How To Use Patio String Lights
Lighting your garden is no longer just a matter of turning on the porch or patio light. There is a far, far wider range of products to choose from in the lighting category for outdoor spaces – ranging from luminaries to accent shrubbery lighting to outdoor string lights. In this article, we take a look at ways you can use string lights, in particular, to soften your garden and outdoor space.
Festivity
The beauty of string lights is two-fold. First, they are available in a variety of styles – from tiny little bulbs strung on an even tinier looking wire to large, round globes strung in a continuous flow. So you can achieve a lot of different looks with this one type of lighting. Second, there are a big enough number of lights strung on to the cords to entirely illuminate any wide expanse of space. This means that you can entirely create a warm, glowing ambiance to any outdoor space. People can use string lights when hosting parties in their backyard and, in certain climates where it does not rain too often they leave the string lights on permanently as the main source of lighting.
Lots of cover
Since string lights are designed to be hung and have regular intervals of predicable light output, you can pretty much know in advance how much you will need to fully light a specified area. If you are holding a get together, for instance, you can hang string lights above the dance floor, with the primary purpose of using those lights to softly illuminate the dance area. If your home has a large garden or lawn in front or back, a way to illuminate it softly and subtly but without it being too dark at the same time, is to strategically place string lighting in a way that does just that.
Under the stars
With string lights you can get creative, have fun and stand out in a crowd. By hanging these lights overhead in a way to make them appear uneven and natural, you can simulate a sky full of stars. This sort of use is ideal for a romantic yet elegant evening wedding reception area.
Only till a few years ago, lighting was mainly considered a functional aspect to a space. Now, so many different dimensions of lighting exist as layers in an entire design scheme component. By using one of these components, patio string lights, you can have fun, be unique and do it in style!
