Dining and relaxing under the stars is one of the most relaxing activities you can do in your backyard, but it’s not exactly doable without an illuminated space. An easy and affordable way to add some light to your space is with some pretty string lights. They come in a variety of shapes–from popular Edison bulbs to spherical bulbs. No backyard space is complete without string lights—not only do they add light so you can see, but they also add a cozy ambiance that’ll make your patio feel like an extension of your indoor living room. You can hang them from an outdoor gazebo, from tree to tree, or wrap them around planters for an unexpected, fun accent.
