So, you’ve made the decision you want to add outdoor lights on your house…but you’re not sure what comes next. At first glance, it might not seem overly complicated. Plenty of companies seem to offer outdoor lighting, so how involved can it really be?
Actually, outdoor lighting is much more involved than people tend to realize. At least it should be if you want professional, high-quality results. The companies that oversimplify outdoor lighting by just throwing a spotlight here or there aren’t delivering the top-notch design you’re looking for.
We’ve put together this outdoor lighting guide so that you can have some idea of the things you should be considering. We understand that without any outdoor lighting experience, you can’t have an idea of what’s important.
Making smart choices now will impact your long-term satisfaction with your finished project. Here are 3 considerations.
The first thing that you should consider when thinking about light outside the house is how you use your space (or, perhaps more importantly, how you WANT to use your space).
Are there things you don’t feel that you can do or enjoy once the sun goes down?
Perhaps you have an awesome patio but the fun has to end once it gets dark. Outdoor patio lighting can be a great way to keep the party going. Or, perhaps you feel like you really struggle to see where you’re going when getting from your driveway to your home.
There are often specific problems that you’re looking to solve with lighting.
The fact is, you want to be able to use and enjoy your yard after dark, and you’ll need the right lighting to achieve this.
Of course, lights aren’t just about functionality. That’s obviously a huge factor, particularly in the backyard.
But many Memphis homeowners are interested in lights for other purposes such as curb appeal and safety. Some of this comes back to what we mentioned above. There might be specific “problems” that you’re looking to solve.
Before getting underway with any light outside the house you want to think about your goals.
In many cases, there is more than one goal. While you might want your backyard patio to be more functional, you may also be looking to boost curb appeal and add safety and security to the front yard.
Whatever the case may be, it’s important that you think through what you’re aiming to achieve. A good lighting designer will ask you questions that will bring this information out.
Getting the results that you’re looking for boils down to making a wise choice among lighting professionals.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of companies offering outdoor lighting services that will just throw together a plan that really isn’t customized to your wants and needs. Even though you might have specific ways that you want to use your property…or specific goals you are trying to achieve. They’ll just put together a plan that is easy for them to install.
This is one of the key reasons why it’s so important to be selective when choosing a landscape lighting company. You want to choose a company that will take your project seriously and delivers the best results, which are customized for your home.
