Outdoor lighting determines the appearance and atmosphere of homes. For this reason, it is essential to take care of the entire design in detail, paying particular attention to the choice of the most suitable designer garden floor lamps.
In decorative lighting for the home, it is essential to introduce this particular type of lamp, since floor lamps are extremely versatile in functional and aesthetic terms.
Making mistakes in the choice and positioning of the latter could compromise the image and mood of the entire location.
To avoid making mistakes, we have put together a brief guide on how to choose the most suitable lighting design solutions for your project and where to place them.

Designer garden floor lamps: advice on choice and positioning
Creating a decorative lighting project for outdoor locations means choosing the right lighting design solutions and, above all, knowing how to position them correctly, satisfying each space.
To do this correctly, we have compiled a list of 5 tips on the choice and placement of designer garden floor lamps. In particular:
- Map out the perimeter of the garden and evaluate the available space
- Make a layout of the lighting by choosing where to place the lamps
- Depending on the location, select the appropriate temperature of the lights
- Don't forget about aesthetics
- Create the right mood around the areas of interest
Now let’s take a look at each point.
1. Map out the perimeter of the garden and evaluate the available space
To get started on the right foot, it is necessary to evaluate the space available in the garden, performing site inspections, and then mapping out the perimeter.
By doing this, you will have an idea of the extent of the location you are dealing with. Furthermore, you will be able to identify the passage areas and the strategic points in which to place the designer garden floor lamps that your client has chosen. To be precise and detailed, the design must include:
- The layout of the house, of course;
- Every type of decoration and/or architectural element present in the garden;
- Plants and trees;
- Benches;
- Paths, walkways and small paths (including the respective height and length measurements).
2. Make a layout of the lighting by choosing where to place the lamps
Once the locations have been defined and the main areas to be illuminated have been identified, it is possible to make the lighting layout and choose where to place the lamps.
On the sides of a cobblestone path or perhaps at the foot of a picturesque natural stone staircase or, very simply, in the centre of an elegant outdoor sitting area sheltered under a luxury gazebo would be ideal.
3. Select the appropriate temperature of the lights based on the location
Now that you have decided together with your customer where the lamps will be positioned, you will know which type of light source (warm or cold light) will be necessary to illuminate the areas in question.
To be clearer, in every lighting design project, be it indoor or outdoor, it is important to ensure excellent visibility and safety. For this reason, it is essential to include the three main levels of functional lighting, namely:
- Ambient lighting;
- Task lighting;
- Accent lighting.
The temperature of the light, in fact, is in close contact with these types of lighting, since each degree of brightness is suitable, respectively, for:
the creation of the atmosphere;
carrying out daily activities and guaranteeing freedom of movement;
the enhancement of architectural details and decorative elements of the home.
4. Don't forget about aesthetics
As you well know, light has not only the task of illuminating, already important in itself, but it must also know how to decorate and entertain. This is why we advise you to choose lamps with a creative design, as well as lighting solutions that adhere to the aesthetics without giving up the functional side.
5. Create the right mood around the areas of interest
To create a fresh and daring mood, it is advisable to guide your client during the selection process, so that he or she can choose lamps in an aesthetic harmony with the furnishing of outdoor spaces (such as gazebos, swimming pools, patios, outdoor kitchens, bars) or simply more in tune with the surrounding environment.
In this way, the entire project will be complete and permeated by a sense of stylistic continuity: a characteristic that will certainly not go unnoticed.
