Assess your Patio Space
Measure your space using a tape meaure to choose a fixture that fits proportionally with your patio. This will ensure dark spots and overly bright areas are avoided.
If your patio is split into sections, such as a lounge area and BBQ space, choose different task lights for each corner. Opt for fixtures that blend cohesively with the style of your home.
When installing your lights, ensure that any furniture or plants won’t conceal them. For more complex installations, consider the logistics of wiring and whether a professional will need to be involved.
Creative Patio Lighting Ideas and Trends
Once you have assessed the space, browse our patio lighting ideas below to get started on your upgrade.
When you’re installing light fixtures outside, consult a professional to ensure a safe and practical installation.
1. Illuminate your Canopy
If you have a canopy over your patio, why not add some strip lights?
These can be placed along the top edge of the canopy for a cascading glow or wired around the legs for a unique touch. Warm bulbs will create a relaxing environment, whilst coloured lights can add a playful element to your garden.
For this, we recommend waterproof lights, such as our IP65 Waterproof LED Strip Lights. With a high IP rating, these are safe and efficient for outdoor installation.
2. Add a Unique Lamp
Whether you’re enjoying a late-night coffee with a book outside or you’re hosting a dinner party, a table lamp can make a world of difference.
Not only does it serve as a centrepiece, but it enhances visibility for various tasks and makes the setting much more homey and pleasant. For an industrial feel, our Gotham Industrial Table Lamp is the perfect choice.
If a standing light is what you prefer, our 25W LED Modern Floor Lamp is ideal. This can be placed next to outdoor seating for a cosy feel. Its slim design is discreet, perfect for a smaller patio.
3. Eye-catching Pendant Light
If your patio is missing a focal point, why not add a decorative pendant light?
Hang this from a covered area in your garden, such as over a canopy, gazebo or home extension. For simple elegance, opt for our Danube E27 IP44 Double Glass Pendant Light.
If you prefer a grand display, our Gotham 6 Light Drop Industrial Pendant Lighting is bound to turn heads. This is ideal for those who love an industrial setting.
4. Simplistic Wall Lights
Wall lights are a key addition to an inviting patio space.
These can be placed directly above your patio furniture or garden wall decor, such as wall motifs, for accent lighting.
Our Hoosic Outdoor E27 Wall Lamp comes with a PIR sensor. This means that it only turns on when motion is detected, ideal for a modern home.
If a vintage approach is more of your style, our Black Caged Wall Light E27 will add a touch of character to your patio.
5. Enchanting Step Lights
If you have steps leading up to your patio, why not create an elegant walkway with step lights?
These are designed to sit flush with your stairs, creating an effortless look whilst enhancing visibility during the night.
Our LED 40 Light Patio Lighting Set looks beautiful when paired with wooden stairs. They can also be added to your patio floor or decking for a creative touch.
