Patio String Lights Fun and Elegant Accents for Patio Entertaining

Patio string lights have come a long way since the days of plastic red, yellow and green patio lanterns strung haphazardly around the porch railing. Now you can purchase a wide selection of lights in a multitude of colors and a variety of styles.

You can get very attractive lights to make your deck or patio look elegant and inviting. You can also purchase unique patio lights that can be fun to display. We have a nice set for our deck and a very tacky set for our tent trailer when we are camping.

But mention "patio lanterns" and we instantly hear Kim Mitchell singing:

Those patio lanterns
They were the stars in the sky
Those patio lanterns
Lighting up our lives
Those patio lanterns
They were the stars in the sky
Oh those patio lanterns

Thankfully (and maybe a little sadly), patio lights today encompass a whole range of outdoor lighting products, from tiki torches and patio string lighting and party lights, to candles, umbrella lights, and pedestal patio lanterns. As usual, with so many choices, you can be easily overwhelmed.

Don't let your search for perfect patio lights be a chore! There are lots of fun ways to set the mood for entertaining in the garden.
