7. Illuminated Planter Boxes
Surround your pool with light. Using large, illuminated planters adds a vertical element to your lighting scheme and softens the hard edges of a courtyard.
How to make it: Purchase planters with built-in LED bases or place battery-operated puck lights beneath decorative plants in clear or translucent pots.
Ingredients needed: LED-integrated planters or standard large planters with waterproof LED light rings, outdoor-safe potting soil, tropical plants (like palms or bird of paradise).
