Garden lighting can be magical. Since people cannot see very well in the dark, steps and uneven surfaces can also become dangerous if they are not well lit. With the right lighting, you can turn potential hazards into attractive design features. We offer 20 outdoor staircase lighting ideas that show safety and beauty can go hand in hand.
Outdoor staircase lighting – on the wall or in the floor?
Ideally, you should provide enough lighting on or near stairs and paths so they are safe, but not so much that your garden resembles a parking lot. One good idea is to install a long series of recessed lights in the wall or along the steps. It is even better if the stair lights create interesting lighting effects.
Plan outdoor staircase lighting
If you have stairs at home or in the garden, think about lighting options early. Many stair lights are designed to illuminate exterior passages and steps. Whether they are for the entrance, the garden terrace, a path through the garden, or decorative purposes, they come in different colors, styles, and designs. Consider whether wall-mounted or floor-mounted fixtures are the better choice. Round, square, or rectangular recessed lights are almost invisible and will not disturb the overall appearance of the stairs. For a decorative effect, you can also choose stair lights with different light colors.
