Deco lighting for your terrace

Choosing the right outdoor lighting to enhance your terrace is essential. It's not just a question of lighting, but also of decoration and enhancement. Good terrace lighting creates a warm and friendly atmosphere, ideal for sharing moments with friends and family. Discover all our tips on decorative lighting to make your terrace look its very best. 

Patio lighting: useful, practical and attractive 

Having a terrace is a real blessing. It's a great way to enjoy fine weather and a comfortable outdoor living space. It also adds real value to your home. When well laid out, it adds cachet to your exterior. This includes furnishings, flooring and planting, as well as lighting, which serves several functions. 

Lighting the way 

When it comes to eating, reading or chatting with friends after dark, it's best to have quality lighting that's not blinding, but sufficient to allow you to move around properly. To achieve this, wall lamps are often used. Attached to the surrounding walls, they provide the luminosity needed to enjoy the terrace to the full. Wall lamps are a classic in outdoor lighting. Their special feature is a well-directed beam of light, to limit overly direct and dazzling lighting. 

Light for safe travel

Terrace lighting is also useful for defining the perimeter of the terrace. It allows you to move around properly and prevents falls. Very often, recessed spotlights, bollards or even pole spotlights are chosen to delimit the contours of the terrace or the various living areas. Discreet, spotlights are anchored in the ground and spread at equal distances around the contours of the terrace. They create sufficient light points to find your way around, and also add a neat, contemporary style. Buying an outdoor bollard is also a very good idea. Taller than a bollard, they provide more diffused lighting.

Decorative lighting 

Finally, patio lighting also has a decorative function. Fortunately, the range of lighting fixtures on offer today is increasingly original, and manufacturers are vying with each other to create ever more aesthetically pleasing models. All Lumihome lighting solutions are designed to enhance your outdoor space. That's why our bollards, spotlights and wall lights have a clean, timeless look that complements any home. 

Transform your terrace with decorative lighting

There are many ways to make your terrace a warm and inviting place. Here are a few decorative lighting ideas for your terrace that are sure to dazzle your guests. 

Suspenders for maximum privacy 

Hanging lamps have an elegant, sophisticated look that is sure to add charm to your terrace, transforming it into a veritable outdoor living space. They add a real touch of intimacy close to a relaxation area, or simply above a garden furniture table. They do, however, require a ceiling or structure to hang them from. 

Garland lights for a touch of whimsy

LED string lights are ideal for adding a decorative touch to your terrace. What's more, they're very practical because they can be attached anywhere. On a wall, on the ceiling of a pergola, around a tree trunk or its branches... String lights let your imagination run wild. Be careful, however, to use them sparingly so as not to turn your terrace into a Christmas attraction. Lumihome offers you a waterproof 7.5-meter-long string of lights to dress up your terrace and create a beautiful decor. 

Photophores for a romantic ambience

To decorate your terrace, you'll also find photophores to place on the table or on the ground. Originally powered by a candle, photophores are now more often than not fitted with an LED bulb inside, recalling the vibrant light of candles for a soft, fairy-tale atmosphere.   

Decorative objects to move and replace

To brighten up your terrace and add a touch of decoration, you'll also find self-lighting furniture and decorative objects such as luminous flowerpots and baubles. "The beauty of these objects is that you can move them to suit your mood, explains Christophe Coelho. This is the case, for example, with the Lumihome RGB crystal LED lamp or the luminous floor sphere. Both a lamp and a decorative object, this ball will enhance your terrace with subtlety and elegance."

The brazier for warming evenings 

The brazier is nothing other than an outdoor fireplace that can, of course, be used as a barbecue, a heater when the mercury drops in the evening, and a lighting fixture. Made of cast iron or steel, it will transform your terrace into a warm and friendly place. 

Solar energy to enhance your terrace

When the connections have not been planned in advance of terrace construction, solar power is the best solution for illuminating your terrace and adding a decorative touch. Solar lamps are the ideal way to enhance your terrace, in an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective way. "Whether you want to provide a spot of light, define the contours of your space or decorate it, you'll find the right solar solution, confirms Christophe Coelho. Lumihome offers a whole range of solar-powered lights that are as efficient as conventional 230V solutions." Discover the rechargeable solar LED nomad lamp. It can be used as a table lamp and offers up to 5 different lighting modes. Feel free to browse Lumihome's range of solar solutions, and succumb to their sophisticated design and finish.

Terrace lighting therefore has several functions, and although lighting is the main one, its decorative mission is just as important. Deco lighting for your terrace is an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, providing the necessary luminosity while enhancing this special space. So why deprive yourself?
