Home Habits: Vacation at Home

 Tips from Lights4Fun

Summer is the season of wanderlust, traveling to warmer climates and escaping the everyday. Rediscover spontaneity and bring the travelling spirit back home by introducing a touch of global influence to your space. Take the time to reconnect with loved ones and enjoy the alfresco lifestyle, whilst soaking up the sunshine. Lights4fun reveals their top tips for creating the ultimate space to enjoy the relaxing atmosphere of outdoor living all summer long. Make your outdoor area the ultimate happy place during the summer months, whether it's a quiet retreat as dusk falls, or the perfect place to gather loved ones and reconnect after time apart. A laidback seating area is the perfect space to host your summer soirees. To create the ultimate atmosphere, place a range of waterproof flameless TruGlow® candles around your space. Elevate your outdoor area by lighting up a walkway with an assortment of elegant black metal lanterns. Choose solar powered lighting that’ll soak up the sun throughout the day and automatically illuminate at dusk and create an effortless magical ambience. Take inspiration from across the globe when designing your summer lounging spot. Brighten up above with string lights swagged back and forth, setting the scene for the perfect staycation setting. Cast a mesmerising glow across your seating area by introducing Moroccan influences with intricately patterned pendant lights to accompany your summer evenings, instantly making your outdoor space the ultimate summer destination. As long afternoons in the sunshine turn into alfresco dinners and after dark gatherings, create a sense of warmth by placing colorful Moroccan lanterns on table tops. Hang the lanterns overhead and hook onto tree branches, securing with string to bring your outdoor area to life. For the ultimate summer statement place lotus flower outdoor lights in flowerbeds or along your pathway to give your space a vacation glow from dusk till dark.
