Landscape Lighting Accentuates Your Outdoor Spaces
Landscape lighting accents the spaces you create outdoors, adding a depth that improves their value for little money. Landscaping is not just about where you place plants or garden structures. It’s about finding a balance between hard and soft, and light and dark. Landscape lighting picks up where natural lighting leaves off in design and aesthetics.
Lighting can also be used to add dimensions and texture to your outdoor design. The degree in which light is displayed can be soft or harsh, just as the use of lights to outline a path can create a formal or whimsical look. Unfortunately, poorly used lighting can also work against your plans. Nothing breaks up a pleasant evening like a huge glaring light that is shining in your eyes.
Using lighting in landscape design takes some practice, but the results can be amazing. We spend thousands of dollars each year going on vacations, but we could invest a fraction of the expense into landscaping and create vacation spots right in our own backyards. Space is about usage, so how can lighting improve the use of your yard?
Imagine little sitting corners where you can read and relax. Imagine designing a romantic spot where you and a significant other can sit and talk, laugh, and enjoy each other’s company. Consider creating nooks in your garden that offer the glow of candlelight, or use lights to safely line a path to your home.
Landscape lighting is amazing and versatile. It adds emotion to a setting, and lets you direct how the ambiance unfolds. If you would like more information about how outdoor lighting can make or break your landscape design, then contact us online today.
