Patio Lighting Ideas

A patio you can use at night is worth twice as much as one you can't. These patios show lighting done with restraint: a canopy of string lights, warm downlights under a cover, lanterns and the flicker of a fire table.

About this collection

Patio Lighting Ideas, explained.

A patio you can use at night is worth twice as much as one you can't. These patios show lighting done with restraint: a canopy of string lights, warm downlights under a cover, lanterns and the flicker of a fire table.

Layer it — one overhead source, one at table height, one low along the edges — and keep every bulb the same warm colour. Save the scenes whose mood you want, and run the conduit before the paving goes down.
