The choice of balcony lighting
The lighting of the terrace must obviously be based on the style of the furnishings, the layout of the environment and above all on one’s personal tastes. The first rule is to choose low intensity lights, in order to make the atmosphere as pleasant and relaxed as to be expected. The lights must therefore be positioned only where necessary, i.e. on the access point and possibly on a table or on some strategic point. And above all, it is good to choose warm lights, which accentuate the relaxing effect you are looking for, preferably warm white. Eventually, the choice of LED solutions can also be considered.
How to light up a small or large balcony
The solutions to be adopted obviously vary depending on the size of your balcony. If you have a modestly sized and shallow balcony, it will be enough to apply one or two points of light. You could install applique, lamps or lanterns on the wall.If more light is needed, arrange romantic table lights, perhaps on the parapet or on the coffee table.
Con un balcone più grande, si può invece utilizzare lampade da esterno a luce indiretta, in modo da convogliare la luce in direzione del soffitto, e anche aggiungere almeno una applique da esterno, che aggiungono un tocco più soft e diffondono la luce anche nella zona conversazione. Inserendo poi un lampadario da esterno posto sul tavolo è possibile differenziare le zone illuminate secondo l’uso.
With a larger balcony, you can instead use indirect light outdoor lamps, in order to direct the light towards the ceiling, and also add at least one outdoor wall lamp, which add a softer touch and also diffuse the light in the area. conversation. Then by inserting an outdoor chandelier placed on the table, it is possible to differentiate the illuminated areas according to use.
