How To Create a Perfect Outdoor Lighting For Your Backyard Space – 4 Tips

Whether you are grilling poolside or hosting an outdoor soiree, relaxing and unwinding after work, or looking to swim a few laps, outdoor lighting is a major contributor to the atmosphere of your outdoor environment.

Even late in the summer, the heat provides the perfect setting to linger outside with a cool beverage. Here are Imagine Backyard Living’s key takeaways when it comes to perfecting your outdoor lighting game.

Light Responsibly

It’s a great thing to spend time without too much artificial light. In fact, it’s one of the most relaxing things about letting the day go – slowly sinking into darkness through the magic hour in your very own exceptional outdoor space. When it comes to your backyard, don’t overdo lighting to ensure that you can fully participate in the natural rhythms of the seasons.

Energy Efficient

If possible, consider installing wall switches or portable controls on automated timers or sensors to drive the most in security, convenience, and energy savings.

Soft and Subtle

For key areas, illumination is important but for other areas, a soft and subtle lighting look can enhance landscaping, show off your property, and induce a deep sense of relaxation. Instead of going overboard, talk to our professional team about how to play up your property’s sense of aesthetic for all hours of the day and night.

Directed

Several areas of your backyard space: the outdoor kitchen or grill area, pathways, steps, and serving stations require a bit more attention when it comes to lighting. These areas need task-specific and focused light to provide safety and visibility.
