It's all about good lighting. This is especially true for your outdoor space. Even if you have a small balcony, lighting can be a great way to draw your eyes outside. Consider using solar lights, which give you the advantage of not having to use (or trying to find) an outlet. Here are a few of our favorites:
We love the clean and modern lines of this
HomeBrite Solar Stainless Steel walkway light. Even though it's meant to light up a pathway, we think if you lined a wall of your balcony or patio with planters, a few of these stuck in between could be a nice touch. If you want something more subtle and camouflaged, a couple of these
HomeBrite Solar Rock spotlights integrated within, say a succulent garden could give some added drama. And finally
solar string lights are always a great way to bring ambiance and charm. There are several solar versions available in the market, and
some even come with
different styles of covers that can be interchangeable.
so happy that companies are continuing to come out with great options. been looking to update my front door light. thanks!

why do they have to have a "faux rock" solar panel? Why not just a simple, clean panel? I'm looking for sleek modern design and it's next to impossible to find because these companies always feel the need to make things cutsey (dragong fly add on, YUK!) or masking things poorly (faux rock that LOOKS FAKE a mile away!)
I just want simple solar powered string lights without embelishments of any sort... is that too much to ask for?

silly editing points:
- hyperlink the phrase "string lights" instead of some.
- using a colon makes me think you're going to list out items (isn't that the point of the post?), so list them out instead of making us hunt through that dense little paragraph.
It's disappointing how expensive solar lights are though. The string lights are on sale for $69.99 (usually $100) and only have 14 lights. yikes!

No -- 104 lights -- it's 40 feet long or 12 metres

OOPS: I went to Mr Lights not the link with 'cover variations' which is where the pic at the top of the post is from. Yes, they are expensive, but here is the 'bargain'
here is the link
