As we set off into Spring the gardens around us are just bursting with new life and its a real pleasure to look out the window. The trend of large expanses of glass around our homes allows us to connect with the outside world, but what happens when the sun sets and the garden disappears?
Outdoor lighting provides the key to expanding your living and enjoying these spaces even after dark. Create a beautiful, natural piece of artwork that will allow you to entertain or relax in whilst also offering safety and security. It doesn't take much to enhance your garden, a mixture of low lighting and uplighting balanced out within the area provides a wonderful ambience that sets the mood.
Be Creative!
Inground lights like our 2W or 3W Keo's look fabulous in decking, pathways and against walls like the picture above. Up lit trees always look amazing showcasing the texture of trunks and foilage, whilst path lights create an ambient glow that is unobtrusive and provides safety. Don't think that path lighting just has to be in the form of bollards, our KEO Horizons deliver a creative alternative to highlighting driveways, paths and stepping stones.
What about colour?
Our gardens are naturally filled with colour and texture so 90% of the time we solely design with warm white LED fittings. Occasionally when clients are looking for a bit of extra character incorporating colour can bring in an exciting twist and vibrancy. Colour doesn't need to be in your face, with our easy to use remote control units fittings can be adjusted to allow for control of brightness as well as colour changing sequences.
Areas where colour can be very effective include:
- behind laser cut screens
- water features
- decking - single colour rather than colour changing
- outdoor bars
