Making Your Garden Glow

Over the past ten years, the demand for lighting in our gardens has increased. Maybe it’s because we are working longer hours and returning home later. But when the day is over, what better way to unwind than sitting in your outdoor space breathing in the sweet smell of a summer evening with lighting to suit your every mood. Whether it’s a romantic atmosphere or a vibrant party mode, there are plenty of lighting ideas for you to choose from.

Create a stunning burst of light outdoors with Think Gadget's Starburst Hanging Lantern. Designed with micro LED lights that sparkle on fine copper wire, they give a dazzling effect, especially when displayed in clusters – ideal for a showstopping look if you're planning on entertaining this summer.

The Foscarini Solar Outdoor Light is another unique design featuring a luminous hemispherical body. Capable of standing both upright – ideal to place your drink on, or at an angle of up to 15 degrees depending on the amount of light being diffused.

If it’s a more natural look you’re looking for, then Tom Dixon’s stone candle set offers a captivating assortment of tactile marble containers, housing wax candles scented with an evocative fragrant blend of fig, bergamot and sandalwood.

Take a look at the stunning design by Marc Sadler for Foscarini, the Twiggy Grid Outdoor Light which is impressive and tough, but elegant and warming too. The outdoor floor lamp is characterised by a striking woven composite lampshade on a durable coated metal and aluminium metal frame, suitable for all weather conditions. So, go with the glow and enjoy your summer evenings.
