With the popular trend of creating a seamless flow from your home to your garden, outdoor lighting is now an important consideration in creating this look. Gone are the days when the choices for garden lighting were limited to plain, uninteresting white security type lighting, today’s modern designs are just as stylish and varied as those you would find inside the home.

Customers are also much more environmentally conscious than ever before and many of the newer weatherproof fittings are compatible with modern LED bulbs. They work by housing the bulbs and protecting them from the elements. LED bulbs certainly tick the eco-friendly box, being not only energy efficient but also having incredibly long lives. The bulbs are also now available in a variety of shapes and colours, to help you achieve the exact look you desire. This could be different depending on the intended use, for example, you may wish to select a bright white bulb for practical reasons such as lighting up a pathway, whilst something more subtle like a vintage style amber bulb could be used for creating a softer atmosphere for outdoor dining.

Metallic finishes on outdoor lighting is definitely a trend that’s set to continue and lends itself well to coordinating with other garden accessories and furniture. As well as adding interest with texture and shine, copper and brass lights will add a sense of luxury to an outside space. Bold shapes are also set to be big and are great for creating a statement. Modern designs come in all shapes and sizes and can really help to further enhance the overall look of the outdoor area.
