4 of our Favourite Pergola Lighting Ideas

A pergola is the perfect way to create a cosy outside area for your customers to enjoy, but installing the frame is only the first step. 

Once you have the structure in place, it’s all about creating the right atmosphere - and choosing the right lighting is a big part of that. 

To help you find the ideal lighting for your outside area, we've put together a collection of our favourite pergola lighting ideas. From LED lighting strips to fire pits, there’s sure to be an idea you'll love.

1. LED Lighting Strips

Sleek and ultra-modern, integrated LED lighting strips are a versatile way of transforming the vibe of your outside space. 

Using a remote control, you can effortlessly switch the lights between a rainbow of colours. From warm white to neon pink, you have the power to pick the mood. 

LED lighting can be built into the frame, louvres, and edges of our aluminium pergolas, ensuring total lighting coverage.

2. Coloured Bulbs 

Invoking warm holiday feelings, string lights can take an outside area from cold to cosy with a flick of a switch. 

In the image featured above, the client has opted to decorate their pergola with a string of multi-coloured light bulbs that emit a funky, yet subtle glow. 

Hang the lights from the ceiling or weave them in and out of a fencing structure to add a touch of quirky fun to your pergola.

3. Firepits 

Who doesn’t love cuddling up in the warm glow of a fire pit? Flickering flames create a cosy, intimate atmosphere for your customers to enjoy year round. 

Many of our clients choose to build a fire pit underneath their pergola so their outdoor area can stay open even in winter months. Combine your firepit with some outdoor fairy lights, and you'll have customers booking your outdoor space weeks in advance.

4. Globe Lamps

With a fun yet understated design, globe lamps can add a contemporary flair to your pergola. Super versatile, they’re perfect for both urban and country settings. 

In the photo above, you can see how one of our clients, renowned luxury hotel The Ned, weaved globe lamps in and out of their pergola roof, filling the empty space above the seating and adding to their high-class atmosphere.
