Outdoor Lighting & Decor
Most outdoor spaces in Egypt get used most in the evening — and most have a single harsh overhead light, or nothing. Layered lighting is the cheapest change that makes the biggest difference to how often a space actually gets used.
Who this is for
- Anyone whose outdoor space goes unused after dark
- Spaces with one bare bulb or a single wall light
- People who host in the evening
Problems this solves
- A single harsh overhead light that flattens the space
- Being unable to use the space after sunset
- Steps and level changes that aren't visible at night
- A space that feels cold rather than inviting
Design possibilities
- Festoon and string lighting
- Floor and wall uplighting on planting
- Integrated lighting within pergolas and seating
- Lanterns and portable lighting
- Decor, textiles and finishing touches
Materials and approach
Outdoor-rated warm-temperature fittings, weatherproof connections, and switching arranged so you can light the space in layers rather than all at once.
