With over 65,000 products, Krogen’s Do It Best of Boscobel, WI, knows that the secret to a happy home is in the details. From kitchen accessories and power tools to top-quality appliances, this supply superstore has your every household need covered. This fall, what better way to brighten up your happy home than with beautiful outdoor lighting?

If you’ve never experimented with such fixtures before, take advantage of these innovative outdoor lighting ideas from Krogen’s Do It Best:

• Patio String Lights: With these versatile outdoor lighting fixtures, you have free reign to ornament your backyard however you see fit, as well as change it from week to week without having to break a sweat. Since wiring is part of the fixture, you don’t need to worry about hiding it — it can actually create a beautiful canopy effect if you extend several strings over the length of your living space. For a subtle, constellation-like touch, just use a single string to highlight an outdoor sofa overhead. String lighting is also great for winding around or adhering to overhead structures like pergolas and trellises to create a more dramatic canopy effect.
• Hardscape Lighting: If you’ve taken the time to install a deck or other large hardscaping features in your backyard, it’s good to highlight those investments. Using LED tape or low-voltage deck lights, you can illuminate the parameters of your outdoor kitchen, barbecue, stair steps, or railings simply by placing lights underneath edges and borders.
• Lighting The View: Another great outdoor lighting idea is based on creating a relaxed atmosphere for those enjoying your patio. By keeping seating areas dim and illuminating the surrounding garden, your guests won’t feel as if they are on stage or being interrogated — instead, they can lounge on the patio and act as passive spectators of the glowing view around them. This effect can easily be achieved by uplighting statuary, water fixtures, or trees around your sitting area.

Whatever outdoor lighting best suits your backyard, Krogen’s Do It Best has the wide selection to make your autumn full of warmth, family, and fun. Call the supply store at (608) 375-4656 or visit the website to browse their unrivaled products. You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.
