The outdoor living season is literally right around the corner. In less than two months spring will arrive in all her glory. That also means the kickoff of the Atlanta outdoor living season. Most Atlanta residents have an outdoor living space, or multiple areas, where they spend the most time outdoors. For many, the backyard deck is a favored location to relax with family and friends. With deck outdoor living in mind, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Atlanta has compiled a list of the top deck lighting ideas to ensure your enjoyment never has to end at sunset!
There are many ways to light your Atlanta deck, including post cap lights, overhead string lighting, rail lights, recessed lighting, and stair lights, among others. When choosing deck lighting, you should consider aspects such as safety, style, and energy efficiency.
Deck Surround Lighting
Deck surround lighting involves the installation of landscape lighting around the deck perimeter. This lighting application will not only enable better visibility when enjoying the deck, but it will aid in enjoyment in the backyard spaces beyond your deck. Outdoor games like corn hole can be played even in the evening. We also recommend installing lighting specifically at the entry and exit points of the deck for enhanced safety. Path lighting also pairs well with deck surround lighting as it increases safety and illumination to and from the deck to other areas of your landscape.
Deck Stair Lighting
Deck stair lighting can be integrated into the treads of the deck design itself. This application is best completed during the construction of the deck. However, Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Atlanta can integrate stair lighting into an existing deck, or patio, to enhance safety and create evening ambiance.
Deck Post Lighting
Post lighting can really brighten your deck space at night. In some cases, path lighting fixtures can be used on the deck posts to accommodate the need for deck post lighting.
Deck Rail Lighting
Adding lighting to you deck railing is a great way to enhance the aesthetics and functionality of your deck. Often installed under the railing cap ledge so only the lighting is visible, and not the fixture, is a favored placement for rail lighting.
Festive string lighting, also known as bistro, café lighting or festival lighting, remains a popular choice for use over decks as well as patios. Festive string lighting is the icing on the cake of your gorgeous backyard deck. These lights provide a more unique feeling and mood than any other lighting style we offer. But it isn’t just one mood – which is why these trending lights are quickly becoming a classic must-have for every Atlanta home.
Recessed Lighting
Recessed lighting involves installing the lighting directly into the surface of your deck or patio. These lights are flush with their surround. They deliver dimension and depth to your overall deck lighting design.
