1. Make the Most of the Natural Scenery
When planning your outdoor lighting, consider how you can use natural scenery to your advantage. Utilizing your environment will help you create a lighting design that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

2. Add a Perfect Touch to Your Trees
Placing lights in or around trees can create a dramatic effect that will take your garden’s ambiance to the next level. You can also use lights to accentuate the unique features of your garden with a lighting design that is both functional and inviting.
The right lighting can make your tree the centerpiece of the garden. Outdoor LED lights are a popular choice because they are affordable and easy to install.

4. Get Creative on Your Outdoor Setups
There are lots of ways to get creative when lighting your outdoor setups. Whether you have a pavilion or a lounge area, you can use LED lighting in many different ways to create a unique and stylish look.
Add lights to your tables, pergolas, and walls to create a whimsical ambiance. You can also use lanterns on your table to add a touch of elegance. A great example is how @the_retired_houswife used 240 LED outdoor solar lights to decorate her parasol umbrellas for those lively summer nights spent outdoors.
