Spring and summer are around the corner, which means only one thing – it’s time we started showing our outdoor spaces a little more love!

Dust off the lawnmower, take a tug at those overgrown weeds and let’s start envisioning the bigger picture. Incorporating simple lighting techniques is a great way to freshen up your garden, patio and even balcony space, and no lights scream ‘summer fun’ quite like festoons.
