Set the Scene for Summer Nights

It’s that time of year again – time to restore your outdoor space to its summertime beauty! You work hard to revive your yard and want your guests to enjoy themselves but once it starts to get dark, everyone makes their way inside. Don’t let the setting sun determine when your backyard bash must end by overlooking the importance of lighting! Keep the party outside by adding some creative lighting to your patio and yard with landscape, stringer and rope lighting.
 
Deck & Patio​

• Add a whimsical look to your covered patio by draping LED string lights from ceiling beams or wrapping rope lights around columns.
• Make your stairways more visible by adding step lights. They are not only decorative but add a level of safety for your guests.
• Brighten up your deck with a warm glow by placing rope lighting under your deck railing.

​Backyard & Garden Area

• Illuminate walkways with path lighting. This will make your guests feel more welcome when approaching your home.
• Highlight points of interest in your yard with bullet style floodlights or uplight fixtures. Make flagpoles, statues or fun lawn décor a focal point even when it’s dark out!
• Use rope lighting to outline your garden along the brickwork for a cool effect.

​Around the House

• Install wall sconces or lanterns to brighten up the exterior of your home. This will also add an extra level of security lighting!
• Update your post lights to a more modern style to enhance your overall outdoor design.
• Drape rope or string lights along your fence line for a quick and easy boost.

​Simple Solutions

• Simply replace your existing outdoor bulbs with Edison vintage-style bulbs. These bulbs add a cozy and relaxing element to any setting.
• Add some extra flair by using colored bulbs to coordinate with themes or holidays.
• Want to create a space to relax but don’t have a patio or deck? Anchor poles into outdoor vases with sand or cement and drape LED string lights from post to post.
