String lights have become a backyard staple, and for good reason. Their soft, cozy glow transforms any backyard into an inviting retreat.
Here are 5 creative trends involving string lights we love:
- Vintage warmth – String lights come in a variety of styles, colors, and hues. We love the trend of incorporating a classic yellow-hued glow with retro bulbs for a vintage feel. The result transports you to another time as soon as you step out on the patio.
- Multi-colored and color-changing fun – You can also find string lights that are multi-colored, and LED varieties can also change color on demand. This creates endless possibilities to set the mood in your backyard, from supporting your team colors for game day to adding interest to your space with multi-colored fades.
- Fairy light curtains – String lights are often strung horizontally, acting as a light canopy over an outdoor space. Fairy light curtains offer an alternative option, draping tiny lights vertically to create a cascade of light.
- Lantern–style string lights – These unique string lights are popping up more and more, with each light encased in a lantern-style shade. Lantern-style string lights will add a rustic flair to your outdoor retreat.
- Solar-powered string lights – An eco-friendly option, solar-powered string lights are becoming more readily available and reliable than ever, with plenty of styles to choose from. Save on your energy bills by letting the sun power your evening ambiance.
