Tips On Outdoor Lighting Applications

The exterior of your home makes the first impression and sets the tone for your property. Therefore, getting outdoor lighting right is crucial, as it enhances your home’s aesthetics and plays a significant role in safety and functionality.

Tip 1: Front Entry

Front entrance lighting serves a dual purpose: making your entrance inviting and keeping it safe. To achieve an appealing look, consider wall sconces sized at a quarter to a third the size of your front door. Additionally, you can use ceiling lights such as recessed lighting or pendants to add more charm.

Tip 2: Garage/Driveway Illumination

Ensuring safety and aesthetics for your garage and driveway is essential. When planning, choose wall sconces that match a quarter to a third the height of your garage door, or opt for a single central light above the door. Another consideration is using lights with photocells that automatically adjust with daylight.
