Best Decorative Lighting Solutions for Spring and Summer Evenings

Spring and summer are the favourite seasons for many of us for a number of reasons. Including lighting. Not only do we get longer daylight hours but it’s also the perfect time of the year for ambient lighting, in your garden, conservatory, or your lounge space.

Now with the sunsets getting later and later, there’s no better time to look at how you can light up your home and your garden for the spring and summer evenings.

Lighting Your Home During Spring and Summer

Whether you’re lighting your indoor space or your outdoor space, a well-lit environment can really help to create an inviting environment that has the right mood. And as summer is the time for many of us to go on holidays, there’s nothing better than coming back home to rest and relax. But to do that, you need the best decorative lighting for spring and summer.

Ground Lights for Evenings

Adding ground lights to your outdoor landscaping or to your indoor spaces can be the perfect touch for a summer evening.

The Seattle Outdoor Post is perfect for lighting up your paths, driveways, or showcase specific garden areas, such as a water feature. Combining a perfected blend of modern and traditional, this lamp is stylish with clear frosted panels to give a nice subtle glow.

Similarly, the Outdoor Spike with its LED lamps is great illuminating targeted areas during those summer evenings. These lamps create the perfect outdoor atmosphere for being with family and friends – whether it’s a dreamy glow for enjoying drinks or more targeted light for when you’re hosting a gathering.

Using Dimmers

Having lights that are dimmable is very suitable for spring and summer evenings as it allows you to adjust the brightness of the light in the room. So in summer, the dimmers can be used to control the level of light intensity and ambience. Not to mention that dimming your lights saves electricity.

Low brightness is most ideal if you want to create a cosy or intimate atmosphere so dimmers are a great solution if you want mood lighting.

Choice of Light Shades

Using lighter colours for your lamp shades can have quite the difference on the appearance of your spaces, especially considering how many homes are littered with different kinds of lamps. The benefit of having a light shade is that not only does it help decrease the intensity of lighting but it also removes that unwanted glare that overhead lights tend to have.

Light fabric shades work best throughout spring and summer – just think about how you want to use the light and how you want the space to look.

Rattan shades are great for practically any contemporary room but especially bedrooms or living areas and drum shade diffusers help to diffuse the light which creates a cooler tone and softer light.

Standing Lamps

Standing lamps for dark corners! Because nothing says relaxing like being able to see every inch of your lounge area. Wall lights or free standing floor lamps are great at providing light that illuminates the entire space without being too intense.

And if you get dimmable floor or wall lamps, you can adjust their brightness so that they create a warmer glow for a comfortable evening setting.
