With spring only a
few weeks away, now's the time to prepare your deck for endless days under the
sun. One of the best ways to do this is by choosing lighting fixtures that
create a welcoming atmosphere for you and your guests. If you're unsure which
outdoor lighting to use, let's go through the most popular ideas to help you
find the perfect one for your space.
Deck
Stair Lights
If you have a
multi-platform deck, stair lights could be a great choice if you need extra
visibility. The additional lighting is perfect for those late-night events,
ensuring everyone stays safe as they move around. These lights also give each
stair a subtle glow that offers the right amount of brightness.
Solar
Deck Lighting
Are you looking for
a more eco-friendly option? Solar lights offer a touch of sustainability to
your space without breaking the bank. They're also easy to move, giving you
much more flexibility on where to put them as long as they're charged. Remember
to place them in a sunny spot during the day so they'll be ready whenever you
need them!
In-Floor
Lighting
In-floor lighting
is worth considering if your outdoor space is divided into different sections.
For example, if your home's deck and pergola are on opposite sides, add some
LED lights to guide your guests between the two structures. In-floor lighting
is also great for highlighting other isolated areas in your yard.
Lantern
Another popular
option to light up a deck space is lanterns. They come in many designs, colors,
and styles, which makes finding ones that complement your outdoor space's
aesthetic much easier. Lanterns' portability also makes them a go-to choice
whenever you need backup lighting, especially if they're battery-operated or
use candles.
String
Deck Lighting
Lastly, hanging
string lights along your deck instantly create a warm, inviting look to your
outdoor space. Whether you hang them along your railings or the walls, this
lighting is perfect for those evening gatherings with friends and family. You
have tons of colors and bulbs available, so don't be afraid to play around with
different lighting to find a combination that works.
