Don’t Miss Out on These 2021 Lighting Trends

As summer quickly approaches and pandemic restrictions wind down, it’s time to start thinking about your outdoor entertainment areas. Spending summer evenings outdoors with friends is one of the most relaxing ways to utilize your outdoor spaces, but it’s hard to want to spend time outside if your lighting is outdated, jarring, or just plain ugly. As you assess your yard spaces and what you might like to do with them, keep these fun and functional lighting trends in mind.

In-Ground Lights

Lights embedded in your yard or garden pathways make the area very atmospheric. The light from below makes plants glow and doesn’t cast harsh shadows. These lights also help make your yard safe for everyone. The light allows you to clearly see the path, but because the lights are embedded, you don’t have to worry about tripping hazards.

Twinkle Lights

Twinkle lights will truly never go out of fashion. These classic lights give outdoor areas a sense of coziness and comfort that is fantastic for nights spent talking and laughing with friends. It is important to ensure that your string lights are for outdoor use and that you have an outlet that can accommodate them.

Smart Lights

One of the biggest trends in home lighting right now is the implementation of smart lighting features. For outdoor lighting, smart lights can help to add security to your home or yard. Plus, many smart lights and smart bulbs come with customizable color washes, meaning you can change the mood of your yard right from your phone or tablet.
