Ambiance, Security and Curb Appeal

Outdoor lighting boosts the beauty of your home and its value in ways you wouldn’t imagine during the daytime.  It adds ambiance, security and curb appeal.

The front entryway is the transition between outside and inside. Create a welcoming appeal by lighting which provides ambiance and safety.  Consideration on lighting up the address marker should also be considered.

When you think about your home and what gives it character or makes it unique? Does your home have architectural details like chimneys, columns, or peaks? Using up lights on stone or brick will create unique and interesting shadows. With well-planned lighting around your property, the features of your home will look even more beautiful and pronounced during the evening hours.

Lights that travel from the ground up, it’s naturally appealing and draw attention. We recommend the use of up lights the roof line and gables. You’d be amazed how a little lighting can have a significant impact on your home’s exterior beauty when your properly planned and executed.

A recent project in Inwood is a great example of creating curb appeal.  The up lighting on the front façade of the home washes the house in light highlighting its architectural features.

The downlights from the beautiful trees provide just the right amount of light for ambiance and safety as you walk to the front door.  The up lights on the Crape Myrtle trees open up the yard and showcase the span of this property.  The additional down lights create a dramatic moon lighting effect across the lawn.

An area often overlooked by homeowners when adding outdoor lights is the area around the garage and driveway.  This is usually the way most homeowners come in and out of their home and yet it can be darkest place on the property!  The down lighting from these tall Oak trees provide a perfect amount of light to welcome you home and safely traverse the driveway and into the garage.  The shadows created by the trees create such a magical ambiance!
