The Art of Illumination: Outdoor Entertaining

While there’s more daylight to go around during Spring and Summer, lighting becomes an even important element in outdoor spaces. There are several approaches to artfully illuminate everything from expansive dining vignettes to intimate garden patios to easygoing lounge spaces, ensuring success for your outdoor entertaining endeavors this season. 

Start with a Warm Welcome

Creating a holistic outdoor space begins with setting the tone. We like to think of outdoor spaces as an extension of a home’s total design, designed to echo the character of your space inside-and-out. Outdoor wall sconces—like our LP Sconce—start your gathering off strong while establishing the overall look and feel of your space.

Illuminating the Way

For a smooth sailing gathering from the get-go, it’s important to properly illuminate your pathways outside. This ensures you and your guests can navigate easily and intuitively from place-to-place. Streamlined lighting—like our Box Bollard—implemented along the edge of outdoor avenues signal your space is intentionally designed while creating a welcoming atmosphere. 

Highlight Outdoor Details

Finally, on top of illuminating your outdoor lounge and dining area, it’s important to highlight the landscape that sets the stage. Incorporating outdoor lighting into your backyard, garden or patio will showcase its natural beauty and enliven any gathering. Consider Kaliko sconces. Kaliko presents a perfect statement of volumetric simplicity. Its design features two apertures that transform space with contrasting intensities of LED light emanating from the top and bottom of the fixture.  Kaliko's IP65 rating paired with the subtle ambient light it projects make it an ideal collection for outdoor locations.
