Architectural Lighting

Showcasing the beauty of your home

There are likely many aspects of your home that make it special to you. The stone facade, trim work, or maybe even the columns on your front porch are details that you love but can’t enjoy in the evening hours. 

This is where architectural lighting comes into play. Not only can outdoor architectural lighting help you to accent some of the beautiful features of your home, but it can create a truly unique by uplighting or downlighting certain elements and so much more.

 

Architectural Design Ideas

With the right architectural lighting partner, your home can be brought to life while others disappear into the night. There are so many different ways to highlight the unique architectural features that make a home your own. Here are just some architectural design ideas that can be utilized by an expert.

  • Wash Lights: Wash lights are a wonderful way to accent a wall and give more depth to your home. Wash lights provide soft light for walls and larger areas of architecture. They make a great alternative when floodlights are too harsh. 
  • Bullet Lights: These lights cast narrower light beams as compared to other types and can be used to highlight columns on a front porch or to showcase a statue or some other feature of the home.
  • Downlights: Downlighting can also be used to light up a driveway or to showcase a feature like a fountain or a large urn with flowers.


The key is to work with an architectural lighting expert that won’t limit you to a couple of lights or techniques that they are comfortable or familiar with doing. You deserve to have all of the options so that you can get the most out of your home—day and night.
