With the weather warming up, it’s time to get outdoors and enjoy your yard. So many people take their yard for granted. It can be the best place to experience the excitement of Summer.
The days of Summer can be too hot to entertain though, making night the perfect time to gather around and celebrate your friendships and the new season.
Houston Lightscapes has 4 lighting tips for successfully entertaining outdoors. Make each idea your own for a gorgeous outdoor lighting experience.
Path Lighting
Path Lighting is the most important type of lighting when thinking about entertaining at your home. It includes walkway lighting, step lighting and post and fence lighting. If your guests can’t find their way around, your get-together isn’t off to a great start.
Path Lighting makes the visit safe and beautiful for your guests, and guides them through the experience of being at your home. It highlights the entry points and small features of your home that are usually overlooked.
Stylistically, there are endless options that could fit in with your landscape. From modern options to more traditional or rustic path lights, the design can be entirely personalized.
Deck Lighting
If you have a deck or patio, deck lighting is going to be crucial for nighttime entertaining. You can highlight your outdoor decor and grill out on the patio.
You want to create a warm inviting space for your friends and family; a place they want to revisit. Imagine soft ambient outdoor lighting illuminating a group of your loved ones who are enjoying time together. Deck lighting can make your patio the highlight of your party.
Garden Lighting
If you have a dining area or lounging area set up in the garden, this is a great spot to utilize outdoor lighting.
Not only can you arrange lighting around the seated area, but you can also highlight your plants are flowers.
