8 Outdoor Floor Lamps to Create Ambience

As we wave winter goodbye and turn our attention towards a fresh new season, there’s a flurry of activity happening in the design world. With some exciting trends coming into play, fresh coats of paint, furniture upgrades and hip accessories are hot on the lists. But the most talked about transformations of all involve our gardens. And whether you intend to spend your days pottering around in your greenhouse or soaking up the sun, creating a summer wonderland is a top priority.

Aside from an array of greenery, checklists include beautiful sofas, plush rugs, ottomans, coffee tables and dining sets. Everything we need to make alfresco living a blast. But there’s one key component that, more often than not, seems to be left in the dark: outdoor lighting. So to set things right, we bring you our guide to 8 extraordinary exterior floor lamps that will illuminate your world.

Choosing outdoor floor lamps for your garden

There is, of course, a vast range of garden lighting options available. And spotlights, string lights, wall lights and ceiling lights all add allure. But in our expert opinion floor lamps are the most versatile of them all. Not only are they easy to move around, but they can be positioned with precision and intent in order to build mood and give character to you designated spaces.

While on the prowl for an electrical installation, make sure that whatever you buy is functional, has a waterproof construct and a cord that is 100% insulated. But if all of that seems to be overcomplicated, then opt for a solar lamp instead. Most of them last a full evening and are naturally recharged as soon as a bright new day begins.

Aside from that, it’s all about the appeal. So whether you lean towards vintage, ultra-modern, industrial, rustic or just incredibly chic, find something timeless that will seamlessly suit your décor.
