If you're enjoying summer, you may be spending a lot of time outdoors and there's nothing quite like sitting in the evening when it starts to get dark, cold drink in hand and some quiet time or favourite music in the background.
Although the evenings are long at the moment, it's nice to have a little extra lighting, a few twinkles here and there to brighten the way and add a much more cosy relaxed atmosphere to your outside space. There are lots of ways to light the garden, here's a few that are perfect right now and hopefully for a good few weeks to come. If the weather should switch, you may just want to pick some of these up in the sales for next summer!
1. String canopy lighting | 2. Fairy light lanterns | 3. Solar powered ground spot lights | 4. Glass jar string lights | 5. Edison light garland | 6. Galvanised lanterns | 7. Outdoor strip lighting | 8. Patio chimenea | 9. Glass bauble tealight holders
I don't think you can beat the comfort of an actual open fire, with chimeneas and fire pits you get a little heat as well as a little ambient light and sound to match. If you're not a fan of fires, cables and electrics outside, then there's plenty of solar powered options like decking spot lights and twinkling fairy lights.
There's also antique style lighting and more traditional tea light holders to help create that extra cute and twinkly evening lighting. Whatever your outdoor space is like, there's plenty of options now and there's no reason outdoor lights should just be for Christmas!
Are you enjoying your garden this summer?
