Lighting is essential for making outdoor entertaining areas inviting after dark. It sets the mood while helping guests move around safely.

Ambient lighting such as festoon lights, lanterns, or wall-mounted sconces can create a warm atmosphere without overpowering the space.

Add task lighting where needed, especially in cooking or bar areas. Downlights under pergolas or mounted over workspaces can provide good visibility without being harsh.

Use dimmers or adjustable lights so the lighting level can change as the evening progresses. This adds flexibility and comfort.

Layering light sources helps divide zones and adds depth. Always consider how your choices will look both up close and from inside the house.
