The beautiful days are coming again. It’s time to completely rethink the arrangement of your garden, terrace or balcony. To be able to transform outdoor spaces into a real extra room and thus enjoy dinners that last until the night, it is better to be equipped! Here are 20 outdoor lighting to help you see clearly while maintaining a warm ambiance.
How to light an outdoor table?
While it’s essential to choose your interior lighting carefully, you can sometimes overlook exterior lighting. For good reason, the return of the sun and the lengthening days make us forget the darkness. However, it is an essential element. Outdoor lighting is nothing more than the promise of balmy summer evenings. So it’s not a mistake. Whether to light a terrace, a small balcony or even a garden surrounded by nature, finding the rare pearl requires some adjustments. So, to light an outdoor table, we look at nomadic models or portable lanterns. The advantage of these is that they can be put in after the evening is over to keep them longer. But, if you still want to play it classic, and if the facilities allow it, you can also bet on garland installation or on suspensions.
On the technical side, we prefer materials such as plastic or metal to ensure that wind, salt or rain do not damage them. We also choose LED bulbs, a solar lamp or rechargeable street lamps to reduce our consumption and make life easier by excluding the connection step. Finally, if you dream of bringing a little retro touch to your outdoor environment, you can also get your hands on a designer outdoor oil lamp. It all depends on the style of decoration you want to adopt.

What light should you choose over a table?
To improve your garden table, there is no shortage of ideas. Many decorative brands offer outdoor ranges, even for lighting. Among our darlings, we will note the lamps Fermob, Kartell and even the Gubi models. For more affordable versions, we turn to major brands such as Søstrene Grene, IKEA or Zara Home, which reinvent the lantern in a modern, poetic or graphic version.
The only rule to follow for successful outdoor lighting: learn to have fun with pieces that reflect your image. Because, if we attach importance to the way we think about our insides, there is no reason not to do the same on the outside. Mediterranean, color block, vintage or exotic vibe. The variety of models present in the store will give you the opportunity to create a little haven of peace to enjoy the sunny days as you should. In 2024, the trend is still towards a slow life, natural materials and organic lines, but we also discover original and super colorful graphics. A mix and match that will set the tone. discovery
