There are few things as transformative as lighting in garden design — or any design for that matter — yet it is so often overlooked. Both statement-making and functional, good lighting can completely redefine an outdoor space, creating depth, ambience, and warmth, long after the sun goes down. But it doesn’t have to be time-consuming and expensive to achieve — a few simple, intentional pieces can give a dull space the wow-factor, and one of the simplest ways to do this is with solar lights.
And this is where I want to introduce you to Ellasay's Solar Fence Lights on Amazon. With a 4.6-star rating from over a thousand reviews, it’s safe to say that my interest was instantly piqued when I came across them. As someone who has been on the hunt for stylish garden lighting for my fence, but absolutely not interested in going down the hard-wired route, I was pleasantly surprised by both the style and affordability of these solar lights. A pack of four lights, with three modes, comes in at under £30 — no electrician required. Not bad at all, if you ask me.
With outdoor spaces increasingly considered an extra ‘room’ of the home, they need to be designed with the same intention as your interiors. And after buying some solar lights a few years ago, I couldn't believe the difference they made to my garden — they made it look inviting, even when I was getting ready for bed. But I bought them to go around my seating area, and it's now the other part of my garden that looks distinctly lacking. These solar fence lights might just be the thing to bring the rest of my garden to life and make the overall design more cohesive, too.
