Hey all. Just had this pergola built (and a old wood deck demoed and replaced with tile) this week and while I LOVE my pergola and its eveything I ever wanted, I instinctively assumed I'd add string lights to the "ceiling" of it.

Now that it's built and I've got my lighting behind it, I don't know if it would look nice if I added them or not. Would it be too much? Would it cheapen the overall look?

I've got wall lights on the exterior of my house that do a decent job lighting up the area, so I'm not starved for more lighting

What would you folks do in my situation? Would you add to the rafter or leave it as is?

Also, any design tips would be greatly appreciated. I'm ordering a new table ASAP but don't know if I should go for stone cement, or wicker to match the furniture. I'll gladly take advice on that too 🙂

(Also I'm super OCD and prone to panic so please if you don't like the tile or the pergola keep it to yourself 🙂

thanks!
