Many homeowners think of their yard as an oasis. The combination of trees, bushes, plants, and flowers combine to create a beautiful, relaxing space.
But what about the exterior lighting on your property? Chances are that it consists of a traditional porch light (or floodlight) and maybe a lamppost. However, nearly every homeowner wishes they could brighten up their outdoor area in a more modern way.
Here are some landscaping lighting ideas to consider, according to HGTV:
Low Voltage Lights
Line voltage systems used to be the lighting of choice for homeowners. That’s not the case anymore, though, as people are making the switch to low-voltage lights. These systems can be installed in a day and use one-third the energy of a traditional 12-volt security lighting system.
Maybe you’re thinking, “I just don’t want to be changing bulbs all the time.” Fortunate, today’s new systems operate with energy-efficient LED lights. Low voltage lights are also incredibly easy to move whenever you’re ready for a new look.
Path Lights
Do you find it challenging to navigate safely through your yard at night? Then consider creating a path with low fixtures to control glare and enhance the aesthetics. Additional wall lights and tread lights are also effective means to ensure safety.
Accent Lighting
Perhaps you want your landscape lighting to accentuate trees, plants, water features, and certain architecture. If that’s the case, don’t simply purchase a ton of lights and assume you’ll be able to create that desired look. Instead, opt for a few low-voltage fixtures that pivot on a base.
Can-shaped wall lights recessed in hardscaping will even create the illusion of moonlighting. Before you know it, you’ll be spending more time outside with your loved ones.
Security Lighting
Believe it or not, motion sensor floodlights don’t provide the best security. That’s why we recommend lower intensity lighting options. Not only do these fixtures illuminate larger areas of your property with ease, but there’s no blinding light to worry about either.
