It’s getting warmer with every passing day, and with spring right around the corner, more and more people will be spending time outdoors. If you own a home with a patio, balcony, or deck, you may feel inclined to host some of your loved ones for a socially distanced soiree. But is your exterior lighting up to the task?
Check out these gorgeous lighting designs sure to brighten your day (and night)!
Safety Lighting
Exterior lights serve many purposes, but the most important is the added security they provide. Homes with motion-sense lights are less likely to be burglarized, and lighting the paths around your home can make it safer for visitors to enter and leave safely.

Hardscape lighting helps illuminate the planned features of your home, such as retaining walls, dividers, etc. Lighting the underside of this ledge not only shows off the architecture but casts indirect light around a gathering area.
Aesthetic Lighting
Lighting designed with function and beauty in mind--these designs help bring your home’s feel into your yard!
Bohemian Escape
This charming setup uses different lighting to achieve a vagabond feel--it looks thrown together with what was lying around, but in reality, this design was meticulously planned. You can achieve this look yourself with hanging paper lanterns, wicker light shades, string lights, and faux candles.
Path Lighting

Path lighting is essential for yards with curved or custom-designed walkways. In the example above, the design features staggered lighting--this gives off a more whimsical feel. Don’t put path lights directly across from one another--symmetrical lighting gives off the feel of an airport instead of a home.
