mounted up/down lights, whilst
the external dining table glows
with storm lanterns and spiked
Kew uplights to the tree.
The tree is further enhanced by
hanging Starliters, a light source
similar in appearance to a bird
feeder, that gently move and
twinkle in soft winds, creating
an almost magical effect.
Of course, gardens can come in
all shapes and sizes. Here this
country retreat is bathed with
wide washes of light, draw ing
you home.
And instead of lighting the drive
surface with bollard like fittings,
instead the trees themselves
have become guiding points.
Uplighting has helped enhance
their natural and almost
architectural beauty at night– a
view to be enjoyed from the
house too.
Consider picking out focal
points throughout your garden.
Here cleverly placed spiked
lights lead you along the box
balls to the dramatically uplight
urn at the end of the view.
Around the garden itself,
lighting can help create frames
to view and vistas. This elevated
sculpture is cross lit using two
1w Kew spotlights whilst the
perimeter of the garden is lit
with a combination of Kews and
Hampton flood lights to both
frame the space and create the
view to the end of the garden.
Whether extending the feeling
of space from the inside or
creating another room to enjoy
throughout the year, garden
lighting enhances the space
for the client and adds another
dimension to the design of the
garden.
