Heating a Patio in Fall
The biggest objective to tackle when gearing your patio up for use in the fall is how to keep it comfortable. Autumn evenings can get pretty chilly, so offering your friends and family ways to stay warm is a must.
Heating your patio can be done in several ways. The easiest is to simply add plenty of blankets for snuggling and covering up. Fleece and cotton blankets are the best for those cool nights, as those materials are soft and provide an insulated layer of warmth.
Another way to add heat to your patio is with outdoor heating items like fire pits or heaters. These items provide warmth from propane, firewood or other fuel that throws off heat.
Patio Lighting
Another way to extend your patio’s use into the fall season is to add outdoor lighting options to illuminate the space. Since the sun sets earlier in the fall, lighting is key to keeping the outdoor festivities going.
You can install permanent lights on your patio to ensure proper illumination year round. You can also choose to incorporate decorative lanterns, lamps, string lights and solar lights into your outdoor space to offer versatile lighting in the spaces you need it, as you need it.
Decorating Your Patio for Fall Holidays
Another way to make guests feel welcome and cozy on your outdoor patio is by decorating for the time of the year. This sets the tone for your get-togethers and provides your guests with a space that feels ready for the season.
Halloween and Thanksgiving are the major fall holidays you can decorate for. When Halloween rolls around, add pumpkins and spooky accents that capture the style of the season. After October, gear up for Thanksgiving by decorating with leaf wreaths, seasonal outdoor throw pillows, welcome mats and more.
Lots of fall decorations come in orange, yellow, brown and other natural colors, capturing the earthy tones that are commonly found during fall.
