Your closet is incomplete without proper lighting, but the exact type of fixture you opt for is completely up to you. Whether you lean into Gucci glam, or you love a Mango bargain, each outfit accessory you own is instantly enhanced under the right lighting. In fact, when talking of closet space, artful illumination extends way beyond mere aesthetics. “There’s a psychological element at play,” said New York City-based designer Blair Moore. “A beautifully lit space can convince you to dress up, even in an era shaped by casual outfits. Accent lighting, in particular, elevates this experience, urging you to show up as your most confident self.” Though there’s nothing like natural light streaming in your closet, not everyone is lucky enough to have this setup, making overhead ambient lighting the next best choice. Today, we’ll walk you through every option, from the fixtures you can pick to the finishing touches that bring your closet to life. 13 Brilliant Closet Lighting Ideas Stick on Closet LED Strip Lights Add LED strip lights to your closet shelves so that you can fully flaunt all of your clothing and accessories, even if it’s dark outside. Plus, you’ll never lose track of everything you have on hand when it's all easy to view and access. For a sleek, high-end look, try the Govee COB Strip Light Pro. It creates a more continuous glow (no harsh “dot” effect), so shelves look more elevated, especially in modern closets. Opt for a Pendant Light with Character Credit: Casa Watkins Living Give your closet some personality by choosing a pendant light with character. This geometric fixture brings instant intrigue to the space while providing enough brightness throughout. Try a Trio of Pendants Credit: Vandiver L Chaplin Take a cue from the kitchen and install a group of pendant lights in your closet for maximum impact. This space, designed by Bailey Austin, leans on a midcentury mod lucite and brass design to add a pop of character to the otherwise neutral interior. Create a Pool of Light with a Chandelier Credit: Phillip Thomas “Bedroom lighting ideas are vital, and adequate lighting is especially important in a walk-in closet or dressing room where time is spent dressing up for the day or evening ahead,” says interior designer Kate Lion, at Kitesgrove. You should first consider the amount of natural light the space receives, as this will decide how much artificial lighting is needed. In the evening (and on gloomy days), the chandelier creates a soft pool of light right in the center of the closet, creating a cocooning atmosphere. Go Vintage Credit: Erin Williamson Design If you wish for a more storied vibe, opt for an antique-looking fixture like this one. Full of charm, its small size is well-suited to tight spaces (which closet areas usually are). Add a Skylight Credit: Homes to Love No one said the illumination in your closet needs to be entirely artificial. If it works with your architecture, why not incorporate a skylight into your closet space? After all, natural light is always the most flattering, and it instantly makes the closet feel like an extension of your home (not a dark, cold nook). Use Mirrors to Bounce Light Credit: Sara Cosgrove Decorating with mirrors is an incredibly versatile design rule, adding instant interest and glamor, while maximizing light + boosting the sense of space. The antique mirror in this closet not only adds a touch of opulence but also bounces every ray of available light, giving the illusion of a bigger space. Hang Sconces If you’re designing a closet from scratch, consider whether you want to include wall sconces. It’s always best to think ahead and plan for wiring or outlets. Think of Lighting as Jewelry Credit: Gillian Jackson Like jewelry completes an outfit, a lovely lighting fixture can introduce that extra little something to your closet that totally makes it sing. Case in point: The eye-catching Sputnik-style design that tops off this walk-in from California Closets with dramatic flair. Use Vertical Lighting in a Large Closet Credit: Caballero Vertical lighting, installed at the front of your wardrobe, works exceptionally well, as you can see the entire length of your garments without any dark corners. Opt for LED lighting with an opaque cover to add a modern design feature. Alternatively, discreet white LEDs in the ceiling are an equally sleek option. Amp Up Your Natural Glow Credit: Heather Hilliard Want to feel amazing in everything you put on? Go for a fixture that naturally casts light in a flattering way, like the modern milky chandelier in this closet space by Heather Hilliard. When paired with a toned-down camel paint, it’s basically an IRL filter for your closet. Bring in a Wow Factor for Your Closet Credit: Thrifty Decor Chick Style a simple closet with a wow-worthy fixture like this floral pick. If making major changes to your closet design isn’t an option, then let the lighting reflect your personality. Put a Table lamp in the Closet Credit: Diana Elizabeth If you have the space, consider incorporating a table lamp for additional lighting. It will diffuse a nice, warm glow in the evening, or can be used in place of any one of the overhead lights in the morning. Bonus points if it's a statement piece that can double as decor when not in use. FAQs about Wardrobe Lighting Ideas What type of light bulbs are not allowed in closets? Incandescent bulbs are usually the biggest no-go for closets. They run hot, and in a tight space packed with fabric, that extra heat is not worth the risk. To stay on the safe side, stick with LED bulbs. They stay cool and last longer, plus give you clean, even light that makes colors look more accurate. Also, avoid bare bulbs or fixtures without a cover. Closets get bumped, boxes get stacked, and an exposed bulb is easier to break. Enclosed fixtures or recessed LEDs are best. What is the closet lighting trend for 2026? Closet lighting in 2026 is all about layered, built-in glow- soft diffusion and lighting that feels “custom” even in a simple closet. The top closet lighting trends for 2026 include… COB LED strip lighting Vertical wardrobe lighting Motion-sensor LEDs Warm color temperatures Statement fixtures Hidden lighting channels What is the best closet lighting? The best closet lighting is one that’s layered: bright, even ambient light plus targeted accent lighting. An ideal setup would be to install overhead ambient lighting + LED strips (or vertical lighting) inside wardrobes. Add to that warm-white bulbs (around 2700K–3000K) and high CRI bulbs (90+ if possible). Final Words Good closet lighting is one of those upgrades that feels small, but changes everything. The good part is, you don’t need a full renovation to get it right. Even the simplest upgrades, like adding Govee strip lights or closet ceiling light, can make your closet feel high-end ✨

Easter Table Decorating Ideas Set a simple Easter table with a few key items—an Easter egg tied into a pretty blue cloth to mimic bunny eggs. We love how the soft, earthy tones play so well with the white plates and modern gold flatware. Add in a gauzy runner and a whimsical centerpiece made of dried grasses and pampas, and you’ve got a spring-ready table that feels fresh, festive, and totally photo-worthy. 7. Hanging Eggs To double down on the symbols of spring, try hanging dyed eggs from flowering branches. You can simply order blown-out eggs with small holes on each end, and get straight to the fun. Tint them in inviting hues (some solid-colored, some striped), and pull a ribbon through each to create a loop on top. 8. Egg Garlands This garland is truly to dye for. Tint blown-out eggs in a few serene colors that complement your space. No knots needed; simply hang each egg with a thin piece of string to a length of twine and drape it across your mantel, sideboard, or banister. Finish off with a touch of greenery and a few scented candles for an extra layer of charm. 9. Personalized Decor Ditch boring place cards with personalized, dyed eggs on each plate. Sounds quirky, but looks super cool. Use a permanent marker to write down your guest’s name on the egg, and place it on a mini DIY nest arranged on the plate. Bonus points if you can accent with a couple of your favorite seasonal blooms. 10. Easter Bunny Banner This lovely Easter decor idea starts with a plain canvas fabric. Once you cut your banner shape, paint on a bunny (doesn’t necessarily have to be as fancy as shown in the picture; a simple silhouette would do, too), and stick a bright yarn pom-pom tail. Hop to it 11. DIY Easter Decorations Credit: Carson Downing Use basic salt dough to design a set of vibrant bunny napkin rings. Just a few drops of food coloring give the ornaments aesthetic swirls of color, perfect for a springtime brunch. Not only do they introduce a fun festive touch, but making and decorating Easter ornaments is a super fun family activity, for both adults and kids. 12. Easter Centerpiece Tray A minimal, springy, holiday-themed idea. Grab a lovely serving tray from your kitchen; any that you have, would be great if it matches the overall color scheme. Fill with mosses, speckled eggs, spring candles, a bunny statue, and some delicious candies. 13. Bunny Vase Pro Tip: Keep an eye out year-round to land unique finds you can use for your spring (and summer) decor. This funky, bunny flower vase is sold as a piece for the kids’ room, but works overtime as a whimsical addition to your Easter Sunday decor. 14. Carrot-Shaped Wreath Credit: Gabriela Hardan This easy-to-make door decoration combines two spring garden favorites: tulips and carrots. Faux greenery and tulips (available in bunches, but this design uses individual flowers) have been fastened together with floral wire, gradually widening to create the shape of a carrot. A simple ribbon ties it all together. 15. Simple Swaps Easter decorating ideas don’t have to break the bank—and this living room proves it. A couple of simple swaps, if done tactfully, can do wonders. Here, the floral blue-and-white cushions bring in a playful spring print that echoes the season’s fresh start, while the vibrant hydrangea bouquet on the coffee table becomes an instant showstopper. Layer in seasonal reads, natural textures like rattan baskets, and a few greenery pops in the shelves—and voilà! Your room is Easter-ready without any fuss. 16. Patterned Table When your tablecloth becomes the centerpiece, you know you’ve struck seasonal decor gold. This Easter tablescape is one of our favorite Easter spring decorating ideas, with a soft botanical print tablecloth that sets the tone for everything else. Layered with gold flatware, green-tinted glassware, and crisp white dinnerware rimmed in gold, the setting feels so fresh. Whether you’re hosting brunch or a formal holiday dinner, a patterned table like this one is proof that a little detail goes a long way. 17. Pretty Palms Who says Easter has to be all pastels and bunnies? This year, give your spring decor a modern twist with fresh palm accents. Paired with soft pink and white blooms, the greenery adds contrast, texture, and just the right amount of drama. Style it in a sculptural ceramic vase or lay it flat across your table runner. Either way, palm leaves bring a breezy, effortless feel that’s perfect for both Easter brunch and everyday spring styling. Bonus: they last longer than delicate flowers and work beautifully with both vibrant and neutral color palettes. 18. Blue Nests Play up the beauty of neutral eggs with a stunning jewel tone. This gem of a nest was crafted from an old wicker basket that had been coated blue. Don’t worry if you skip holes here and there while painting; a bit of unruliness ups the charm. 19. Easter Tree Extend the idea of artificial trees from Christmas all the way to Easter… or even the entire spring! And why not? A mini tree is the cutest Easter decoration to set the holiday tone. Delicate faux florals in soft pinks, creamy whites, and baby blues intertwine with speckled eggs for a look that feels fresh from the garden. It’s beautifully balanced, not overly fussy, and so easy to style. 20. Easter Egg Muffins Talk about almost too pretty to eat.

Just like that, you can also try cute indoor Easter decoration ideas, like using a Goove Neon Rope Light to create the shape of an Easter egg or rabbit on your living room wall. Sleek but statement. 22. Tiered Bouquets Enliven your upcoming buffet with an arrangement of lovely tulips presented in eggcups on a tiered cake stand. Sprinkle some candies around to make it edible as well as aesthetic. 23. Vibrant Garden Party Prepare for Easter with this special gathering in the garden. Host a design-your-own-centerpiece party. Ask everyone to bring their own baskets for the arrangements and offer a variety of potted plants. Gloves and gardening shears make great affordable party favors. 24. Tulip Topper Quick, last-minute idea. Grab your favorite-colored tulips, and wrap them in white ribbon to create a lovely plate topper. Guests can even take them home as a keepsake—nothing more heartwarming than that, is there? Remember to choose tulips that haven’t fully opened yet. Also, keep them under indirect light until ready to set the table. 25. Printable Easter Sign Let the hunt begin—in style! Stick up a sign, like this one, to help little bunnies navigate their way to sweet surprises. Print a few more signs with phrases like “You’re Getting Warmer,” “This Way to Treats,” or “Almost There!” and place them throughout the yard or home to guide the players along the way. It turns the classic egg hunt into an adorable adventure—and makes your Easter decor idea look totally put together while you're at it. Final Words And there you have it—Easter decorating ideas that are as charming as they are cheerful. To take things up a notch (especially once the sun sets), don’t forget to add a little glow.

Choosing the best home office design ideas is as important for your aesthetic pleasure as it is for your productivity, and remember that it doesn’t have to be all business. Tailor your workstation to your tastes, needs, and personality with the right chair, desk, lighting, storage, and accents to create a space that’s equal parts functional and stylish. Get started with these 30 ideas in a range of sizes and layouts for inspiration. What are Home Office Design Trends for 2026? Nature-Infused Workspaces One notable feature of the 2026’s home office trends is the integration of nature, and why not? Biophilic design calms the mind and softens the energy of a work-heavy room. Plus, it’s so easy to incorporate- plants, natural wood accents, textured stone pieces, woven baskets, soft linen decor, you name it! Tech Integration Credit: Govee gaming lights Tech is revolutionizing design! Smart gadgets, tech-savvy furniture, and automated systems enhance workplace productivity while adding a modern, streamlined vibe. You can, in fact, set a new standard for convenience and work output with clever choices. Inspiring Paint Colors Credit: Benjamin Moore Gone are the days of plain white walls dominating every workspace. Bold hues that spark productivity are now the new home office trend. Not only do they get your brain in motion, but they also look absolutely uplifting. This year’s favorites lean warm and grounded: earthy neutrals, rich greens, and muted blues, colors that have the power to shape your entire mood. Small Home Office Ideas for Tiny Rooms 1. Hang Art Over the Desk Credit: Neva Interior Design Tight square footage means you might have to tuck your workplace into a random corner of the house, perhaps next to your bedroom wardrobe or maybe under the stairs. An easy way to define the zone is to hang a beautiful piece of artwork over the desk. Additional perk: it gives your eye something to rest on that doesn’t involve office equipment. 2. Utilize Vertical Space Definitely one of the most foolproof small home office ideas. Vertical storage keeps everything tidy and opens up breathing room around your desk. Think floating shelves for books and décor, pegboards for tools and supplies, or wall-mounted file racks that keep papers off your workspace. You can even add a slim ladder-style shelf if you want storage with a softer, more design-forward touch. The goal is simple: build upward. 3. Soften with Decor… Credit: Jessica Lagrange …so the space blends seamlessly with the rest of the home. Here, the homeowner complemented a wingback office chair, a curvy desk, and floral wallpaper with framed photos, flowers, and sentimental objects to make the corner feel personal but still polished. 4. Try a Living Room Desk Credit: Desiree Burns Interiors Place a desk in a corner of the living room (preferably somewhere near the windows) if you don’t have space elsewhere. It will sit as a part of the rest of the decor, given you make the right choices (like the pink powder chair in this home, which blends with the overall palette). 5. Try a Wall-Mounted Desk Credit: Cathie Hong Interiors A wall-mounted desk will double as a bookshelf and your home office. Use the top shelves to display lovely decor, and the lowest to organize your workplace essentials. Opt for a slim, foldable chair, so you can stow it away when not in use. 6. DIY a Closet Office Credit: Home Made by Carmona A quirky but super fun idea. Repurpose that spare closet in your home into a cozy, functional cloffice. A built-in desk, sleek wall-mounted storage (styled with knick-knacks), and a modern pendant will do just the trick. Minimalist Modern Home Office Ideas 1. Float the Desk Credit: Yael Weiss Interiors Give your modern home office a light, airy feel by floating the desk. And no, we don’t mean hanging it in the air or something. We mean simply pulling it away from the walls. Even better if you can find a glass desk + a wire chair to amplify the breezy aesthetic. 2. Pair White Walls and Wood Credit: Cathie Hong Interiors A classic idea for modern interiors: white & wood, a simple recipe that works every single time. Minimal decor, like a graphic wall calendar and a couple of hanging plants, keeps it from feeling too sparse. You can also add a pop of color with a patterned rug or a cheery piece of artwork. 3. Divide Space into Zones Credit: Fantastic Frank Set up a home office in a studio apartment by dividing the space into zones- another modern-home aesthetic where visual distractions are minimized as much as possible. This workstation has a toned-down, neutral palette that unites nearby relaxation, sleeping, and work areas into one without feeling awkward. 4. Embrace High Glam Credit: Candace Mary Interiors If you’re a polished professional with a high-profile job, adapt your home office design ideas to match. Organic shapes, mixed materials, and close attention to detail will instantly give your space that sophisticated, glamorous vibe. 5. Hang Some Wallpaper Credit: Emily Henderson Design Modern is all about adding character without clutter, as shown in this chic home office. The gray-and-white plaid-check wallpaper is cheerful but still muted enough not to distract. Paired with the natural materials, the final result is a striking balance of warmth and minimalism. 6. Hide Clutter with Built-Ins Credit: Leanne Ford Interiors The easiest way to keep your home office clutter-free (but modern) is to maximize closed storage. A wall of built-in cabinets and drawers painted in a soft taupe keeps the space tidy and organized. Add to that a few labeled bins and a concealed charging station. Best Home Office Setup Ideas 1. Set up Dual Monitors for Efficiency An idea that particularly appeals to professionals, creatives, and remote workers who benefit from extra screen space. Dual monitors make multitasking smoother (research on one screen, work on the other) and reduce the constant tab-switching that slows you down. Tip- Angle them slightly inward. 2. Build a Productivity-Focused Layout Design the interior around productivity. Focus on everything that enhances motivation to get through long, tough afternoons, including task zones, lighting placements, built-in calendars, and organizing tools. Let the decor shine through these pieces; opt for items like a sculptural desk lamp and a stylish corkboard that doubles as decor, aesthetic, and functional together. 3. Make use of a Corner Desk Credit: Jenn Pablo Studio Maximize square footage with a built-in corner desk. Perfect for small rooms where you want to create a dedicated “work zone.” This home office has an L-shaped workstation and a picture window with a view (an arrangement that is sure to boost productivity . 4. Try a Hybrid Setup Hybrid workplaces have become the new norm, and while the layout might have a different definition in formal offices, at-home hybrid work areas mean setups that support both standing and sitting. Keep things flexible with a height-adjustable desk, a supportive chair, and a standing mat so you can switch positions throughout the day. 5. Set up a Workstation with Good Lighting Studies have shown that work efficiency is directly related to light levels, so whichever home office ideas you may choose, adequate illumination is a must. Opt for Govee Lights or layered lighting setups that reduce eye strain (and boost ambience!). Most Effective Home Office Layout Ideas 1. Balcony Setup Credit: Design Cafe Build yourself an ideal workstation on the balcony, especially if you’re tight on space or your apartment doesn’t receive enough natural light. You can close it with sliding glass panels to block unnecessary noise (and for a bit of extra privacy). 2. Window-Facing Layout Credit: Future PLC Another smart home office layout idea is to place your desk right infront of the window. There will be extra natural light, of course, but it will also help reduce eye strain, as your eyes can reset between tasks. Don’t forget to install blinds (if you haven’t already) to minimize glare on brighter days. 3. Dual-Purpose Office Credit: Ideal Home If you prefer to keep your bedroom purely for unwinding, your office can easily live in the guest room. Just keep the setup minimal and aligned with the room’s decor, so visitors don’t feel like they’re staying inside your work zone. 4. Wall-Facing Desk Though an outward-facing desk is most recommended, it requires more space (not possible if you’re squeezing things into a living area), and some consideration of practical elements (like the location of electrical sockets). Now, if the most logical solution for you is to have your desk face a wall, take it as an opportunity to get creative with wall space. Treat the entire area as a supersized pinboard, covering the wall with cork tiles, so you can pin up reference supplies, favorite pictures and swatches that will inspire. 5. Office on a Landing Credit: Future PLC It’s easy to believe a home office must be tucked away in a dedicated room, but finding a less common spot to work, like a landing, could be the source of some much-needed inspiration. Tip- Opt for a desk that blends with the space (e.g., a similar spindle style or wood shade) to avoid crowding the area. Home Office Ideas on a Budget 1. Repurpose the Furniture You Already Have You don’t necessarily have to splurge on new pieces. Repurposing the furniture you already own is a brilliant idea, too. A console table can instantly become a chic desk, a dining chair can double as a comfortable seat, and an old bookshelf can turn into stylish storage. Your “new” home office will be ready without costing you a cent. 2. Affordable Wall Shelving No need to go over the board. The simplest ideas can serve as the most innovative storage options. Floating shelves, pegboards, or simple wall brackets will keep things organized without the cost of full built-ins. 3. Office Lighting Ideas Nothing complicated here, either. Even a simple table lamp from your living room can provide well-focused lighting for your workstation. Extra charm added if it matches the overall scheme. 4. Paint the Nook Credit: Siham Mazouz No budget to invest in a divider? No problem. Grab a bucket of your favorite paint color, and give the wall behind your workstation a fresh lick. Zone = defined. Mood = uplifted. Tip- Removable wallpaper works too, if paint feels expensive. 5. Use Printable Artwork Credit: Moon Arch Wall Art Artwork from other rooms in the home might not sit perfectly in your workspace, so here’s a better idea: print your artwork. Purchase frames from a thrift store (or Amazon), and pop in your printed designs for a budget-friendly upgrade. Best Home Office Light Fixtures 1.

One of the easiest ways to upgrade your outdoor space is with great lighting. Paired with fixtures on your home and thoughtfully placed lights around your landscape, outdoor pathways deserve just as much attention. Sure, planning pathway lighting ideas might feel overwhelming (considering the hundreds of options available), but it doesn’t have to. With both aesthetics and functionality in mind, we’ve rounded up a couple of our favorite picks to make the decision simple for you. Types of Pathway Lighting Smart Color Changing Pathway Lighting Credit: Govee outdoor lights Smart pathway lights have systems that let you manage the lighting through apps, motion sensors, or voice assistants, rather than just basic timers or manual switches. The best part is, they don’t change how the fixtures look- still as design-forward. Solar Pathway Lights Credit: The Spruce Solar pathway lights are one of the most popular choices for outdoor walkways, and for good reason. They’re easy to install, energy-efficient, and ideal if you want a low-commitment upgrade without wiring. Most solar lights simply stake into the ground and charge during the day, then automatically switch on at dusk. However, solar pathway lights depend heavily on sunlight, which means shady areas, dense trees, or short winter days can be a problem. Low-Voltage LED Pathway Lights Credit: Nebo Low-voltage LED lights connect to a transformer that plugs into a standard outdoor outlet, and because they don’t rely on sunlight, they work especially well for shaded pathways, front walkways, side yards, and entry paths where reliability matters. In-Ground / Recessed Lights Credit: Omnissal A great option if you’re looking for a more polished look. No visible fixtures, just a subtle wash of light that defines the path beautifully. Though installation requires a bit more planning (such as proper drainage and weather-rated housings), in-ground lights can handle foot traffic with ease once installed correctly. Bollard & Post Lights Credit: Up Shine A classic pathway lighting idea. Casting light outwards and downwards, bollard fixtures are ideal for long or open walkways, shared paths, and areas where people approach from multiple directions. The primary consideration when working with these fixtures is spacing, which often has a bigger impact than brightness. Fewer fixtures, placed thoughtfully, usually look better than a tightly packed row. Step Lighting Credit: Sagan Electric Step lighting is all about safety with a subtle design payoff. Each fixture is installed directly into stair risers or the sides of steps, helping guide movement and avoid tripping hazards. They’re basically a 2-in-1: practicality and ambiance, together. 15 Creative Pathway Lighting Ideas Mushroom Pathway Lights Credit: @libertylandscapessupply (Instagram) These matte mushroom pathway lights are simple and sleek, perfect if you’re searching for something that does the job but doesn’t steal focus. Given the narrow spread of light they cast, they’re an incredible option to highlight any architectural features in your backyard. Subtle Downlighting Credit: Jit Lim Path lighting is usually done using downlights. The key is to choose discreet fixtures that illuminate the pathway without dominating the design. Also, try to opt for smaller spike lights with angled heads, so you can adjust and move them around as plants grow and the landscape shifts. Patterned Illumination Lights Credit: Etsy These wired pathway lights feature an interesting pattern that is both classic and decorative. You can install the light cascade on the path on its own, or set it against a backdrop of lovely flowers that align well with the light itself. Rustic Lanterns Credit: Adam Potts For a quick, temporary solution, line your pathway with lanterns- an easy way to bring some magic to your backyard and help guests navigate around the space. Stick to a unison look, or mix shapes, styles, and heights for an eclectic feel. Remember to use LED candles (not real flames) that won’t get put out by damp conditions, and also reduce the fire risks. Recessed Look Credit: @cos.design (Instagram) Recessed fixtures can be handy for modern lighting ideas, where you don’t want bulky lights to block the way. They are practical for small backyards, as they illuminate the area without taking up much space, helping to create the illusion of extra square footage. Garden String Lights Credit: Getty Images Footlights are helpful when illuminating your garden path, but strands of string lights lining a walkway can create a stunning ambiance. Get a long strand of socket bulbs, either classic or warm white, or swap them out for a more vibrant set to add some backyard whimsy. Swaying Reed Lights Credit: @dazuma.us Solar reed lights are a fun option if you want to enhance your existing plants or to simply introduce a more whimsical approach. Designed to dance in the breeze, these would work well placed within planters along your path or stacked among any tall grasses. Moonlighting Credit: Is It Sharp Moonlighting is the art of bringing soft light into your garden to illuminate the landscape exactly like the moon would. Instead of placing lights low to the ground, this technique involves higher lighting points to create drama as it illuminates the different silhouettes of your lawn. Light from Above Credit: Christian DuRocher Pathway lighting doesn’t have to stop at ground level; it can also come from above. Think woven pendants, string lights, or soft lanterns hung from trees or pergolas, gently guiding the way. It’s an approach that feels “planned,” and more atmospheric. Handrail Lighting Credit: Livers Bronze If your pathway includes railings or low boundary edges, hide the lighting there. Slim LED strips tucked beneath handrails or along path edges cast light downward exactly where it’s needed. Glass Globe Pathway Lights Credit: Wayfair If you wish to line an awkward area that has no nearby lawn to stake into, these glass globes are the best option. Along with being both beautiful and practical, they can also be repurposed elsewhere in the garden as needed. Wall-Wash Path Lighting Credit: American Outdoor Lighting Instead of lighting the path directly, let nearby walls do the work. Low fixtures aimed upward can wash fences or retaining walls with light, subtly outlining the walkway, all without placing anything directly in the path. Firework Lights Credit: @by_aainaya (Instagram) As another mid-height choice for pathway lighting ideas, these fun & festive firework-shaped lights are so cool. They’d work well tucked among your garden beds, or closer to the walkway. They’re also available in multiple colors at multiple stores.
