Well-planned landscape lighting can enhance your home\u2019s appearance, highlighting prized architectural elements while also enabling you to use your outdoor space for longer. And according to one study conducted in partnership with the New York Housing Authority, outdoor lighting leads to reduced crime, deterring potential break-ins and robbery.<\/p>\n
There are many ways to approach landscape lighting for your home; here are four tips that will allow you to get the most out of yours.<\/span><\/p>\n When you\u2019re deciding which sections of your home to light up, consider which features you\u2019ll be able to view from the inside. Lighting up pathways, gardens, and patio spaces can expand how far you can see into your landscape at night, while also creating a more inviting appearance. <\/span><\/p>\n Whether it\u2019s lighting up a pavilion or adding subtle LED lighting to your pool area, landscape lighting can allow you to get more use out of your existing space. A well-lit patio encourages guests to stay over longer on BBQ nights, while subtle lighting along your wrap-around portico porch can create an enticing after-work relaxation area. <\/span><\/p>\n As much as lighting improves the appearance of your home, it also helps maintain a safe and secure environment. Position high-power lighting above doors and driveways and in the back of the home in order to eliminate blind spots. While colorful lighting can be pretty, it\u2019s best to keep to white or clear bulbs for security purposes, since they produce a clearer, less distortive light. Many homeowners today are opting to use motion-sensitive security lighting solutions, which can save you up to 80% in energy costs over time.<\/span><\/p>\n There are actually many lighting techniques you can choose to illuminate your spaces, and a landscape lighting expert can advise you on which make the most sense for your home\u2019s features. Light grazing, for example, is when the lighting is cast close to the building\u2019s surface, helping to highlight both color and texture. When it comes to tonality, cold lighting can help make white hues really pop, while warm lighting can help bring out and complement more subtle brown tones.<\/span><\/p>\n Do you plan on enhancing your property with landscape lighting<\/a>?
