As temperatures rise and windows are opened, outdoor spaces in our homes become the stars. Whether you have a terrace, balcony, veranda, patio or a proper garden, here are some outdoor lighting ideas to inspire you and help you make the most of your outdoor space. Even after the sun has set.
1. Echoes of the Mediterranean
Perhaps your home is on a sun-drenched Mediterranean island… Or maybe you just wish it were. In either case, the first of our outdoor lighting ideas features natural tones and materials and, of course, the essential white. It takes little to recreate this style even on a small balcony: with materials like cotton, linen and jute, some artfully imperfect furniture, and, if possible, light wood.
For a top-notch result, outdoor lights and lamps should integrate with the rest of the decor, standing out for their understated elegance. A coastal and relaxed atmosphere is guaranteed, day or night, even if you live hundreds of kilometres from the sea.

2. Spring all year round
Before it is even a season, spring is a mood within you, bursting with energy, optimism, sociability, and colour. Does your outdoor space speak this language even in the height of summer? Then go for country or boho chic elements, plenty of plants, and just as many rattan or wicker chairs to share with friends. Together with a glass and your irrepressible zest for life. The garden or terrace lighting you choose should be warm and full, with lights whose details are strictly coordinated with the rest of the décor.

3. String light
Even in outdoor spaces, light design plays a fundamental role, and among the various ideas for outdoor lighting, the most evocative is certainly the string light.
Whether hung from a tree in the garden, placed on a porch or fixed to a balcony railing, this type of lamp now comes in more and more shapes and can be customised to the extreme. What’s more, it immediately brings summer to mind and never goes out of style, just like the desire to chat with friends late into the evening.
4. The call of the countryside
Always full of soul and memories, country houses have often been transformed today into truly charming homes. Stylish gems, perfect in every detail, that still retain the ability to slow down time—helping us recharge—and the close bond between people and nature. Let your imagination and heart run free as you choose outdoor lighting ideas to enhance your patio, veranda or garden.
One thing you definitely shouldn’t be without is a wall light above the main door and above the French windows—a wall lamp that will guide you home after you’ve lost yourself among blooming meadows and sweet thoughts.

5. The beauty of simplicity
If you are among those who love understated, clean lines and believe that true beauty lies in simplicity, you can bring this mood into your outdoor space, which should be minimal and essential. The ideal ideas for outdoor lights in this case can be those made up of just a ceiling rose, a cable, a lamp holder and a light bulb. Hang them wherever you like, over a romantic little table perfect for tête-à-tête dinners or over a large sofa to share with friends and family.
One key consideration when choosing outdoor lights and lamps: make sure they are safe and have a suitable protection rating for outdoor use. Here at Creative-Cables, we can offer you the first patented IP65 cable system, with guaranteed levels of protection and performance even in the rain. With lampshade or exposed light bulbs, with one, two or more lamp holders, in pastel colours or timeless black, customise it now with the configurator.
