6 Amazing Ways to Transform Your Porch
While large backyard spaces set the imagination on fire with creative ideas, tight spaces such as apartment patios are more challenging. This summer, create a backyard patio to make your neighbors green with envy.
Even if you don’t have the big outdoors in your backyard, it shouldn’t stop you from having the porch of your dreams.
Selecting the right outdoor lights and exploring your creative instincts are key to your next ‘porch makeover’. Take a look at our handpicked ideas for some dazzling ways to light up your apartment porch.
1. Paper Lanterns
Paper lanterns are delightful, easy on the pocket and even available as string lights. Take a look at this small patio with a romantic setup with some of the very basic ingredients that never fail to impress.
Try installing string lights randomly and surprise yourself and your neighbors with a chic and unwinding ambiance.
2. Edison Canopy
Big city apartments are synonymous with small spaces and this one fits snugly into the description. When Edison bulbs became all the rage in Brooklyn cafes’ style statements, it was only a matter of time before they hit home décor.
Hang an Edison Canopy along the stretch of your patio, or a seating nook, blending the look with LED candle lanterns to create your own personal cafe. You can get them in three different colors – white, black, and green – in our shop.

3. Glowing Side Tables
Getting creative with outdoor lights means that you get the chance to connect with nature. Robin, a home decor lover, and blogger introduces this concept like a breath of fresh air. We love how she converts a simple side table into a design element of her entire patio.
4. Twisted Fairy Lights
Fairy lights aren’t just for Christmas. We all know the drill of twisting fairy string lights around the patio railing and while that’s nice, try entwining it around a simple garden trellis to highlight your walls for that added touch.

You can choose from a wide variety of lights to decorate these forgotten pieces. Meanwhile, you’ll be flaunting your artistic talents for all your guests and neighbors.
