Candle Lighting Ideas for Home and Garden

Many of us like to enjoy our gardens at night, as well as in the day time. Getting the lighting right in your garden means the difference between only enjoying your garden when it’s light outside and being able to love your outdoor space 24/7. Similarly, indoor lighting can make or break the look of your home, and expertly designed indoor lighting is often the final finishing touch on a beautifully styled home.

Lighting Your Garden

Expertly designed outdoor lighting, such as can be found at Scotlight Direct LED, isn't just about illumination; it’s about creating visual effects using both light and dark elements. Lighting can give your garden whole new dimensions, creating a stylish look which incorporates both luxury and comfort.

Whilst lighting can often entail a significant investment, the benefits of good lighting are manifold. As well as making your garden or outside space look stunning, it also provides your home with an additional layer of security at night, particularly if you install motion sensors.

Use outdoor lighting to:

Illuminate trees – Candle light at the bases of trees can create a stunning effect, especially if you use different colours.

Showcase features – placing strategic led light behind water features and near to beautiful plants will make the most of your garden design.

Provide safety – use candle lighting to illuminate swimming pools or combine them with motion sensors in darkened areas.

Lighting Ideas for Your Home

Lighting can be used in many different ways, from the purely practical to the entirely aesthetic. Good lighting can make a room look bigger, brighter, cozier or more attractive, whereas bad lighting can make a room look smaller or ugly. Utilize good lighting in your home to make the most of its stunning features, pieces of art, or to create comfortable areas for relaxing.

There are plenty of simple tricks and tips for making the most of your home lighting, so follow these simple rules and make your home more beautiful with strategic indoor lighting design.

Wall washers are great for large, light colour ceilings.

Uplighters will bounce light onto the ceilings and walls of your home.

Panels of light will draw in your eye, making a room appear longer.

Pendant lights will make your room appear taller. Table lamps and low lighting will make your room appear cozier and smaller – great for creating a particular mood.
