Garden lighting can make a major difference to any outdoor space, bringing a sense of magic and wonder to your garden. Today we’ll be sharing three fun garden lighting techniques that you can use to elevate your garden.
Candle-lit Table
Everyone knows that candlelight is wonderfully romantic. There’s something about the flickering warmth that draws people in, enhancing any setting and bringing people together.
That being said, you don’t need to use real candles to create the effect of a candlelit table. Artificial candles are a safe, cheap, and easy alternative to real candles that, if properly protected from the rain, can last for a surprisingly long time. If you’re looking for a simple but effective trick to garden lighting, this is the way to go.
Magic Lamp Post
There’s something undeniably magical about the image of an old-fashioned lamp post surrounded by nature – particularly when it snows. Whether you’re a lover of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe and its iconic lamp post, or you just appreciate the charming, Victorian style, an outdoor lamp post is a great technique for bathing your whole garden in a magical glow.
Fairy Lights
Last but certainly not least, there’s nothing more magical than fireflies and fairies, and if you want to create that effect in your garden, then you need some simple fairy lights. Whether stringing them through the bushes or above the patio, fairy lights are easy to set up and can add a lot to your garden lighting – especially on those long summer evenings.
Even better, you can buy solar-powered fairy lights meaning you’ll never have to replace the battery or worry about their energy cost. Instead, you can just sit back and watch them twinkle away. And if you have any kids around, you might just tell them it’s the real thing!
Of course, no matter how you choose to light your garden, the important thing to know is that a few small changes can go a long way. Before you know it, you’ll be sat outside into the early hours of the morning, enjoying nature and delighting in your own private wonderland.
