With summer tantalisingly close, our thoughts are turning ever more to our outdoor spaces. With longer, warmer days the lines between inside and out become delightfully blurred, so knowing how to make the most of your area once the sun goes down will help extend those summer vibes.
Whether you have a garden, a patio or a small balcony, the right lighting can transform your space, both stylishly and practically. This summer, we’re turning to Newgarden to help kit out our gardens.
Brand new to the UK, Newgarden has landed from the south of Spain, and is bringing that Mediterranean spirit through with outdoor lighting, furniture, planters and outdoor decor.
One area where we feel they’re set to make a big splash is with on-trend and handy wireless lighting solutions, so you can bring that Ibiza style with you whether you decide to set up for an evening. Here are our top picks from the latest collections…
What to buy from Newgarden
If you love that relaxed bohemian look of woven pendant lights hanging from trees and pergolas, then Newgarden has just the thing thanks to the Calabardina portable outdoor hanging lamp. With a 3m long cable, you can wind this lamp pretty much anywhere you like for instant style cred without the faff and expense of having electrics added and simply add a rechargeable bulb to get it glowing. Coming in three Balearic-inspired colours (white, terracotta and soft green) there’s a shade for every look. If you end up wanting this within the home too, then no worries, as it comes with an accessory for ceiling installation that your electrician will be able to use with ease.
There are few things quite as versatile as a wireless lamp, and the Okinawa table lamp is a new front-runner to become a perennial favourite. Move wherever you need a light source - be it indoors or out, and turn on and off or adjust the brightness thanks to a remote. Adjust the look to the setting as well, as you can make it taller or shorter when desired. There’s both a USB rechargeable bulb which has a battery life of up to 20 hours, and a panel for solar charging, so when you use this option the longer the charge, the longer the battery life so you can. The pretty bamboo slatted effect will make this look just as good when not in use, too!
When adding light to your garden you may think of lamps, candles and festoon lights - but you’ve probably never thought of how your planters could be light sources themselves. Enter - the Voileta round flowerpot with light. Made from highly-resistant and durable material and in, this design and its colour can withstand all sorts of weather conditions, so you can leave it out year round. Come summer nights, allow the pot to solar charge thanks to the rechargeable battery and choose brightness levels, warmth and even a dusk sensor, so it’ll automatically switch on when needed. All the while, of course, it acts like a regular vessel for your plants!
So to inject a little Spanish-inspired style into your outdoor space this summer, make sure to check out Newgarden for lighting, furniture and oh-so much more.
