If you are just planning the rear courtyard, or have already decided to re -equip it, do not forget about external lighting. Several outer lamps can help you create a certain mood, take care of safety or emphasize.
The long time, the courtyards have become more and more popular, since it is there that you can take a break from all worries or have fun with the company. Such a courtyard can be a great continuation of your house if you withstand the style of the premises and the outer territory.
Garden furniture and barbecue.
A very good idea is to make a gazebo in the backyard. There, under a canopy, it will be possible to arrange a table with chairs, take out and install a barbecue, or you can even a small refrigerator so that cool wine and snacks are at hand right there. Under such conditions, your courtyard will be a wonderful place to receive guests and hold parties. You can move here even after the official part of the holiday held in the house has ended.
Depending on the climate, such arbors can be used even all year round, if you choose the right furniture and add the hearth. And you can make a gazebo closed and, if necessary, take out the heater there!
Lighting sets the mood.
Since now the gazebo has become an integral and most important part of your courtyard, it is necessary to conduct electricity there, and accordingly and engage in lighting. Consult with electrical specialists, as well as with a designer, how to best use lighting to:
– Create a special mood for parties and family holidays.
– Reduce the level of danger, illuminating especially risky places – ladders, protrusions, doors.
– Focus on especially beautiful trees, shrubs, flower beds.
The variety of types of backlighting.
Among the main categories of external backlight, one can distinguish:
Decorative lamps – small external lamps, beautifully decorated, which are used to decorate flower beds, paths, small decorative reservoirs.
Spotlights – can illuminate the entire panorama of the courtyard. You can also highlight the stairs or dark dangerous areas.
Lower light – used to illuminate objects from below. Well installed along the entire track. With this option, the light does not hit the eye, and the whole path is well lit.
Upper light – lamps are installed below, but sent up. So good to highlight trees, bushes and flowers.
Remember:
Determine the place in which the gazebo will be located during the purchase of the house. After all, then, when you already sign all the papers, it will be very insulting to suddenly find that there is simply nowhere to build a coveted abode of peace and relaxation. This embarrassment will be especially unpleasant in the case of buying elite housing, where in fact there should be everything you need for happiness.
