Use Outdoor Lighting To Transform Your Garden

July 7, 2011 - PRLog -- During the summer months sitting in your garden late into the evening can be one of the most wonderful experiences you can have. In fact for many people being able to spend your evenings outside is one of the most enjoyable things about summer.


However, if you don’t have outdoor lighting it can make utilising your outside space during the evening more difficult. Installing some outdoor lighting in your home will mean that you can sit out in your garden or outside space for as long as you wish and enjoy the cool summer nights.


There are several types of outdoor lighting to choose from and you can find several lights on the market which have less impact on the environment than conventional lighting. In addition there are lights available which do not become hot, meaning that they do not attract those annoying insects which have long been associated with summer evenings.


Not only will outdoor lighting extend the amount of time you can spend outside, but it will also change the atmosphere of your garden and can create an almost magical mood if placed correctly. One way to produce a fairy like effect is to place lights within your trees. This look is certainly not just for Christmas and can look extremely chic, giving your garden a Parisian flavour.


Or you can choose wall lighting to highlight your exterior walls. This can appear very dramatic and uplighting will even make your home look larger and taller. For an intimate feel why not consider lighting your garden pathways. Lights going off into the distance will make your garden seem both mysterious and enticing and will make you want to explore into the depths.


The lights you choose do not have to be the conventional colour either, you can choose any hue you desire, or you can even find lighting which gradually changes colour meaning that the look of your garden will evolve with every passing minute.


Green lighting can look great used to highlight plats an bushes, and blue lighting works particularly well around water features. If you want to create a really cosy atmosphere then choose lights with a warm orange glow. This will mimic candlelight and give an intimate feel.


So if you want to spend more time in your garden and utilise it just as much at night as you do during the day then consider installing some outdoor lighting.
