Your custom home can shine bright inside and out through exquisite exterior lighting.
Home exterior lights make it possible to see your house at night, secure your home, and make it easier to see around your entrance and outdoor living spaces. If you build a custom home on the Maryland waterfront with Shore-Line Construction, you will certainly want to spend time outdoors well into the evening. Check out these home exterior lighting ideas to see what might work for your home.
1. Uplights
Uplights are outdoor lights that point upward, as the name would suggest. They are excellent for illuminating the house at night without causing light pollution inside the house. They can also highlight landscaping features, such as ornamental shrubs, grasses, or trees. Uplights add to your home’s curb appeal and security.
2. Downlights
Downlights are usually positioned below the eaves of houses and illuminate garage doors, the home’s exterior surfaces, and sometimes outdoor living spaces like decks, patios, and balconies. Downlights provide a discreet way to light your home beautifully.
3. Wall Lights
Wall sconces, lanterns, and other exterior lights also come in handy, particularly for exterior entrances and backyard living areas. With so many choices, there is a wall light style that will fit any house, even a nautical waterfront home, a contemporary house, or a rustic cottage.
4. Spotlights
Spotlights highlight specific features. They especially help to illuminate sculptures, plants, outdoor shade structures, or other monumental features around a house. While they might not be intended for lighting up specific traffic areas, they do help and can add significant charm to your home.
5. LED Rope Lights
The most recent home exterior lighting options use LED technology for the cost and energy savings they provide. LED rope lights are literal ropes of lights that you can attach along edges of your house, such as under gables, path steps, along rooflines, and around exterior stair railings.
Do any of these home exterior lighting ideas spark your imagination?
