Adding Appeal to Your House Exterior Lighting

Adding Appeal to Your House Exterior Lighting

Well Curb Appeal is one of the most important things in today’s society, if you desire to make you house look beautiful during the evenings and the night. There are plenty of options available at our showroom (Aura Interiors), which can add the spark of life to your home in the evening and make an ordinary house look exceptionally beautiful and stand out from rest of the houses in the neighbourhood.

One thing to remember while installing exterior lights for beautifying your house is that only the portions which can make the house look more beautiful and pleasing to the eyes should be highlighted. Or else, lighting the entire exterior of the house would make it look like a circus. If you don’t know how this is done, then we are here to help you out.

There are basically two types of lights which are used for the illumination of the house from the outside. These are the up-lights which as the word suggests are the lights used for lighting the trees, shrubs and other structures or the walls of the house. The other ones used are called the path lighting, which are used to illuminate the walkways or paths to your home or around your house.

The most important thing to remember while installing these lights is that the person doing it should be qualified for the job, otherwise the risk of tripping and electrocution will always be there. You might even need a transformer to convert power transmission as suitable for LED lightings. Now, some little tips for exterior, curb appeal lighting.

1. Highlight the trees and shrubs

The best way to make the exterior of your house appealing during the evenings can be achieved by using the lighting to highlight most of the landscaping elements. If you have got some hedges, flowers or trees. You may use spotlights or landscaping lights to bring those areas into full glory in the evenings. Depending upon the lighting colors, you can create a wonderful paradise for yourself and your neighbours. The use of dull lighting on the shrubs and a little brightness on the trees would make a contrasting difference in the appearance of your house.

2. Good perimeter lighting

Almost, all homes have standard lighting on the garage doors and front door of the house. You can make your home driveway and entrance even better by installing side lights which will give your home a more inviting appeal. People always feel safe and welcomed to a house which is well lit. So, make sure that your house perimeter is well lit for people to get a good vibe from your house.

3. Upgrade lighting fixtures

What makes a house appealing are the little details. It is rightly said that beauty lies in the details of an artwork. Your house is also a work of art which has been put together by the designer, builders, decorators and you above all. If your house has poor lighting and lighting fixtures, then all the efforts in making it are wasted. You can create a pleasing visual attraction by simply upgrading your lighting fixtures. When doing so, you can always relay on us at Aura Interiors to provide you with the best quality products and services.

4. Line the driveway/walkways

Some curb appeal can be achieved by simply adding rope lighting. This type of lighting sits in-between the cement and grass which is not visible unless searched for. These little LED light bulbs can make the walkways appear beautiful while increasing safety so that you can walk without the fear of tripping over etc. These lights also make it safe to walk around or run around the house during the night, giving a mild illumination of the walk ways.
