If you’re like me and you love entertaining outdoors, don’t let cooler temperatures deter you from transforming your outdoor space into an inviting fall gathering place. Here are a few tips to prep for fall gatherings:
Amp up the cozy with extra throw blankets and outdoor pillows. Fleece is easy to clean, super comfy to curl up in, and easy to find at most retail stores. Outdoor pillows can be found on sale this time of year, or you can change your pillow covers to match your fall décor.
Light it up! A well-lit patio is a must for safety, but you also want an inviting ambience, and lighting is key. A wide array of light strands can be found on Amazon.com, but we really love the effect of flickering candlelight, and hurricane lanterns are everywhere this time of year! Electric versions are also available, if you have little ones around.
Speaking of real flame, thanks to the new Real Flame Gel Fuel, you can enjoy fire on your patio, even if your outdoor area is smaller. Gel fireplaces burn without ash or smoke, so they’re perfect for city spaces.
Put out a few pumpkins and gourds along with some fall-hued flowers, and you’re ready for a wonderful brunch or afternoon gathering!
