How to Use Black Garden Wall Lights to Kick Start Your Garden Design
It might seem strange to have a whole article on black garden wall lights, and perhaps it is, however what kick started this article was a themed garden at this years Hampton Court Palace Garden Show.
The obviously very talented garden designer had created a garden based purely on colour, and not the easiest colours at that, she chose purple, green, and black! Another designer at the same show had also chosen a colour theme for her show garden, this time, black, white, and green.
The black, white, and green gardener had, in fact, used stainless steel wall lights; however the creator of the purple garden had, in fact, used black wall lights – and black uplighters and downlighters too. In fact, all the garden lights used were black. It sounds rather sombre, doesn’t it, but sombre could never be used to describe the final effect, which was ethereal with a touch of whimsy.
The planting for this garden was inspired, even though none of the plants were in any way unusual – black grasses mingled with purple alliums, and black phyllostachys cosied up to tulips so deeply purple that they might almost be described as black.
The point is, by taking something as simple as a black garden wall light as your inspiration, a wonderful result with seemingly little to do with that original black wall light can result. Now, who would have thought of humble garden wall lights inspiring something so magical?
Go on, dare you, take a black garden wall light and see where it takes you!
