Adding great lighting is one of the best ways to make a big impact on any outdoor space. Fairy lights<\/a> and portable lanterns<\/a> are great for adding ambiance, but if you want to illuminate an area and add immediate wow factor, festoon lights are a great choice.<\/p>\n

String them along fences<\/a> and hedges<\/a> or suspend them above patios, pergolas<\/a> and al fresco dining areas. Opt for larger vintage-style bulbs and you could even cluster them in trees and arbours<\/a> for cosy character.<\/p>\n

What are festoon lights?<\/h2>\n

While fairy lights have clusters of little LEDs, festoon lights are full bulbs on a cable. They come in a range of different designs, from vintage-style Edison bulbs to ones with a more modern frosted look. Usually, they\u2019re designed to be used outside, so they\u2019re often waterproof too.<\/p>\n
