Our top outdoor furniture lighting tips

Our team have compiled our favourite outdoor furniture lighting tips so that you can pair them with our garden tables and comfortably stay on your patio long after the sun sets.

During the summer we want to make the most of our outdoor furniture. Use it as much as we can and as often as we can. And one of the best ways to do this is to extend its use into the evening when the sun goes down.

The big problem here is that even in the peak summer months, the temperature will often still dip in the UK and, once the sun drops, there’s usually not enough light to continue using our furniture.

Fortunately, there’s a whole host of solutions to keep your patio area warm from gas heaters and fire pits to wrapping up in a nice outdoor blanket but they're for another article.

Lighting on the other hand can be a little more tricky to get right though... You want something that illuminates the space enough to keep it safe to use but subtle enough that it doesn’t ruin the relaxing ambience. As a general rule, we often find that less is more when it comes to garden lighting but keep it flexible.

You want the lighting to be subtle for relaxation but have the option to go brighter if you need task light to say cook a BBQ.
