creative ideas for outdoor fixtures

During the summer, a lot of time
is spent outdoors, especially when the sun goes down.  With this, it becomes important that you
use appropriate lighting outdoors. 
Whether you are hosting a party or just relaxing with your friends or
family, you need to make sure there is enough light to illuminate your
outdoors.  Follow these tips to create
a style statement with outdoor fixtures.

Add
a touch of Tiki

If you want your
outdoors to radiate a unique feel, you may want to consider adding an element
of tropical vacation to your garden. 
For this, you can consider having a tiki torch in your garden.  Tiki torches consist of a standard lamp
that uses citronella oil.  This oil has
the potential to repel insects and also has a wick made of fiberglass that
can last a lifetime.  Whether you
intend to have a quiet evening with the family or want to entertain the
guests, you can use tiki torches to give the feeling of being on any
island.

Gaslamp
District

Consider adding a patio
lantern to your backyard to add a touch of nostalgia.  The lantern is made of weather-resistant
materials and uses a standard lamp oil or easily filled containers.  You need to fill this with a liquid that is
usually citronella oil to light up the evening.  The design variations also include four
lanterns that are on a single
post.

Backyard
Zen

Do you want to give a calm
feeling to your meetings in your garden? 
You really need to consider having low voltage trail lights that make
the atmosphere calm and also have a classic design.  All you need to do is place these around
your patio or along a path for
effect.

Play with colors 

Add some color to your
meetings with color-changing candles in your garden.  Many are even solar-powered and present a
fantastic, colorful show.  These lamps
gently change colors.  These are
eastern to install and last for several
years.

Tropical twist 

If you are looking for a
tropical twist in your backdrop setting, you may want to consider installing
pineapple track lights in your garden. 
These are delivered with brass and aluminum construction.  Few even have a copper bronze
finish.
