Even if your garden is absolutely perfect, there is a way to make it look and feel better and more inviting just in time for the summer season. So, if you feel like you want to push your garden to the limits, read on to find out what impressive garden lighting can do for you…
Layout
Of course, natural lighting has a big part to play when we use our gardens, but what about those slow summer evenings which need to be lighter to help us guide our way around? Using ground spotlights, low hanging lamps, or even wall pendants will help make your garden look magical and help you see without ruining the atmosphere or a summer evening.
Shadows and highlights
There is so much fun to be had with garden lighting. Just choosing whether to place lighting in front or behind your favourite rose bush can have very different effects. Placing lighting in front can mean big shadows and lots of depth. If you opt for behind, then you’re letting the fabulous colour of your gardening efforts shine out all through the night.
Enchanting atmosphere
Garden can be truly magical places, full of memories of long summer days. So, why not intensify that magical feeling and place lighting around your ornaments, fountains, ponds or trailing up the steps of your decking? It’s the best way to emphasise your gardens amazing features, so you can see them all day long.
Engineer the space
If you’re space is physically not what you would like it to be, then here’s some good news – you can use lighting to change it! Adding depth to larger landscapes can make them appear smaller and more put together, whereas if you always dreamed of a larger space then ambient overhead lighting will keep your garden from closing in on you as the night time draws in.
Add or take away depth
Most gardens have one or two significant features which should be admired by all, at any time of the day or night. So use lighting around your favourite features. Spotlights can be used as a deliberate highlighter to catch your guest’s attention, or you can opt for something more subtle such as pendants. Whatever impression you want to make, be sure you’ve explored all the options you can.
Use garden lighting to your advantage
There are so many ways the garden lighting can help you have the best of times in your outside this summer. Choose from many wall and ground lighting to decking and pendantsoptions and don’t let the British summer go to waste!
