Fairytale gardens: 12 ideas for creating an enchanting atmosphere with lights
If we think of sprucing up the garden, making use of plants immediately springs to mind. And plants are certainly a fundamental component for a beautiful garden. But of equal importance are the lights that illuminate our gardens on balmy summer nights spent outside.
Lights can transform any space - even the most boring - into a fairy wonderland!
Although it is always best not to overdo it, placing spotlights pointed upwards here and there in the garden makes it look more spectacular - especially if the light touches the trunk and branches of the trees.
Among the cheapest lighting solutions that give great results, are strings of lights: beautiful to use as a "curtain" that hangs down from the branch of a tree, for example.
But also as alternatives for curtains covering the pergola!
By placing strands of lights on low, compact hedges, you will create a magical atmosphere.
But they also look great when filling in height, perhaps combined with lampposts or other hanging, romantic solutions (like laterns, for example).
Checking online, you can find thousands of types of strings of lights: sometimes they are large light bulbs, sometimes small oriental-style lanterns, and more. There is something for every taste.
Using proven, outdoor-specific lighting products, along with batteries or solar power, you can create fantastic settings for all your evenings outdoors.
Then there are some very cute ideas, like bee-shaped strings of lights.
Or lights suitable for blending in among tall grasses or small shrubs - perhaps even at the edge of a meadow. And getting solar-powered ones will save you on electricity bills!
Old watering pouring out light: this can be a DIY project or can be bought ready-made.
What if large pots or flowerbeds with low vegetation were decorated with magical mushrooms to create a fairytale atmosphere?
Or many small "fireworks", like dandelion flowers but made of light: they are beautiful solo, in groups in the flower beds or even surrounding stairways and paths.
