3 Outdoor Lighting Choices That Are Making Your Garden Feel Tacky and Cheap

An outdoor dining room with mood lighting.

If I were to pick out the one, singular thing that separates an amazing garden from a meh garden, it's a good lighting scheme. And if there's one thing I'd like to make sure of this summer, it's that none of us get to August with a garden that still looks lackluster.

It's often underestimated, but the truth of the matter is your outdoor lighting is just as important as whatever you've got going on indoors, arguably even more. A considered, chic lighting scheme is what will make your garden a place that's enjoyable to be in no matter the hour; the spot you never want to leave. It's the key to designing a garden for hosting, too. No garden lights, no vibes. And yet, we still see so many people opting for the same, worn-down, outdated styles.
