement any kind of down-to-earth style whether it be French-country or sea-inspired. If you’re going for a sleek, more Swedish style outdoor setting, a modern chandelier would look fantastic. Any way you choose, chandeliers are a great option for people who would like to accent the design of their outdoor area, rather than just stick a light anywhere.

Lastly, there are the tried and true outdoor lighting staples, the tiki torch and the lantern. While not the most creative initially, they definitely are effective. There are ways to tailor these common lights in a not-so-everyday way, however. Make your own lanterns from unused items around the house, similar to the candle holders. Tiki torches are now also made in a variety of styles, not just the Hawaiian bamboo giant we all associate them with.
