How To Create A Summer Hangout Spot With Outdoor Patio Lights

After months of cold and wet weather, people across the country are more than ready to throw open their windows and let the warm summer weather in. Be careful though! Within just a few weeks those warm spring breezes will turn to heavy, hot summer air and it will be time to crank up the air conditioning. If you don’t have air conditioning, or would rather not face the elevated energy bills that come along with it, spending time outside after the sun goes down is a great way to cool down quickly. Keep reading to find out how outdoor patio lights can help turn your porch, deck, or backyard into a sweet summer hangout spot!

Illuminate A Porch Swing Or Hammock

Outdoor patio lights come in many shapes in sizes. If you’ve got a porch swing or hammock, our LED light ropes are a great way to turn it into a magical lounge space. Wind these outdoor patio lights around the suspension chains or swing stand to add sparkle to your seating, and switch them on instead of the overhead light for more subtle illumination.

Light Up A Screened In Porch

Do you have a screened in porch or outdoor sunroom? Add privacy as well as versatile lighting with our LED curtain lights. Hang them from the ceiling and allow them to fall flush against the screen. It will be like hanging out in a room of fireflies!

Make Potted Plants Sparkle

Has your green thumb yielded lots of lovely potted plants and bushes? Use our LED string lights in various colors to create areas of accent color that support the mood you’re going for: blue for peace and relaxation, yellow for happiness and optimism, or purple for luxury and romance. Shop our full selection of patio lighting and accessories to create a summer hangout spot you’ll want to use all season long!
