4 Questions to Ask When Designing Landscape Lighting

1. What is the style of my home? If your home has a modern design, stick to sleek and simplistic outdoor lighting. If your home has a more traditional style, find outdoor lighting that matches the style of your home.
2. What color fixtures will match the house? Choose warm or cool tones, brushed metal or metallic, and decide whether the fixtures will be plain or painted metal.
3. Where do I need more light in the landscape? Consider which areas of the yard have tripping hazards, which places may be security risks, and which landscape features you’d like to emphasize.
4. How can I be energy efficient? Homeowners can conserve energy (and decrease their monthly bills) by using lighting timers, choosing LED landscape lighting, and being judicious when designing their exterior lighting.
