How to light a dehor: ideas for creating the right atmosphere
What do we mean by "dehor"?
When we speak of a dehor, we mean the outdoor space of a reception facility in which to welcome guests and allow them to enjoy time in the open air. To all intents and purposes it is an extension of the premises, as well as a special point of contact with the surrounding environment. Be it a view of the city skyline or a space immersed in greenery, these spaces can be the pièce de résistance of a structure, if exploited to the full.
Enhancing a dehor also means finding the right means of lighting a customer's table in a functional, elegant way that is consistent with the aesthetics of the venue.
Types of outdoor lighting
As with all aspects of interior design, there is no one-size-fits-all solution for lighting a dehor: each space has its own requirements. Much depends on the style and aesthetics we are trying to create, but also on the dimensions of the space available.LED lights are ideal for providing perfect illumination in every context and are applicable on both pergolas with blade coverage and on a Pergotenda®.
With the latter, the Experience system is a practical and versatile option for adding brightness to one's space. Featuring elegant and discreet design, this lighting kit is designed to be inserted on the windbreak tubes of a Pergotenda® canvas.
Another elegant solution to enhance your space is Ray, a lighting fixture that can be installed along the gutters of the Maestro. Completing the lighting options are high-performance LED lights that can be applied to the blades of bioclimatic pergolas or, for an enveloping and high-impact effect, to the inner perimeter of Imago® or the new Alba Butterfly.
Last but not least, natural light is a resource that can offer additional value that should not be underestimated. Especially in settings surrounded by nature and structures naturally exposed to the sun, daylight may not be sufficient to create the best illumination, but perfect for creating an evocative ambience.
Warm light or cold light: how to choose the right tone
When choosing lighting for your dehor, one of the factors to consider is what tone you want to give the space.
You can opt for warm lighting, perfect for flooding the outdoors with soft, inviting light: an ideal alternative for a restaurant or hotel that wants to offer its guests an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. This type of outdoor lighting also helps to accentuate the details of the décor, while providing a feeling of comfort and relaxation.
On the other hand, for those looking for a minimalist and modern aesthetic, cool lights are ideal: emitting a brighter light, they can be used to give a more sophisticated and refined touch to the ambience.
