Autumn Outdoor Living and Lighting
As Summer ends and Fall begins, the daylight hours continue to get shorter and shorter. However, you don’t have to give up on enjoying your Tulsa outdoor living space. With a firepit or outdoor fireplace and landscape lighting, you can have countless hours of fun with family and friends enjoying your outdoor spaces. Autumn outdoor living and lighting go hand in hand.
Fall is a great time of year for outdoor living. In this season, we have dancing leaves, the unmistakable scents of autumn as neighbors light their fireplaces and fire pits. Certainly, this is the perfect time to watch football in your outdoor living room. If you want to spend more time outdoors this Fall, we have a few lighting tips for how to make it more enjoyable.
Lighting Tips for Better Outdoor Living
To fully enjoy our Fall outdoor living spaces, we need to properly light the landscape. This does not mean harsh overhead lights. On the contrary, we want to gently bath the landscape with a soft, warm glow that is subdued and inviting. To accomplish this, it is best to have low voltage lighting from multiple sources. We wat to increase the functionality and character of the property.
Types of Lights in The Landscape
- Shatterproof String Lights – Make sure these are weatherproof and rated for outdoor use.
- Hardscape Lights – Use garden wall and seat wall accent lights to soften the look of the landscape.
- Candles – Cautiously use real candles or purchase flameless LED candles.
- Fire Features – For a warm glow and comfort, install a fire pit, fire table, or outdoor fireplace.
- Landscape Lights – Add multiple garden accent lights and “up light” trees!
Keep it Cozy
Without a doubt, you want to keep your guests comfortable on cool Fall evenings. To do this, a fire pit, fire table, or beautifully constructed outdoor fireplace provides a warm gathering spot that will be the focal point of your Tulsa outdoor living space. In addition, you may want to drape soft blankets on seat walls and outdoor furniture.
