Knowing how to add outdoor lighting to your home can be tricky. Do you opt for lashings of garden fairy lights? Are patio lamp posts a good idea? The questions go on and on, but we're here to answer them all in one helpful swoop. 

We've thought of some truly spectacular ways to add a little illumination to your outside spaces and, if any take your fancy, the most you'll have to do is call an electrician to come and complete the job for you. 

It really is that simple but the impact will be anything but!

1. Light the edges of your garden

For a modern, impactful look. Pretty fencing is a must though!

These add some real design gravitas and can be mounted or hung anywhere.
