Winter weather doesn’t mean you have to hole up indoors and fight off cabin fever. Instead, you can upgrade your outdoor living space by bringing the comforts of home outside. Here are three key ways to prepare your outdoor living area for winter.

3 Ways to Winterize Your Outdoor Living Space

1. Add More Lighting

With limited hours of daylight in winter, incorporating additional outdoor lighting will illuminate your space and make it more conducive to entertaining. Hang bistro lights from trees, add LED lights to planters, or enhance your walkways with pathway lamps. 

2. Incorporate a Fire Pit

Whether you’re stargazing or toasting marshmallows, a fire pit will also provide ambiance for a cozy gathering.

3. Partially Enclose the Space

To stay warm while still enjoying the great outdoors, install an enclosure, such as a pergola. A covered structure will provide a shield against any snow and harsh winter winds. Plus, it will protect your fire pit and keep it blazing hot throughout the evening.
