Decorating to Enjoy Time Together Outdoors in the Winter Months
Winter doesn’t have to send everyone indoors. With the right lighting and warmth, you can turn your patio, deck, or backyard into a cozy gathering space — perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying quiet moments together. Here’s how to decorate your outdoor area for winter using firelight and Allsop Home & Garden’s most-loved solar products.
1. Gather Around a Winter Fire Pit
A fire pit is the easiest way to make winter evenings comfortable and inviting. Arrange weather-friendly seating around the fire, add outdoor blankets, and keep a small table nearby for warm drinks. The glow of a fire becomes a natural centerpiece that encourages everyone to linger longer.
2. Add Ambiance with Solar Lanterns
Winter’s early sunsets are the perfect backdrop for Allsop’s Solar Lanterns. These lanterns turn on automatically at dusk and create beautiful patterns that elevate any outdoor space.

3. Create a Winter "Outdoor Room" with Pendant Lighting
An outdoor pendant lamp adds instant atmosphere — especially over a dining table or lounge setup. The Stella Nova Pendant Lamp Collection brings soft, patterned light that makes any space feel thoughtfully designed and winter-ready.

4. Layer in Cozy, Cold-Weather Details
Complete your winter outdoor setup with:
- Outdoor rugs for warmth underfoot
- Cushions and throws in weather-ready fabrics
- Potted evergreens or seasonal branches for natural texture
These small touches make the space feel warm, inviting, and perfect for gathering.
Enjoy Winter Together Outdoors
With a glowing fire pit, Allsop solar lanterns, and a statement pendant lamp, your winter outdoor space becomes a cozy retreat you’ll want to use all season long. Create an atmosphere that brings people together — even on the chilliest nights.
