Enhance outdoor space with lighting

With so many people staying at home, beautiful backyard spaces are more essential than ever. One of the best ways to take advantage of the great summer weather is to enjoy the beautiful outdoors in a lovely outdoor room.   A covered area is essential in San Antonio to create a comfortable outdoor living space.  Creating shade with a covered area can be big or small and can be connected to your home or a separate structure altogether.

Whether you choose a pergola, gazebo or pavilion area, it is important to light it up for enjoyable evenings in the backyard! You can take outdoor room lighting to an entirely new level by adding the right type of exterior lighting. As with lighting an indoor space, lighting an outdoor space can be easy, convenient, and affordable if you do it right.

There are lots of ways to enhance your outdoor room with unique lighting. For example, you can enhance an outdoor space by installing a unique conversation piece such as a chandelier. It’s not right for every outdoor room, but if you have tall or pitched ceilings, it could accent that feature.

Now it is time to determine what style of lighting YOU are looking for. There are so many types of lights for outdoor living.

• A chandelier makes a dramatic statement when it’s hanging from the midpoint inside your gazebo.
• A fan light can light up the area while keeping you comfortable.
• Pendant lighting is another option and comes in so many types and styles.
• Bistro lights add charm and fun. You can create a zig zag pattern across the inside of the room.
• LED strip lights are a good energy-saving solution that can be taped to the perimeter of the structure.
• Outdoor lanterns are another impressive lighting style.

Outdoor room lighting is more affordable and easier to install than ever before. While some homeowners choose to do this type of work on their own, your best bet is to seek the skill and knowledge of an experienced exterior lighting expert.
