Meet Me under the Garden Lamp Post at Midnight
Just imagine the excitement you could regain from your partnership by simply putting a lamppost in your garden! Well, okay, maybe not, but it’s a good thought nonetheless.
The point is, lampposts have moved on from being a boring piece of street furniture to become something rather more aspirational, certainly in terms of garden furnishings and lighting. The practicality of modern materials mean that there’s a whole raft of garden lamp posts from which to choose, including Victorian lampposts that won’t kill you if they fall on you, as the originals would certainly have done.
Close your eyes for a moment and imagine trudging home from a long day at work or an expensive day at the shops. As you round the corner you see your house, the lamp post acting like a welcoming beacon you are home.
If you think I’m over romanticising something that is quite prosaic, perhaps I am but my romantic imagination could actually become your reality.
Garden lighting adds the final panache to any garden design, and they are no longer the province of the landed gentry. It is now recognised that well planned, quality garden lighting doesn’t just enhance the beauty of your house, it actually increases the value of your property. In these dismal, credit crunched times, that has to be a good thing, doesn’t it?
From a practical point of view, a modern garden lamp post doesn’t have to be unwieldy or impractically heavy; you can even get the look of Victorian cast iron at a fraction of the weight and cost, of course!
What other item can enhance your home security, provide somewhere for a romantic assignation, and provide a welcoming beacon at the end of the day. Transform your outdoor space and, who knows, you might transform your marriage as well.
Let’s face it, from that point of view, garden lampposts aren’t just aspirational garden accessories, they’re relationship essentials.
