Our golden rule when it comes to illuminating your outdoor space is to layer your lighting at three levels.,' says Lights4fun.co.uk’s Director of Product, Amy Mason. 'Start overhead with solar festoon lights adorning trees, the roof of your pergola or the side of your house to complement the stars in the night sky.
'Place small solar lanterns on table tops and side tables for a soft twinkle at eye-level. Complement with larger lanterns positioned at the foot of your decking, pergola or porch area. Finally, position solar stake lights in flowerbeds or along a pathway to lead you home as dusk begins to fall, creating an even glow throughout your space’.
‘For many, our gardens have become a retreat from our busy, everyday lives,' says thesolarcentre.co.uk. 'So the importance of creating your own corner of calm is even more necessary for our mental wellbeing. Twinkly fairy lights in warm white create the perfect ambience to relax and unwind at the end of the day. Solar spotlights are also a perfect way to highlight your favourite garden feature, whether that’s a tree, hedging, seating area or decorative fence panels. We say to light up what makes you happy!
