How Can Outdoor Lighting Increase Curb Appeal?

It’s time to enhance your curb appeal!

You’ve tidied your yard, made a beautiful flower garden, refinished your driveway, and even created a sweet accent door. Your home is still looking a bit drab, though. What can you do for that extra “wow” factor?

Have you considered improving your outdoor lighting?

We’re here to talk about a few ways that you can use outdoor lighting to improve the look of your home. Read on to learn more.

Using Light and Shadow for a Unique Effect

If you want your yard to look truly unique, consider using landscape lighting to create harsh shadows and bright lights in strategic areas. This creates a dramatic look that’s sure to be eyecatching.

This is a great idea if you don’t have any unique structures or features on your lawn. You’re not using light to highlight specific areas. The light itself is the decorative element.

Highlighting Special Areas

If you do have special features that you’d like to highlight, landscape lighting is a great way to do that.

Put outdoor lights around all of your favorite parts of the yard. Do you love the way that your entryway looks from the curb? Bring it to life with outdoor lighting!

Did you work hard on your garden? Place lights either over or around it so it’s visible even when the sun goes down.

Small seating areas are also great places for outdoor lighting. If you have a patio, use a few lights to show it off (and make it a better and safer place to sit late at night).

A company like Long View Lighting can help you find the perfect areas to highlight.

A Moonlight Effect

If you want a subtle way to incorporate lighting, why not use soft lights to create a moonlight effect on your lawn?

Have lights coming from underneath your roof and your trees so they shine down onto your yard.

Use a cool-toned light to mimic the light of the moon. This gives your yard a “whimsical” look.

A Well-Lit Path

What if you don’t want to light your entire yard? You can keep your outside lights subtle by creating a path with them.

Do you have a garden path that leads from your front yard to your backyard? Put a trail of lights, or better yet, a lit trellis to lead guests.

For a simple (but effective) look, have lights pave the way from your driveway to the front door. This enhances safety and gives a great visual effect.

Improve Your Curb Appeal with Outdoor Lighting

Even a few small outdoor lights can make a big difference to your curb appeal.

Use landscape lighting to your advantage by highlighting areas of interest, creating paths, and creating patterns of light and shadow. Your home’s exterior will look great!
