Light up your outdoor nightlife
When the stars come out, you don't have to head
indoors. With the right lighting, your backyard can become
the perfect spot to entertain long after the sun goes down.
Take the same approach to lighting your exterior as you
would your interior. Combine several types - ambient,
accent, task and decorative - to set an intimate or dramatic

snood. lighting should serve both
functional and aesthetic purposes
ensuring safety and beautifying your
landscape.
Below are some tips from 'lhe Holm
Depot on how to create an enchanted
outdoor space:
Spotlight please: By illuminating
objects from below, such as a tree or
fountain, you can create dramatic
focal points. The effect you achieve
depends on the angle of the light. For
instance, if you want to emphasize the
texture of a tree trunk, install lights
near its base. If you want to illuminate
the leaves, place lighting further away.
To maximize visual impact, choose
only one or two focal points.
Keep it gentle: Similar to ambient
light indoors, area light is general
floodlighting that washes larger
spaces in a soft glow. Ilse it to gently
illuminate sections of lawn, hedges,
patios or conversation corners.
That's entertainment: Solar lights
that look like patio lanterns or are
encased within stepping stones, are
creative and decorative ways to light
your yard for outdoor entertaining.
Consider adding lights to a patio
umbrella or string fairy lights along
the sides and top of your gazebo to
simulate a starry night.
Time it: Low -voltage and energy-
efficient lights like LEDs on a timer
are a great way to illuminate your yard
at night and keep costs in check.
