A well-maintained gazebo is not only benches with a table under the roof. Lighting makes it possible to comfortably sit here in the dark: gather the whole family at the samovar, arrange a dinner party or just sit with a book in nature

Lighting recommendations

When choosing a lighting option, you need to take into account the lighting created on the site and the purpose of the gazebo. If you just want to mark the building and decorate the territory, it is recommended to arrange lighting with a directional spotlight at the entrance or in another convenient place, highlighting the outlines. You can run point lights around the edge of the cornice. Fiber backing helps to create a beautiful silhouette, especially if the structure has an original shape.

If you need a bright light source, you need to hang the lampshade directly under the roof above the table or create a multi-level complex. It is recommended to use a switch with a voltage regulator relay. Several lighting modes will help to avoid the contrast of light and shade, increase functionality, for example: active studies, reading, relaxation, romantic evening.

There are basic rules: do not use white light bulbs. Cold color kills the naturalness of nature. When buying energy-saving lamps, choose a warm tone on the label. Built-in lampshades must have a matte surface and give diffused light, otherwise the contrast of light changes will be tiring for the eyes. For standard gazebos, 60-75 watts are always sufficient.

We make lamps ourselves

In the evening, original lamps will help transform the interior of the gazebo, create a kind of design charm. The positive moment of independent creativity is the choice of the right size, decorating material and shape. You can use everything to create an exclusive: old dishes, parts from broken table lamps and floor lamps, glass jars, bottles, household utensils, plastic items, car parts, etc. After pruning trees, there is a lot of interesting material for creativity, you can also find amazing shapes while walking through the woods.

Branches lampshade

To work, you need to stock up on small branches, preferably with smooth bends and a non-standard look. You will need a pruner, a rubber ball or balloon, glue, an electric cartridge, a lamp.

According to the selected size, you need to inflate the ball or find the corresponding ball. Place prepared branches on the surface coated with glue, leaving a hole for the cartridge on top. When laying out the material, it is better to make a chaotic overlap. If necessary, add glue to the joints. You choose the density of application yourself.

After drying, remove the inner support, equip the place for fixing the cartridge. If desired, the branches can be replaced with twine, threads, ropes, rags. For ease of application, you can mark the future hole for fastening on the ball with a marker and wrap it according to the contour. If necessary, leave an open space at the bottom and carry out work without leaving the allocated lanes.

Lamps from old dishes

An unnecessary pot is ideal for a shade. The size and shape is chosen according to the source material, you can also use a bowl, milk concrete. You will need a drill, a hacksaw for metal, drills of different diameters, a cartridge, a lamp. It is better to draw up a sketch in advance: draw a pattern, geometric shapes, create rows, etc.

The main work is reduced to drilling holes. Handles are cut off on the selected dish and a network of future holes of different sizes is drawn. Further, with the help of a drill, holes of the selected size are made according to the pattern.

The holder can be fixed in the open side with a wire or turned upside down, make a hole for the lamp to enter. The finished product needs to be painted - it is more convenient to use a spray can. Such a shade always looks impressive, and in motion creates a play of light rays.

Variants of lamps made of a sieve, a colander, several lines, arranged vertically, look interesting. If you connect two colanders with cut off handles with a wire, you get a rounded closed shade, which can always be supplemented with any elements inserted into the holes (buttons, jewelry, plastic toys, etc.). A fantasy game will allow you to connect several objects, like a chandelier with several horns.
