Spending a long overdue date night with your
significant other doesn’t have to be a costly night out at an overpriced
restaurant so crowded you feel rushed or so loud you can’t hear each other
speak. Date Night at home on a budget is a simple way and cost-effective
to enjoy quiet time with your loved one. With some simple tweaks to your
outdoor space, you can transform your ordinary pergola, patio cover, or
LifeRoom into a romantic spot to enjoy a meal and a glass of wine.
Set
the Mood with The Perfect Lighting
Faint spot lighting shined upon a set
table or twinkling fairy lights wrapped around your pergola trellis is an easy
way to turn an outdoor space into the prime location for romantic dinner. To
add a pop of color, hang unique paper lanterns in pink, white and red. No
electricity? No problem. Many manufacturers make battery-operated string and
paper lantern lights to bring glow to any space. If you’re looking for a more
traditional method of lighting up the night, try dripless or even flameless
taper candles (some even come with a flickering effect that give the
battery-operated candles a realistic look).
A
Little Privacy, Please?
If you are a LifeRoom owner, you’ll
know how priceless privacy is. With LifeRoom’s motorized retractable screens,
privacy is as easy as a 1… 2… 3… However, if your outdoor space is missing
privacy at a touch of a button but you are still looking for a simple and
cost-efficient way to add temporary privacy for your romantic Valentine’s Day
backyard dinner, sheer outdoor curtains is the next best option. Available at
any home goods store, outdoor curtains are easy to install and while provide
privacy, also give the space a romantic look.
Focus
on the Tablescape
Whether you are decorating your table
for two or ten, setting the table with Valentine’s-themed decor is simple and
can be done on a dime. Your tablescape can be colorful, fun and full of whimsy
or elegant and full of fancy. Whatever you decide, the pop of color a
tablescape brings is an easy way to make the table the focal point of the room
so you don’t have to transform the rest of the space for a single night.
