Garden lamps may not be important thing. But from its function, the light can create interesting atmosphere in your garden.

Designing a garden lighting requires fidelty and imagination. Special expertise is not needed, unless you want to arrange garden lights with high difficulty level.

It is classified as difficult, if the number of light points was more than three, or if the garden area was very large and need many lighting angles.

For a small garden, garden lighting can be done by yourself. The most important of the arrangement of light in a small park is the choice of lighting, security, cabling installation, and determine the point you want to lit.

Use low voltage lamp
For outdoor purposes such as garden, use lights and house lights with water resistant specifications. The types of lamp can be incandescent or phosphorescence lamp. Lamp and house lamp are usually made with particular specification, so resistant to splashes of water and therefore not easily shorted.

There are Garden lighting devices with low voltage (12 volts) and high voltage (220volt). The best choice depends on the needs. For security reasons, you should select the garden lighting device with low voltage, especially if the lights will be placed in the water. This prevents a fatal accident if there is current leakage.

Can you believe it if the park was able to generate inspiration? Try practicing these things, you are guaranteed a fresh mind and creative.

Park did not have to be placed in front of the house. Parks can be made anywhere there is open area. Surrounding area must be refreshed. However, after waking the garden, do not waste their existence and let unkempt.

If you are caring for a little lazy or do not have much time to it, when building a garden, select plants that do not require special treatment. For example, wild grass that does not need to be given fertilizer or watering every day, as seen in the picture. Although the wild but still beautiful right?

Seemed to be more beneficial, facilitating the park with a terrace equipped with comfortable seating. Low table coffee table alias may also be placed as a relaxing place to read while drinking coffee.

Sempatkan myself to just sit there every morning to restore energy to be ready to face the next activity. Breathe the cool morning air to calm the mind. Able to sit back or do a light stretch in front of the green expanse of the park.

Trust me, inspiration can come from such a simple activity. In fact, a designer Nendo products from Japan, Oki Sato, design inspiration comes admitted from things he sees every day. According to him, “Designers see what nobody else sees.”

We try to see what is usually invisible. Everything can be started from sitting leisurely in the park.
