Outdoor lights to illuminate the balcony
Wall lights, pendant lights or balcony lamps are among the most common and practical outdoor lighting fixtures for enjoying a pleasant lighting atmosphere outdoors.
The most popular outdoor lighting on the balcony are wall lights and spotlights. Their advantage? These compact luminaires guarantee functional lighting, without being noticed.
Chandeliers and pendant lights are entirely possible on the balcony! And as in the bedroom or living room, they help to give style to the decor. These lights have another advantage: producing lighting directed downwards, they create an intimate atmosphere on the balcony. With their warm look, bamboo models remain safe values.
Portable portable lamps or table lamps that can be recharged using a USB port are becoming more and more widespread. But these portable lights are not necessarily to everyone’s taste. If you prefer a fixed solution, choose solar models.
Do you have a small balcony overlooked by another balcony? In this case, choose lighting directed upwards. This tip helps to enlarge the space. Think about LED strips: an original solution for lighting the balcony.
LED strips are one of the most modular solutions for working on balcony lighting. What if you used them to enhance your plant decor?
Garlands and decorations: lighting to spruce up the balcony
It’s not always easy to give character to the balcony! Are you lacking inspiration? Focus on creative lighting.
The garland is a common solution for lighting the balcony. And the most essential is of course the guinguette garland. The simple and effective option is to run it along the railing.
The ladder illuminated with a garland is stunning in a small bedroom. It’s just as great for lighting a small balcony!
The alternative to lighting a small balcony is to skillfully exploit the wall surface. One of the tips is to combine LED lighting and plants.
Install a small sofa or a wooden deckchair on the balcony? That’s a good idea! As long as you can shelter from the sun if necessary! Whether you opt for the shade sail or the iconic fringed parasol, you have a support for installing an LED garland: very discreet during the day, it creates a relaxing lighting atmosphere in the evening.
Not great, opposite, when you want to enjoy an intimate evening on the balcony. The privacy screen is essential! And you just need to customize it using a garland to have practical and decorative balcony lighting. If you have a taste for DIY, you can even make your custom model using a palette.
The light curtain is an essential decorative accessory in the bohemian interior and in the Aesthetic bedroom. What if we also adopted it to light the balcony?
Don’t want to embark on a shopping trip to light the balcony? Take a look at your Christmas decorations. If you have a light garland (or several!), this is a nice way to light up the balcony.
In the category of decorations that enhance the balcony, we love the stars, which bring a dreamlike touch to the decor.
More trendy than ever, Japanese lanterns bring softness and lightness to the balcony decor during the day. And they produce pleasant lighting during the evening!
The colors we no longer want to see on the balcony in 2024? Halftone shades! This season, we’re falling for dynamic colors. To adopt the trend, opt for colorful lanterns.
Light the fire to light the balcony?
Candles create an intimate and friendly atmosphere. What if we used it to light the balcony?
There’s no way the balcony lighting will go out at the slightest breeze… or start a fire! The solution is of course to choose LED candles, which now produce a light very close to that of an authentic candle.
Candles are lovely, but they produce dim lighting. The solution is therefore to focus on accumulation.
The brazier should of course be avoided on the balcony for obvious safety reasons. If you love flames, opt for an oil lamp (also handle with care, of course!).
