Taking the time to make wise decisions about your outdoor lighting will help ensure that you get the full value out of your investment. If you’re looking for landscape lighting ideas and wondering which spaces make the most sense to light up, then we’re here to help.
These are some of the top requested outdoor lighting spaces this year. Since spending time outside will never go out of style, lighting those spaces makes a lot of sense.
In no particular order, here are some of the top requests that we get.
Outdoor kitchens are all the rage so it’s no surprise that Memphis homeowners want to add light to these areas. In fact, a lot of homeowners tell us that they use these spaces more at night than at any other time.
This makes a lot of sense as people love cooking on the grill for dinner. But they’re often looking to continue to enjoy these spaces, even after the sun goes down.
Features like under-counter lighting, task lighting, and overhead lighting can make outdoor kitchens much more functional (and enjoyable)! It’s a great way to maximize the use and value of your kitchen.
Homeowners love spending time on their patio and they don’t want to go inside just because it’s gotten dark out. That’s why investing in patio lighting makes a lot of sense. Adding lights to your patio means that you can now enjoy the space after work or on weekend nights.
Entertaining on the patio just got a whole lot more fun!
Of course, most people aren’t just looking for a few boring lights to illuminate their patio. When it comes to the top lighting trends of 2023, we’re getting a lot of requests for patio lights that include features like wireless control, color-changing abilities, and niche applications.
If you have an existing pool (or are having one installed), then you’re probably looking to enjoy that space to the fullest. Pools are no small investment and you want to use it as much as possible.
That’s why pool lighting has become a top request for outdoor lighting spaces. A pool is often the center of an outdoor living area and a space that people want to enjoy whether they’re physically in the pool or not.
Lighting up water features, illuminating the landscape, adding tiki torches, and lighting up the surrounding area are all ways to make your pool area more functional and more enjoyable.
Our first three spaces were focused on backyard lighting. While the increase in requests for backyard lighting is not surprising (it’s on par with the “outdoor living trends”), front yard lighting for curb appeal and safety is still as important as ever.
Incorporating architectural lighting to illuminate your home and adding landscape lighting to show off your trees and shrubs still makes a tremendous amount of sense when it comes to maintaining your home’s value. Nothing quite boosts the curb appeal of a property like outdoor lighting.
Along with that, there’s a highly functional purpose to front yard lighting, too. It absolutely increases the safety and security of your property. A well-lit home not only looks occupied (even when you aren’t actually home), but it would also put a trespasser or thief on display if they did try to enter your property.
You’re also making your property safer by making it easier to navigate. When people can see where they’re going, they are much less likely to fall during the nighttime hours.
For these reasons, front-of-the-home lighting remains a top outdoor lighting trend.
Whether it’s one of these spaces or somewhere else on your property, the fact is that outdoor lighting will help you enjoy your home more fully. This is why it’s so important to choose the best outdoor lighting company to tackle lighting your spaces.
