You should select your outdoor lighting after all the other decoration tasks are completed and the outdoor space is fully furnished.
After the tasks are completed, you will have a better idea of the types of lights you need and where to place them.
The decorative lights are perfect for the outdoor space and you will have plenty of styles and designs to choose from.
The well lights are functional and beautiful - they are placed on the ground or under it so that they cannot be seen, but provide lighting you need to highlight trees or statues in your garden.
The path lights might also be a good idea if you have a large yard, but they do not work for smaller ones.
If you have a pond, do not miss to add special underwater pond lights to it - the landscape will become whimsical as if it has come out of a fairy tale.
In order to determine your final choice of outdoor lighting pieces you have to decide on where they should be placed.
It is best to light only the corners that will be used during the dark hours - the sitting spaces such as tables and chairs, benches and chaise lounge areas.
You can have wall mounted lights if these are close to the house, but the patio umbrella lights are also a good idea.
You can also have special tall light posts near these.
If you want some of the decorations in your yard to be lighted then you can use the well lights.
The style of the outdoor lighting should be as natural as possible to complement the design of the whole space.
Go for models with gentler yet organic designs in warm earthly colors such as brown and green.
The rustic lights in the form of lanterns with mock wooden frames are ideal for every yard.
