Extend Your Evening With Outdoor String Lights

[new_royalslider id=”4″]

Outdoor string lights are quickly taking the place of last year’s garden stools as the hottest trend in home decor. What’s interesting about both, is that they are heavily used indoors and outdoors, garden stools as side tables and outdoor string lights to add a little sparkle and glam to any space.

We have a small deck attached to a screened in porch and hope to add a triangle tarp sun canopy and some outdoor lights above this space. I personally love the casual zig-zag style of hanging these lights! If you don’t have a deck overhang, find a near by tree and string the lights between the branches and your home, or use posts and string lights to outline your porch space. Buy a little extra and wrap it around the trunk of a tree for mega sparkle!

Check out the outdoor string light inspiration above, as well as where to find some of my fav options by shopping the trend below. I picked up a fairly affordable set for Father’s Day at Restoration Hardware {$35 each}. A lot of places are having HUGE “after 4th of July” sales on all outdoor furniture and accessories, so now is a great time to buy!
