Can you believe that spring is just a little under a month
away? We can't either. This winter has overstayed it's welcome. But, just
because we're thinking warm thoughts, doesn't make them true. It's still winter
and it's a notoriously hard season to decorate for. Once Christmas is over,
what do you do with your patio until spring? In this blog, we're going to cover
some end of winter
patio decorating ideas and tips to get you through until spring.
Vibrant Flowers
Some vibrant winter flowers may be just what you need to
help you transition between winter and spring. Something like a poinsettia will
stand out on your NC patio, especially on a background of snow. They are easy
to care for, for the short time you'll be displaying them. Another idea is to
use evergreen boughs as an accent in empty planters and flowerboxes.
Ambient Lighting
While it may not be appropriate to have flashy Christmas
lights up anymore, some dim, ambient lighting can do the trick. Some soft white
LED lights can be used to trim your NC patio. You can continue to spread a
little cheer, but not overdo it.
Outdoor Fireplace
An outdoor
fireplace can be the perfect addition to any patio. People all around NC
love them because an outdoor fireplace extends the use of their patio by
months. Imagine beating those chilly fall, early winter, late winter and early
spring nights with a cup of hot chocolate by your outdoor fireplace. Now is the
perfect time to start planning for one. You can have it installed soon and be
more than prepared for our next cold snap.
