Incorporate outdoor ideas that pull double duty
Decorative owl bug and mosquito zappers not only smarten up your yard for summer, but stop bugs in their tracks. You can also opt for an outdoor rug, which gives your patio a resort feel while absorbing noises and creating traction for wet feet.
Light up your patio
Stringing lights around the perimeter of your patio cover or along every slat packs a powerful punch all summer long. Try eco-friendly lighting, like Tektrum solar dragonfly lights, to not only spruce up your patio, but also save energy. Or hang glass jars with votive candles on anything that’ll stand still, including eaves, sun umbrellas and fences; just be aware of fire hazards.
