9. Wall-Mounted Silhouette Sconces
Use the courtyard walls to reflect light. Sconces that cast light both up and down create a high-end architectural look, making the walls disappear into the darkness, which expands the perceived size of the courtyard.
How to make it: Install wall sconces every 6 to 8 feet along the perimeter walls of your courtyard. Use warm-toned bulbs (2700K) for a cozy feel.
Ingredients needed: Exterior-rated up/down wall sconces, weather-resistant mounting hardware, warm white LED bulbs.
