All the time spent at home the last few years given us a deeper appreciation for our homes and backyards. With a little bit of smart planning and the right outdoor lighting solutions, you can transform your backyard into a fun outdoor entertaining area, so it’s ready for gatherings again.

Lighting not only offers safety and functionality, but it also sets the mood. Consider whether you’ll be using your outdoor area for situations requiring ambient lighting, like small gatherings, or whether your space needs to be brightly illuminated to ensure the safety of your guests and property.

Here’s how you can style your outdoor lighting options for any event.

Hanging globes and lanterns

Grouping hanging globes together can create a stunning, eclectic look. Bring out some cool lanterns to accentuate some areas better, and you’ll get a well-lit entertaining space that’s easily customisable to suit your home.

String lights

A popular choice for house parties, string lights bring a cosy feel to any area. Whether you hang them on tree branches or weave them over the chairs and tables, string lights are a great option which are easy to put up (and take down).

LED wall lights

Consider surrounding the exterior of your home with outdoor LED wall lights, which offer improved safety for your guests, especially if you have any uneven surfaces in your backyard. 

Not only are they great for entertaining, but they also work to deter potential intruders.

Smart garden lights

Make your garden the centre of attention by installing smart garden lights. Garden lighting is great for green-thumbed hosts who want to show off (or ensure guests stay a safe distance from) their gardens. Smart garden lighting options also allow you to easily control and automate the lights using your phone, so you won’t have to worry about anything while in the midst of entertaining guests. LED downlights can also be integrated for improved illumination in alfresco areas.
