How to Choose the Right Outdoor Light
How to Choose the Right Outdoor Light
Choosing the right outdoor lighting is about more than just practicality — it’s about creating a beautiful atmosphere that enhances your garden, terrace, or balcony. The right lights provide function, atmosphere, and style, bringing your outdoor spaces to life long after sunset.
Function First: Lighting for Purpose
Start by thinking about the practical needs of your space. Pathway lights like the Les Jardins SKAALsolar-powered lamps are perfect for marking walkways and driveways, ensuring safety while adding a stylish touch. Larger statement pieces like the Vondom Wing Floor Lamps can illuminate outdoor zones such as pool areas or luxury pathways, blending function with striking sculptural form

Create Atmosphere: Soft, Layered Lighting
When it comes to atmosphere, layering different sources of light creates magic. A wonderful example is the Gloster Ambient Mesh range, which includes a matching hanging lamp, table lamp, and floor lamp — all designed to blend harmoniously together. Whether suspended above a dining space, positioned alongside a lounge area, or placed on a side table, these elegant woven lamps bring a warm and cohesive glow that transforms outdoor evenings. Their natural textures and soft light diffusion create a relaxed yet refined mood, ideal for effortless transitions from day to night.
Make a Statement: Sculptural Designs
Outdoor lighting is also an opportunity to make a design statement. Unique pieces like the Tribal Lanterns by Talenti bring a sculptural elegance to the garden. Available in three sizes and five colours, these rechargeable lanterns add personality and charm when positioned in the corners of patios or among planting.

Think Small for Tabletop Ambience
For intimate evenings, smaller rechargeable table lamps like theLittle Portable Lamps byDesign By Us or the Humble Two lamp bring atmospheric lighting to outdoor dining tables and coffee tables. Their soft, wireless glow enhances the mood without overpowering the setting, perfect for creating a cosy, inviting ambience.
Highlight the Architecture
Don’t forget about your walls! Modern outdoor wall lamps such as the Nordlux Hayley Wall Lights are ideal for framing doorways, terraces, and patios. Their clean lines and soft illumination blend beautifully with contemporary architecture, highlighting textures and materials without being intrusive.
Explore Unique and Hybrid Options
If you want something truly special, explore hybrid designs like theGloster Sol Lamp, which doubles as both a floor lamp and a sculptural parasol. Rechargeable and innovative, it offers soft lighting while providing stylish shade during the day — a perfect blend of function and aesthetics.
