How to Enhance Outdoor Lighting for Endless Evening Entertainment
Other than providing safety and security, your outdoor lighting can help create an environment that extends beyond your home, allowing you to entertain, relax, and enjoy your outdoor areas well into the summer nights.
By taking careful consideration of how you are enhancing or designing your outdoor entertainment space, you can transform how you use the area while creating the perfect atmosphere for gatherings with your friends and family.
Layered lighting ambience
Good outdoor lighting relies on layering different types of light to create depth and ambience. Combine wall-mounted fixtures like the Murchison to provide general illumination along pathways and seating areas, with directional lights like the Riversdale to help highlight design features and landscaping. When you apply this layered approach, you are able to adjust the mood for different occasions.
Weather-resistant solutions
It’s important to take the weather into consideration when it comes to selecting the right lighting for your space. Look for stainless steel builds that handle moisture, temperature, and UV exposure. Outdoor products like the Cardrona offer both durability and flexibility for any situation, perfect for standing up to New Zealand’s weather conditions.
Create seamless transitions
Successful outdoor lighting designs blur the line between indoor and outdoor living. Choose fixtures that complement your home and coordinate with interior lighting design for continuity. As guests move from inside to outside, the transition should feel natural.
Well-planned outdoor lighting can transform decks, patios, and entertaining areas into extensions of your home. By considering layered lighting, weather resistance, placement and cohesiveness, you can create an outdoor space that welcomes guests and extends entertaining into the evening.
