Let There Be Light cont ...
“ Layers of different lighting techniques create not only a calming effect but also a party atmosphere . Spike lights light up the trees and TV wall whilst step lights guide you around the garden to the kitchen area . Adding contour strips to the seating area adds a playful layer of light . Downlights in the kitchen draw your eyes from the end of the garden through to the inside .”

ILLUMINATE THE GARDEN
Outdoor lighting is essential for setting the mood and adding a touch of decorative flair to a garden space , whatever the size . Well-balanced lighting is key and should always complement the overall design of the garden when executed effectively . Accentuate specific areas with mood lighting to create character and ambience , and use light to guide the eye around the garden by marking out paths and boundaries . For cosy , lounging patio areas add in wall lights for an effective and stylish finish that will provide just the right amount of light for those summer evenings . Create a focal point with low-hanging pendants above a pergola or outdoor dining area , this will leave the space feeling super on-trend . Garden lighting and fire-pits go hand in hand , choose candles , lanterns and fairy lights to contribute to the vibe and overall atmosphere . Add in wireless solar-powered lights , and incorporate into borders , paths or hedgerows – an environmentally friendly alternative available in an array of shapes and sizes to fit in with any theme .
Today , lighting possibilities allow us to transform our spaces into magical landscapes . Whether it ’ s bohemian and relaxed with hundreds of fairy lights and candles , an uber-modern seamless lighting scheme or something a little more eco-friendly and solar focussed , there ’ s something for everyone . Make the perfect transition from day to night , with great exterior lighting .
