Enhance home’s facade with lighting

When it comes to home design, lighting can make all the difference. Not only can it help create an inviting ambiance but it can also be used to highlight the exterior of your home and add a touch of pizzazz to your facade.

The most popular types of lights for home facades are up lights which provide a warm light that is perfect for accenting architectural features like columns or stonework.  Another option is down lighting from the eaves or columns of your home down onto the front facade.  This is a great option for homes that don’t have landscape beds around the front of the house to place up lights in or for homes with plants that would be in the way of the fixture and the home.

When deciding on where to place lights on your property’s facade, there are several factors to consider such as architecture and landscaping. Identify any key elements on the front of your house that you want to highlight such as entryways or walkways then choose appropriate lighting fixtures accordingly. Keep in mind that well-placed lighting will draw attention away from any flaws so don’t be afraid to experiment with different placements until you find something that works with your home’s aesthetic.

Lighting up your home’s facade can really help bring out its best features while adding a touch of style and personality at the same time.  There is no shortage of options when it comes to illuminating the exterior of your house!
