On warm summer days, conversations on the terrace last longer and everyone wants to stay outside. Do you dream of turning the garden into a relaxing idyll? Good lighting makes that atmosphere even more enjoyable and can become a beautiful focal point. There are many possibilities for garden lighting, but traditional garden lanterns bring a particularly warm mood. Let your outdoor space glow with these 19 ideas.
Garden lighting ideas without electricity – atmospheric lanterns
Garden lanterns are clever lighting ideas that combine the element of fire with classic aesthetics, bringing flickering light into a modern garden design. They save power, too. Lanterns bathe the garden in warm light. While traditional models were often made of metal with a handle and glass panes, today’s lanterns come in a wide variety of styles, materials and finishes.
Atmospheric and romantic garden lighting with lanterns
Lighting is important in the garden. It improves safety by illuminating stairs, paths and dark corners, and it also lets the garden look beautiful after sunset.
Floating lanterns
With garden lighting at ground level and lanterns placed throughout the space, you can create a lovingly composed atmosphere. Dark corners can be brightened with elegant lanterns or hanging lights. Oil lamps, candle lanterns and garden torches are also easy alternatives for outdoor areas.
Opulent fiery accents
With candle lanterns, you can choose between real candles and battery-powered versions. Their big advantage is flexibility: they can be moved easily wherever light is needed. Place any lantern with a real flame on a solid, stable surface so it cannot tip over. Wind-protected torches and enclosed lanterns can be arranged in garden corners, creating a beautiful setting as a summer evening slowly winds down.
