OUTDOOR PIECES

What’s one thing every outdoor space needs? A warm fire where folks can congregate after the sun goes down. This Bristol round fire pit combines chic metal elements and stylish slate accents that will handsomely go with your patio. At 35″ diameter, it’s ideal as a focal point for smaller spaces, or for creating its own cozy area in a larger space. Either way, at this price you don’t want to give this deal a cold shoulder.

Of course if you’re planning a cozy time by the fire, you need a place to sit. This natural dark oil finish acacia wood chair is both sleek and inviting. The 5″ thick cushions are weather and fade resistant, ensuring many comfortable nights for you. But what about your guests? This is actually part of a modular set which includes additional side chairs and even a corner unit. You can purchase one or more separately, creating just the perfect size gathering area for your space.

Having a smaller space comes with its challenges, namely how to have a great entertaining area where guests can drink and eat without feeling cramped. This outdoor table and chair set puts everyone at bar height, and comes with four sturdy but comfortable rattan bar stools (no chair arms allows guests to sit closely in comfort). The rectangular table has plenty of real estate for folks to place their food and drinks on. And when not in use, the stools slide under the table, keeping it compact and out of the way. And while we’ve seen similar sets at four figures, you can have this entire set for under four hundred.

Do you have an area in your outdoor space where you could use an occasional light? Maybe it’s a side entrance you prefer visitors to use, rather than going through your house. This outdoor wall light with sconce is motion activated, so it gives plenty of illumination to clear your guests’ path, but won’t be a constant glare disrupting your carefully designed backyard lighting mood.

Each one is slightly different, giving them a unique look and feel. String them together or place them individually via a 20 foot wire to the transformer unit.

FANTASTIC FANS

One of the best ways to beat the heat, both indoors and out, is a quality ceiling fan. By keeping the air circulating in your space, fans create draft, which allows your body to cool down. Studies have shown that having an indoor ceiling fan working in conjunction with your AC can save you money and energy (because cooler air is spread throughout the space so the AC doesn’t have to work as hard). Even without an AC unit inside, or in an outdoor area, the wind-chill effect of a ceiling fan is a no sweat decision.

This sleek chrome beauty will fit right in with a modern, contemporary interior. We were immediately drawn to its unique lighting arrangement, which can be set up in a flat ring style or (as shown in the picture below) angled out to create a distinctive look. With three, 56 inch blades, this indoor fan is ready to keep things moving.

Does your decor lean more coastal? Then this oil-brushed bronze beauty should be in your home.

Being a five blade fan, this fellow will also run quieter than a three blade and the bright LED offers great lighting for your space.
