Nothing refreshes the look of your home like new outdoor lighting fixtures. Outdoor lighting for porches, patios and landscape areas are a great way to boost curb appeal.
Here are 3 outdoor lighting styles that will help you boost the curb appeal of your home:
1. Outdoor Wall Lights
Beautify your outdoors after the sun goes down with stunning outdoor wall lights. Installed on your patio, front porch and entryway, or in any other high-traffic outdoor areas, these fixtures are an essential part of your exterior lighting scheme. The added evening illumination allows you to enjoy your property after dark while making sure you and your home are safe and secure.
2. Home Security Lighting
If you're looking to improve safety and your ability to monitor your property at night, home security outdoor lighting is absolutely essential. Designed with such features as timers, motion sensors or detectors and tamper-proof features to trip the lights on when needed, these fixtures are a very effective preventative measure against intrusions and burglary.
3. Landscape Lighting
Add landscape lighting to highlight both your landscaping and your home's architecture. Landscape lighting acts as an added security measure as well.
Attractive pathway lighting helps light the way to your front door or through a garden and keeps people out of your flower beds! If you don't want to hard wire path lights, there are solar options available.
You can also use landscape lighting to illuminate dark corners of your lawn as a security feature. Low voltage landscape lighting kits are a great do-it-yourself project and they come with everything you need to give your outdoor space a brand new look.
There are numerous energy-efficient outdoor LED lighting styles available for all three lighting types we discussed above. Although the initial cost is a bit higher (although the cost of LED fixtures is starting to come down) the energy savings is well worth the investment.
We realize that there are many outdoor lighting options from which to choose, so while you are designing your outdoor lighting scheme you should definitely keep these 3 outdoor lighting categories in mind to boost the curb appeal of your home.
