There are few better ways to enjoy the summer than by lighting the barbecue and bringing your family, friends and neighbours together for a glorious garden party. The days are getting sunnier, the evenings warmer – it makes sense to get outside, kick off your shoes, open a bottle and make the most of the time of year.
Getting the lighting right
Whether you’re hosting an impromptu gathering of close friends or a formal celebratory event, a little bit of preparation with lighting design will pay off. Think about the theme of the event, the people in attendance, the music and the clothes people will be wearing to make sure you choose the best lighting to keep the mood going after sunset.
Party Lighting
A happy ambience is vital for your party. Get the lighting right and you can host something special, whether it’s a large roof terrace or a humble patio you have to work with. As dusk comes around, smart lighting will help and encourage your guests to carry on into the early hours. Line lights, festoons and outsized globe shades are especially good at imparting a joyful, summer party feel. You could also experiment by weaving a trail of LED lights around railings, statues or tree branches.
Decking Lighting
If you’ve been dreaming of lighting up your decking area, we can guide you through the many options. Innovative decking lights can enliven your garden at night, helping you make lasting summer memories with your friends and family. LED walkover lights give a futuristic white-blue hue to surroundings, but you can choose the right shade for the night. Cost-effective and hard-wearing, our lights are weatherproof and can fully stand a spray of champagne or a spilt drink without hassle or damage.
Spotlights
Put the spotlight on your favourite features or interesting spaces for a classy, artful look. If you have an unusual plant, water feature or mural, why not highlight it with spot lighting? You can illuminate pathways, doorways, the bar or barbeque areas also to help guide your guests through the evening – it is even possible to immerse some spotlights underwater to make a showstopper of your pond!
Statement Lighting
When you really need to put on the works, give your garden the ‘Wow!’ factor with some jaw-dropping statement lighting. With choices in every shape, size, theme and colour, from seasonal characters to sophisticated larger hanging globes or low-level cubes, choosing the right statement lighting will really give your outdoor entertaining something special.
