Lighting Concepts for Garden and Patio: Combining Candles Effectively

A good outdoor lighting concept thrives on multiple layers. Instead of using just one light source, various candles and light points create a significantly cozier atmosphere.

The first layer: Table light

A candle on the table creates intimacy. It immediately makes meals, conversations, and small breaks cozier.

The second layer: Floor light

A larger concrete candle or a garden fire on the ground expands the lighting area and adds depth to the terrace.

The third layer: Accent light

Small candles on steps, walls, or window sills visually connect the garden and terrace.

Less is often more

A good lighting concept doesn't have to be bright. The crucial element is the mood: warm, calm, and deliberately placed.

Our recommendation

For outdoor lighting concepts, the Fire & Ash Set, the XL Citronella Candle "Mücke Schreck" and the Outdoor Citronella Collection are suitable.
