Are you looking to showcase your home’s best features? If so, proper landscape lighting installation can make a huge impact. Abulous Lighting works with you throughout the process, helping bring your vision to life. We believe that a well-lit yard can not only enhance curb appeal but also the functionality of your spaces. Our licensed and trained technicians can design an outdoor lighting design that is tailored to align with your home. Let’s explore how lighting can highlight your home’s exterior features to ensure you make informed decisions.

Creating a Focal Point

Strategically installed landscape lighting can create a focal point in your outdoor spaces, bringing the overall design scheme together. You can draw the eye to parts of your landscape that you wish to highlight, making lighting the visual centerpiece. A licensed technician can experiment with different types of fixtures and intensities, helping you find the balance between aesthetics and functionality. Additionally, experts can suggest using adjustable track lighting or spotlights to accentuate architectural detail or create a dramatic illumination that captivates viewers.

Cozy Up Your Outdoor Space

As a homeowner, the type of lighting you choose can have a profound impact on the overall mood and appearance of your interior design. The right lighting fixtures can help transform your space into a haven of serenity and comfort. If you want to achieve a warmer, more welcoming feel, opt for lights with temperatures ranging from 2700K to 3000K, and place them in areas where you want to achieve a cozy ambiance. Also, using soft lighting, like LED candles along walkways or dining areas, can produce a relaxing and intimate atmosphere.

Enhance Usability and Practicality

Another way outdoor lighting can highlight your home’s best features is by improving functionality to support and enhance your daily activities and routines. The best way to ensure your home remains practical and safe is to strategically placing focused lighting fixtures, such as strip lights under kitchen cabinets or path lights, providing direct illumination for specific activities like cooking and safe navigation. You can also install automatic switch lights or motion-sensor LED lights that activate automatically upon opening or closing doors. Before investing in outdoor lighting fixtures, it is essential to consult a professional technician for guidance and a tailored design that aligns with your needs.

Set the Mood and Create an Ambiance

Did you know that lighting has the power to evoke different emotions? By strategically installing lighting fixtures, you can create the desired mood for different occasions. If you want a gentle, inviting glow, replace harsh overhead fixtures with soft sources, such as wall sconces, especially in areas where you want to unwind. For entertainment areas, installing bright and cool-toned spotlights or track lighting in vibrant shades accompanied by LED lights can create a lively and dynamic environment.

Accentuate Lines and Textures

Sometimes, lights can be used to highlight textures in your home’s exterior design, elevating its aesthetic appeal and making your home more stunning. One of the design ideas professionals can recommend to achieve your desired look is placing fixtures close to a wall and directing the light vertically to create a grazing effect. This is ideal for textured surfaces, such as exposed brick, textured wallpaper, or stone.

The reality about landscape lighting installation is that it can significantly impact the appearance and ambiance of your home when done correctly. By understanding the different lighting options and their effects, you can make the most of your investment and achieve results that reflect your personal style and preferences.

Absolute Lighting installed my outdoor flood lights 2 years ago and they are beautiful! They did such a great job that I used them to setup and take down the Christmas lights for the past 2 years. I would highly recommend them. Frank always responds to questions and automatically puts me on the schedule for set up and take down of the Christmas Lights.

Frank and the team at Abulous were great to work with. They came out and retro-upgraded some previous lighting that we had done a few years back and made it look as seamless and continuous as possible. They also worked with us on the best (& most economical) way to light up a hard to reach area of our yard. They also followed up with us after we had another group of workers "disturb" some of the lighting wires and came back out and fixed everything back up again. Very friendly, dependable local resource who do great work. Highly recommend.

After reviewing multiple companies we contracted with Abilous Lighting to create outside accent lighting for our home, backyard patio, walkways, & fire pit.  Their ideas and design were the best!   It was a pleasure working with Frank Hasty, who did  the design, and his crew of Brandon & Rusty who performed the work.  All were excellent to work with.   We are very happy with Abulous Lighting.
