Terrace lighting essentials

The moment Covid-19 hit, we were stuck indoors, confined to the four walls of our house. In such a situation, the terrace was the one place that kept most of us sane. It enabled people to have their alone time, work in the fresh air, giving them privacy, and most importantly taking their minds off things. It felt like an escape from the monotonous life in lockdown. It became the new 'outdoor' for all while maintaining social distancing.

Even with ease in the restrictions, the terraces became the new gathering spot while pubs and restaurants remained closed. They are perfect for a date night, family gatherings, and drinks with friends. So if you're lucky enough to have a terrace, make sure you decorate it with the perfect lighting fixtures to keep your happy place bright and cheerful. 

Let's take a look at some of the terrace essentials to help you make the right choice.

3. Wall Sconces

Wall lights are known to add visual symmetry to gardens and terraces. They are an easy way to make the outdoors feel homey and cozy without occupying a lot of space or hindering your view. Depending on the type and brightness, they can either assist with light reading and writing, work as a base and provide the only source of lighting in the whole space, or can be used to draw attention to art, frames, or other decors.

Thus, when shopping for scones, it is important to keep the purpose in kind. Vintage/Antique ones may be given a brass finish while modern scones often have a glossy metal finish such as rose gold/ copper pleated ones. If you happen to have stonework decor on your terrace, these lights will provide a complimentary finish to it.
