Backyard Lighting Ideas

Lighting is the difference between a backyard you look at from the kitchen window and one you walk out into after dinner. These yards layer it: a warm glow under the shade structure, string lights over the table, uplights in the trees and low path lights between them.

About this collection

Backyard Lighting Ideas, explained.

Lighting is the difference between a backyard you look at from the kitchen window and one you walk out into after dinner. These yards layer it: a warm glow under the shade structure, string lights over the table, uplights in the trees and low path lights between them.

Keep the colour temperature consistent and the fixtures hidden — you should see light, not lamps. Save the scenes whose mood matches the evenings you want, then plan the wiring before the patio goes in.
