Outdoor lighting has come a long way from the days of patio lanterns and strings of lightbulbs. These days, there’s an exhaustive array of options available to illuminate your outdoor space, and make it more appealing and comfortable, particularly in the evenings.
Here are just a few ideas:
Solar garden lights. These lights are on stakes that can be easily inserted throughout the garden. Powered by the sun, they generate enough energy to cast a soft, pleasant glow along walkways or in flower beds in the evenings.
Deck post lights. These are easy to install because they’re designed to sit on top of a standard 4×4 wood deck post. They come in various styles, such as solar, wired, or lantern-style, and provide ambient lighting while improving security by illuminating dark areas.
Street-style lamps. They look similar to old-fashioned street lamps. Installation is a little more complex, but still DIY-friendly. They’re eye-catching and have a dramatic impact on the look of your outdoor space.
Portable lantern lights. Portable lantern lights are versatile, battery-powered or rechargeable and they look like a decorative fixture for a coffee table or side table. They can be placed anywhere.
LED walkway lights. These are small lights that fit neatly and almost invisibly under stairs and around walkways. They are durable, cost-effective, and available in various styles. Most are battery powered, but some can be solar powered for added convenience and sustainability.
Planter lights. This is one of the most interesting options. Each one is both a flowerpot and a light in one! The pot itself is translucent which allows the light inside to shine through.
Outdoor lighting can transform your outdoor spaces, making them more inviting and functional after dark, allowing for activities like entertaining, gardening, and relaxation to continue into the evening. Well-designed outdoor lighting can increase the curb appeal and overall value of a property by showcasing its exterior features effectively.
