Light on the terrace!
The patio is undoubtedly the most convivial spot during the warm season! To enhance it and enjoy it to the fullest, lighting is essential. Pendants, string lights, or wall sconces, the choice is vast and the possibilities endless!
Wall Sconces
Discreet and practical, wall sconces are usually installed on the house facade, a shed, a porch, etc. They produce a wide and generous light beam and can be equipped with more powerful bulbs and a motion sensor.
Spotlights
As direct light sources, spotlights emphasize a specific area. Fixed, adjustable, recessed, or staked into the ground, they cast a warm light and are perfect for illuminating a pathway, a flowerbed, or a step.
Pendants
Do you have a covered patio? A pendant will diffuse a beautiful, warm light and provide ideal illumination above the table! Be careful not to over-illuminate; instead, add other light sources such as spotlights, bollards, etc.
Landscape Lighting
These can come in various forms (pillars, lanterns, etc.) and effectively illuminate the patio floor, a pathway, or the perimeter of a pool, by offering wide downward lighting.
String Lights
Ideal for giving a festive air to your outdoor space, they can be wrapped around a tree branch, attached to a wall, hung from a bench, or installed above the patio. Choose ones specifically designed for outdoor use.
3 brilliant tips!
