After a long day, it’s nice to unwind and spend the evening in a gorgeous outdoor living space. One of the best ways to set the mood and relax is through how you light your outdoor area. In fact, lighting can completely transform an outdoor living space and even add a brand new freshness to an existing outdoor structure.. Here’s how lighting can impact your outdoor living and why it is such an important consideration to any outdoor construction project.
Elevate Your Space
Installing lighting that is cohesive to your home’s existing decor can completely elevate your outdoor space. Installing softer lighting around the perimeter of a deck or patio can help frame the area and turn it into the perfect place for evening gatherings. You can also use lighting to showcase elements of your yard that you’d like to show off when the sun goes down.
You can also set up spotlights on beautiful trees that will also illuminate other parts of your yard. Play with shadows to create a unique look and feel to your yard at night. Small post lanterns can illuminate walkways around your property, creating pathways for you to navigate from your home to your outdoor spaces.
If you have a pool or other water feature, you can use different lighting to illuminate the water and turn it into a truly unique feature. Customizing your outdoor lighting to match the aesthetic of your home will elevate your outdoor spaces and help you enjoy a flexible indoor/outdoor lifestyle at all hours of the day.
Safety and Security
When installing lighting around your home, you aren’t only creating intrigue and detail but also adding an extra layer of security to your property. Automatic wall lights will turn on when there are sudden movements, helping you avoid any potential run-ins with unwanted animals or intruders. Having lights around your home will also deter any intruders from trying to step onto your property in the first place. Lighting around your home not only offers protection, it also makes your property safer when people are around enjoying an evening outside. Adding post lanterns around walkways and driveways andat the end of handrails in entryways makes them safer to navigate after the sun goes down.
Curb Appeal
Outdoor lighting doesn’t just look great while you’re enjoying it, but can make your house look more appealing to others. You may not be trying to sell your home, but adding outdoor lighting can increase your property value. Seeing a gorgeous home lit up at night is something most potential homeowners will remember. It’s also a great way to greet guests and welcome them into your home before they even turn into the driveway.
