Nowadays homeowners want to maximise their gardens and create total synergy between inside and outside spaces. ‘Garden living’ as this trend has been dubbed, is fast growing in popularity, calling for a fresh approach to outdoor décor and lighting in particular.
The new ranges of contemporary EGLO outdoor light fittings allow you to effectively extend your living room into the garden. “These are outdoor lamps featuring unique designs in weather proof materials,” comments Eben Kruger, marketing manager at Eurolux – sole importer and distributor of the EGLO range in SA. With the main focus of the range being on floor lamps, he adds: “At first it might sound unusual to put a floor lamp in a garden or on a patio, but the right lamp can truly compliment and enhance your outdoor spaces, and this EGLO range includes something for all tastes.”
The attractive Lorena outdoor floor lamp has an antique brown finish and a basket weave look, ideal for decorating terraces, patios and gardens. “Due to its elegant and striking design, this floor lamp can hold it own in gardens of any shape and size, or become an attractive feature on a patio, whilst being able to weather the elements,” says Kruger.
The globe shaped Ferroterra decorative garden lamp features an unusual, yet striking metal ring design and comes in a black/silver or clear silver finish. “This is a sturdy design that can survive the rough and tumble of an active household, a product that is able to withstand accidental knocks by dogs or kids,” assures Kruger.
The Rocker features a similar design to the Ferroterra but is a wall lamp that is available in either an aluminium or rust finish. Kruger says many people believe that you must have a large porch or terrace before it is worth going to the expense of fitting outdoor lamps. “But any garden or outdoor space can become an impressive entertainment area if you fit an outdoor wall lamp such as this one, and it will cost a lot less than you think.”
EGLO’s Progressive low energy, outdoor cube floor lamp comes with a red, blue and green cup to place over the bulb, thus creating different lighting effects and appealing to individual tastes and décor ranges. This Art Deco lamp has a silver/white finish and will work best in uncluttered spaces where it can attract the attention this striking design deserves.
“There is no doubt that these EGLO lamps are not merely functional lights, but artistic pieces in their own right. Within homes, floor lamps have long been vital décor items adding flair and ambiance to a room, so why should outdoor lamps be any different?” concludes Kruger.
