4 – Add lighting for all-day relaxation

With the right lighting, you can really make a difference to your backyard, helping you enjoy it until the early hours of the morning if you want to. Some gorgeous garden lighting ideas include festoon lights and solar lanterns, which will really add light and ambiance.

As well as adding some lighting, you could bring some warmth to your garden too. A patio heater or a fire pit makes the perfect focal point for your garden. Plus, it will keep things cozy on those chillier evenings.
