3 tips to create ambiance in your garden with lighting
Whether you have a garden or a rooftop terrace, you don’t have to compromise on atmosphere or style. With smart choices and the right lighting from in-lite, you can transform any outdoor space into a cozy and inviting retreat. Get inspired by our practical tips to make your garden a place you truly love to be.
Importance of Lighting
The garden is the most beautiful part of your home. The trees, plants, colors, and atmosphere. But when night falls, everything you enjoy suddenly disappears. With in-lite lighting, you’ll discover that your garden truly comes alive in the evening.
The magic of lighting, with the right intensity, perfect balance, and stunning contrasts, creates an experience beyond what you could have imagined. Lighting ensures every corner of your garden is used to its fullest potential.
With in-lite, you not only create practical lighting but also give your garden its own character and ambiance—from the first twilight to late into the night.
Here are three tips to help you create more atmosphere in your garden.
Tip 1: Define sightlines
Whether you have a rooftop terrace or a garden, it’s important to pay close attention to sightlines and pathways. Sightlines are the directions you look along—for example, from inside to outside, from the street to your house, or from a covered seating area to the garden. Keeping these lines clear and attractive makes your outdoor space feel larger and more organized.
Also, consider the pathways you use frequently, such as the path to the backyard. Make sure these routes are well-lit. By focusing on visibility and flow, you not only create a more inviting atmosphere but also make your garden more functional and safer.

Tip 2: Identify key elements
Now that you have a clear understanding of the sightlines, you can decide which elements you want to highlight. Think of the garden path, the driveway, a distinctive tree, a flower bed, the pergola, or a hedge. These are all features you can accentuate with outdoor lighting to add atmosphere and structure to your garden.
Tip 3: Choose the right fixtures
You’ve identified the elements you want to highlight in your garden. Now, consider which fixtures to place around these features. For example, you can choose a specific lighting concept such as ACE, EVO, DISC, or SWAY. Each concept consists of various lighting solutions that share the same look and feel.
Often, we take the design of the garden or house into account to make the right choice. The EVO concept is sleek and modern, while the SWAY concept works well in gardens that emphasize curved shapes and make extensive use of ornamental grasses in the borders.
In addition to striking designs, we also offer fixtures that are barely visible during the day but create atmosphere in the evening. Think of outdoor spotlights and ground recessed lights. For example, you can place outdoor spots like the SCOPE series in flower beds, while ground spots really come into their own in gravel, wood, or grass.
