With years of experience in lighting design, our owner Christina Nicolaides has created unique lighting schemes for a number of exterior and garden spaces. These naturally need to be treated differently from interior areas, and any lighting scheme needs to be custom-designed as every garden is special in its own way. Here she shares some advice on creating the best lighting design for an outdoor space:
The garden is an extension of the home; it is somewhere you can go to relax, dine or entertain. Lighting will bring the garden to life even when the sun has gone down, and will make the space warm and inviting rather than dark and gloomy.
A simple uplight to a tree provides bespoke illuminations, while lighting a sculpture or a stone feature in the garden creates a dramatic effect.
If you have a façade, lighting this can enhance the architectural form.
For a garden space you will still need functional lighting to allow you to move around safely and use the space, but you can perfectly align function with an impressive effect. Simple spike lighting will add drama.
