A terrace garden area can have just the same amount of zeal as any other interior space for your home with good lighting. You can spend your most memorable moments under an open terrace garden with stars, lights, and good friends to give you company. You can easily set up the very best garden spaces places with these terrace garden lighting ideas:-
Mild sculpture terrace lighting
For the terrace settings that you want to keep alight, but you do not want very harsh light, use mild lighting fissures like bulbs, tube lights, or other small lights. It can be installed to alight sculptures or your walls and create a mystic look. Buy small electronic candlelight that has a very soft glow. Place it underneath any sculpture, or only on your walls that you would love to highlight. As you turn it on a night out at your terrace, your audience will be mystified by the soft glowing sculptures.
Wall light sconces for mystifying patterns
Installing candle lights on your walls to create a simple look can be time-consuming if your electronic candle does not have an excellent mounting surface to stick to the wall. In this case, you can buy unique wall light sconces that are mainly made to enhance the beauty of your walls. You can set them up to create beautiful light patterns that provide a sense of serenity after a long day of wear and tear.
Lantern string wall lights
While we are still on the topic of lighting walls, you could start with string lights in cool shapes like lanterns, bells, or any such pattern of your liking. Build a wall of lights with horizontally or vertically running string lights. This easy terrace garden lighting idea looks especially rustic if you pair the lights with a brick wall. Also, choose individual lights of the same shape as your string lights, and keep them regularly near your beloved garden plants. For example, you could choose big lantern lights or globe lights to complete the ambiance of the look.
Inbuilt wall lights
You will be amazed by the aura that beautiful in-built lights in your walls can create for your terrace area. If you have a space with fairly tall plants on your terrace, tastefully arrange them near to in-built soft lights in your walls. These are, no doubt, the best lights for your terrace garden. The light that filters through the leaves of your terrace plants will set up your very own ‘komorebi’ effect. By the way, komorebi is a Japanese word that refers to the sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees.
Built-in furniture lights
To spend the loveliest time on your terrace, you will need to invest in a few right furniture pieces to enhance the leisure of your garden space. Hence, you can comfortably lounge and relish in the feel of your terrace garden space. So, when you buy some furniture pieces, why not buy the ones with built-in lights? These will add a very soft and warm glow to those chilly nights spent out and make your experience the most amazing!
Centre table lighting
There is no limit to the lighting furniture that you can get for your terrace garden. From lighted table legs to colorful streaming lights, choose a terrace table that you would love to consider as an asset. A table with inbuilt soft lights or white, blue lights of your choice can set an almost eerie glow to your alone nights spent under the stars. And, if you choose it for a casual dinner with best friends, everyone will cluster over to enjoy the ambient lighting, and the fun will surely last a bit longer!
Floorboard lights
Why not set up a terrace garden with stars above and stars below? While you can not bring the literal stars to the floor, you can go with some artificial floor lighting. You can opt for LED lights running along the edges of the floor or artificial lights set up in the floorboard itself. You sure must not have seen such an enigmatic setup with the world lighting up from below. Choose soft yellow lights, white LED lights, eerie blue lights, or get a splash of color with colorful floor lights turning up the oomph factor of your terrace garden.
Flower bed lights
You can not truly set up a terrace garden area until you light up the garden itself, right? To enhance the beauty of your rooftop garden, start with lights set up in the flower beds itself as a plant lighting idea in terrace gardens. You can even use this idea if you have soil beds set just for green plants. Use string lights or get a light installed into the edge of your flower beds professionally. The resulting look will tempt you to spend a bit more time in the open air!
Island lights
If you have quite a spacious terrace and have an island built on your roof space for outdoor dining, use the island to build up an envy-inducing light space on your terrace garden. Set up your favorite pots along the length of your terrace island dining space. You can even put a few small potted plants on the island itself. Use string lights, lanterns, electronic candle lights, or get professional lights installed along the lengths and widths of the island. This will undoubtedly be the focal point the next time you host an evening rooftop party!
Fireplace lighting
Nothing can beat the natural glow of a real fire. To truly feel the vibe of the outdoor dining space on your terrace garden, free some space as for a typical flower bed and set it up for a fireplace! You can get it professionally made with necessary precautions for building a fire. You will not want to have any plants too near to the fireplace, but you can set them around the edges of your terrace garden. Put coal into the flowerbed and light it. Enjoy your terrace garden while you roast some marshmallows on your fireplace!
Remember to be on your high alert all the time when you light up your rooftop fireplace, especially if there are plants nearby.
Balloon lantern lights
For the more fun stuff with plant lighting ideas in terrace gardens, you can use balloon lantern lights for your branched plants. Choose colorful lanterns of your wish or stick with a particular color of your choice. Hang them from high branches or even a tree if there is any near your terrace space. This will add some much-needed fun to your outdoor chill space and is one of the budget-friendly terrace garden lighting ideas.
String lights canopy
No terrace garden lighting list could ever be complete without a light canopy. And luckily, this is an easy terrace garden lighting idea. Get four sturdy and reliable wooden poles. Fix them securely into the earth of your garden space. Now take a strong metal wire that can withstand the weight of the string lights. From a considerable height from the floor where you would like to set your canopy, run the metal wire once or twice along both the length and width of the wooden pools. Arrange your string lights lengthwise and breadthwise on these wires and build a light string canopy for your most romantic terrace garden dinner date.
