So how do you create Timeless Outdoor Lighting?

Fixtures that Last

The first part is choosing the right fixtures for your landscape that will last for years to come. To pick a style for your light fixtures, look for fixtures that blend in with your home and landscape. You don’t want your landscape lighting fixtures to stand out during the day – they should blend in until they shine at night!
Another important part of choosing fixtures that are timeless is choosing high-quality fixtures that will span the test of time by working for years to come. You want to look for fixtures that are made of high-quality materials and come with long term manufacturer warranties. Another important part of choosing the fixture is choosing LED fixtures. Landscape Lighting Guru has written about a lot about LED and here are a few of our favorites that discuss the benefits of LED Lighting and how to choose quality LED lighting.

Lighting the Right Places

The second part of creating a timeless outdoor lighting design is choosing the best placement for your lighting fixtures. It is important to light the right places in your home and yard. Focus on lighting the areas where you spend the most time and can enjoy them the most. This is the best way to identifying where your light fixtures will be most appreciated for years to come.
Once you have decided the general areas to focus on, you can look at the features of the space and what type of lighting highlights that the best. There are so many options from down lighting, up lighting, path lighting, wall washing, etc that you may need some advice from the professionals to truly find a lighting design that will be timeless.
