We all start dreaming of spending more time in the garden now that the days are getting longer and the weather is getting warmer. Every year I have visions of alfresco dinners or just evenings sitting outside once the kids have gone to bed. Unfortunately English summers are not like Spanish ones and those days are a bit sparse, still it’s great making the most of the weather.
I love how lovely gardens look lit up in the early evening. I have a lot of solar lights spread all over my garden but I find some of them stop working after a couple of years, especially if they are not of great quality, so I am always on the look out for new ideas.
Here is some garden lighting inspiration, all different styles and the best thing is they are all under £30.
1/ Solar Small Colour Changing Sphere £28
2/ Hanging Lantern £15
3/ Solar LED Fairy Jar Lights £7
4/ Wire Pillar Candle Lantern £18
5/ Solar Glass Light Colour Changing £19.99
6/Lantern Outdoor Multicoloured Solar Lights £15
1/ Solar Small Colour Changing Sphere £28 How cool are these? They come in two sizes, small and large and they change into four different colours. These would look perfect scattered around the grass or maybe on a patio.
2/ Hanging Lantern £15 A mixture of metal and glass and as they are not too big they could be displayed on top of a garden table. There is an option to hang them on mini metal crooks and stake them on the garden. They have a very contemporary style and very on trend.
3/ Solar LED Fairy Jar Lights £7 This is a really cheap and effective way of decorating the garden. These could be hang of tree branches for an atmospheric look.
4/ Wire Pillar Candle Lantern £18 Also available in coral and in a mini size. I’d love to buy a few of these and mix and match all over the garden.
5/ Solar Glass Light Colour Changing £19.99 If you have gravel in your garden these texture glass lights might be ideal. The come in a pack of four and they are colour changing.
6/Lantern Outdoor Multicoloured Solar Lights £15 I have lights in this style hanging over the garden trellis and they look beautiful, especially when is pitch black. I leave mine out all year and they now have a bit of a “weather”look, but in my opinion that makes them look even better.
What do you think of all these options? Which one is your favourite?
