Transform Your Garden With Decorative Lighting 

It’s about time the outside reflected what’s on the inside! It’s time to transform your garden with decorative lighting! 

As summer approaches, many of us are considering ways we can elevate our garden spaces. The trend of ‘indoor-outdoor’ living continues to grow in popularity, with outdoor bar areas, kitchens, dining and sitting areas.  

To make the most out of your garden this summer, it is time to invest in outdoor decorative lighting and this blog will explain why.  

Why Should You Transform Your Garden With Decorative Lighting? 

Many home designers who value aesthetics are now recognising exterior design as well as interior. Homes have so much character not only on the inside but on the outside too.  

Exterior decorative lighting helps to accentuate a home’s features and make an outdoor space more attractive and appealing. Above all this, it makes dim outdoor spaces safer to move around, allowing better visibility at nighttime for stairs, steps, balconies etc.  

There comes a point, after enjoying a summer’s day outside, with a barbecue, music, whatever it may be, when the fun has to move indoors, making more mess and spoiling the fun. Decorative lighting in the garden allows the party to stay outside, where intended. Get that holiday feeling all from the comfort of your own garden! 

How To Transform Your Garden With Decorative Lighting 

First and foremost, when transforming your garden with decorative lighting, you need to consider what areas you wish to highlight. Do you have an outside seating area? A porch? A pond? Pull out the features of your garden you most enjoy in the daylight and base your decorative lighting design around them.  

Floodlights  

If you have a large garden, floodlights are great options for highlighting the space. Many floodlights are combined with motion detectors, making them an asset for security purposes. 

Floodlights are very durable and provide a lot of light (hence the name). They are perfect for establishing an initial base layer of lighting, which can be built on to create dimension.
