Cozy Summer Courtyards: Create the Glow Outdoors. With summer temperatures in the 100’s everyday, we often only look forward to spending time in our yards in the evenings, so why not give your outdoor space a refresh? What better way to bring your space to life than with lighting! There is a golden rule of ‘lighting at three levels’ to layer your lighting which includes: on the ground, on tabletops and overhead to create an even glow throughout your yard.
Achieving that calming ambience within your space is an important aspect of any home. Particularly after a long week at work, having somewhere we feel we can escape to and relax is a must-have. Lights4fun has revealed their top tips for creating that sense of tranquility in your yard and how lighting can make your set-up super cozy!
For outdoor dining during the summer months, Lights4fun recommends creating a canopy of string lights hung above your table to help set the mood. Ideal for a date night with your loved one at home, warm white lights will introduce a truly cozy feel once darkness falls. Make sure you pay attention to your table décor to create the picture-perfect setting! Use a linen tablecloth and arrange flameless candles in the middle of the table as a warming centerpiece. Lights4fun’s TruGlow® Outdoor Flameless Candle Trio is safe to sit alongside fabrics, as there’s no worry of real flames. Curtain lights also work perfectly as a backdrop for courtyards or patios and can be draped between trees or against walls for a sparkling display.
Filling floor space has never been so easy thanks to outdoor lanterns! Not only are they a stylish feature by the day, they are a shining showpiece by night. According to Lights4fun, warm white lighting and black metal is a timeless combination which continues to remain on-trend. Their Flame Effect Outdoor Lantern Trio is ideal for summer evenings, radiating a soft shine to bring your yard to life by night. To add a little light overhead, festoon lights look great in every space. Hang them high above your set-up or drape them along fences, the styling options are endless!
For the ultimate all-round glowing display, Lights4fun suggests incorporating a variation of lighting at different levels. Surround your seating area with decorative lights to make it most inviting, entwining string lights around patio umbrellas or distributing flameless candles on tables and on the floor. Complete the look with a selection of décor, scattering outdoor pillows and blankets on your furniture to make it super comfy. Once you’re happy with your arrangement, all that’s left to do is to grab a glass of your favorite drink before sitting back & relaxing into the evening.
You can easily transform your home into a cozy haven!
