Don’t worry sun-lovers, summer has finally arrived and we’ve got some great ideas to help you enjoy the beautiful weather on your patio this summer!

 1. Decorative Throw Pillows

Create a cozy and comfy lounge space by adding some soft throw pillows to lean into. Pick from a large variety of designs to suit the style of your patio and give your guests a reason to stay just a little bit longer.

2. Patio Lights

The sun is going down but the party is still going – don’t panic, there’s a solution for that! String up some patio lights so you can continue to show off your deck and keep the mood alive.

3. Mason Jars

Looking for a new way to serve up cold beverages? Well, everyone knows mason jars are all the rage right now and they are a great way to make any drink feel unique and funky. And with a little creativity, any jar can be customized with a few simple craft supplies!

 4. Craft Beer Pints

Any beer drinker appreciates a nice pint glass to hold their precious summer beverage. Forget the sleeve this summer and upgrade to pint-size to satisfy everyone on the patio.

Tip: Frost your pints ahead of time in the freezer to make sure those drinks stay extra cold on a hot day.

5. Candle Lanterns and Bird Feeders

Looking for a way to attract more than just your friends to your patio? Try hanging a decorative bird feeder to bring nature to your deck and you can feel good knowing that you fed more than just your neighbours this summer.

If you want the birds but not the pesky mosquitos away, try putting citronella candles in your candle lanterns to create a warm atmosphere without the bites!
