As daylight fades, the right conservatory lighting<\/a> can create a relaxed, warm and inviting space to carry you through into the evening. Whether you use your conservatory as a second living room filled with comforting furnishings or as a place to dine, we will show you the best lighting techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the most popular lighting options for this particular space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some Good Ideas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Wire Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With no reflective surfaces to cast the light back into the room, a good choice for conservatory lighting is spot lighting on a wire system. We stock a range of wire light systems that have adjustable spotlights that can be positioned to highlight areas in your conservatory whilst avoiding glare from light hitting windows. It\u2019s perfect for uneven ceilings too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your conservatory has an even ceiling then it may be worth considering spotlight bars <\/a>with adjustable heads. These can offer a more modern lighting solution and come in a number of different finishes and styles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recessed Spotlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you like to star-gaze at night, it is probably best to avoid uplighters<\/a> in your conservatory. To create real drama why not install recessed spotlights<\/a> along your ceiling beams. Try a directional spotlight such as the Recessed Directional Downlight <\/a>and add striking emphasis to interesting features such as potted plants and ornaments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low Level Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To create a cosy ambience in your conservatory keep the lighting low both in terms of height in the room and brightness. A stylish table lamp<\/a> positioned on a smart oak coffee table or window ledge will add an extra layer of light and texture to the room whilst doubling up as a reading light<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a beautiful piece of lighting with a sleek aesthetic and cosy illumination well suited to a conservatory, take a look at the Brooklyn Glass Table Lamp<\/a>. Mix and match with scatter cushions in co-ordinating fabrics and even a vintage record player to make your conservatory feel like your own private getaway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Floor Lamps<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A couple of soft armchairs with a smart floor lamp<\/a> would be a great option if you are looking for ambient mood lighting in the evenings. A stylish, and contemporary lamp such as the Edit Floor Lamp<\/a> would be an ideal choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chandeliers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Use statement lighting to create a centre piece. If you use your conservatory for dining, what better way to bring an elegant twist to your space than with a stunning chandelier<\/a> positioned above your table. An ornate piece such as the Nina 5 Light Chandelier<\/a> will bring glamour and sophistication to your conservatory lighting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pendant Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you want a traditional setting or a more contemporary vibe, pendant lighting<\/a> will work well in a conservatory suspended from the ceiling. The Edit Rondure Large Ceiling Pendant<\/a> will cast a wide beam of light, reflecting against the textured gold inner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether it\u2019s family photos or exquisite watercolours; attractive pictures are guaranteed to enhance your conservatory d\u00e9cor. Illuminate them without the need for costly wiring with the Medium Slimline Battery Operated LED Picture Light \u2013 Matt Black<\/a>. <\/strong>We have a wide range of picture lights<\/a> in traditional and contemporary style here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Lighting<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can almost be at one with your garden<\/a> when sitting in your conservatory during the day. At night time the vast expanses of black glass can feel oppressive so a good trick is to install some outdoor lighting to draw your eye to the end of your garden. Dot garden stake lights<\/a> in flower beds or use a tile light<\/a> positioned in your brick work. The Searchlight Messina Rectangular LED Ground Light<\/a> will add a wash of light to your outside space and can even be submerged in water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

You really can take your pick of conservatory lighting to reflect your own personal style but don\u2019t forget to consider the size and function of the room. From vintage glamour to minimalist styling we have the lights for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
