With the cooler months upon us, you’ll be glad to know that there are lighting and heating options available that can keep your outdoor entertaining area in use all year round. With the right lighting and heating solutions, you can create an inviting, warm and cosy outdoor area where the entertainment continues well into the night!

Use path lights

The use of path lights increases safety by illuminating paths, driveways and steps. Installing globes or garden lighting options along the edges of these walkways is an easy yet efficient way of improving visibility and preventing accidents. We suggest that you choose softer lights for these purposes as the glare from brighter lights can be harsher on the eyes. 

Set the ambience 

Playing with uplights and downlights is a great way to find the perfect ambience you’re after for the occasion. Uplights and downlights are great at highlighting key landscape elements to help set the stage for the evening. 

The right lighting combination is also critical in enhancing the mood. Again, we suggest softer options to minimise the glare and severity of the light. Integrating the lights with the surrounding landscape is a great way to incorporate statement elements of your backyard into the overall outdoor entertaining area. For example, lighting up trees adds an enchanted touch. 

Include a fire pit for added warmth

Including a fire pit in your outdoor area is a fantastic and effective way of tying up all of the elements you have used to warm up your space. Fire pits are functional and practical additions that provide a toasty warmth to those chilly nights. There’s truly no better feeling than crowding around the fire pit while enjoying the company of friends and family.
