Illuminate Your Home’s Exterior

How we see our homes from their exterior is important, yet many homeowners fail to realize the value that curb appeal gives to their home. We tend to light up the spaces in which we spend the most time, and for the exterior of our homes, that can mean porches and patios can garner all of our attention. 

Exterior Lighting Is Important For Homes
But lighting the exterior of our homes can create ambiance and breathe new life into our homes, giving our properties updated and modern looks that increase our property value as well as add to our enjoyment of our homes. However, understanding what features to highlight and how to highlight them is important in bringing out the best in our homes without breaking our budgets. 

Safety And Security
Lighting doorways and walkways are essential to safety, including porches and decking and sidewalks leading up to front and back entrances. The use of spotlights designating these areas is beneficial to increase safety from falls and in warding off criminal activity. These lights can be set to trigger a motion sensor in order to save energy throughout the night. However, it is a good idea to keep a door or porch light on all night

Entertaining and Ambiance
Many people choose to light up areas on their properties such as decking, patios, pools, and other buildings or gathering areas that are used frequently. Having lights in areas of entertainment are beneficial in that not only do they create an ambiance, but they also provide the light that is necessary to see in the areas that people frequent after the sun has gone down.
