Maybe even more than warm conversation and a friendly visitor, outdoor lighting can create a special ambience in your outdoor living space. The atmosphere of almost every environment is strongly influenced by the lighting. Your deck, patio, pool, pavilion, gazebo, and gardens aren’t any different. For the best combination of natural and artificial lighting, imagine additional outdoor lighting alongside your new outdoor fireplace in your Lynnfield, MA, landscape.
Lights Add Romance
Dim lighting around the deck or patio can create an elegant, romantic vibe. If you are looking to impress a new love interest or spark a flame with your spouse of 30 years, a glass of wine, some soft music, and a dimly lit backyard by the sound of flickering flames is the way to do it. Complemented by the fire feature could be recessed lights that fit your unique setting and bring some subtle spice to your nights. Lights along the walkway leading to your outdoor fireplace/patio leads an inviting path to where your late-night snack and drinks await.
Smart Lights for Unique Perspective
Smart lights of varying brightness and colors can be added to a backyard walkway to create a fun and luxurious evening stroll. As you wind your way through your own personal Eden, you can control the mood of the lit-up areas around your statue, water fountain, waterfall, or paver patio. The special placement of outdoor lights that perfectly complement bushes and flowers can provide you with a completely different perspective of your own property after the sun goes down. You can control the entire vibe and timing with your smartphone.
Motion Lights for Safety
You may want to add the ability to have motion lights when you are not home for safety purposes as part of your overall outdoor lighting strategy. These too can be controlled by your smartphone even when you are not home. Motion-activated flood lights can be deactivated by a switch while you’re out entertaining and enjoying your property. You’ll want that same switch to be activated when you’re not home or while you’re asleep. It could be the difference of scaring a would-be burglar away. Or it could make the neighbor’s pesky cat think twice about digging in your flower bed again!
Highlight Your Landscape’s Focal Point
Whether the focal point of your landscape is the outdoor fireplace, the patio, the water fountain, or something uniquely special, such as a flag pole, your outdoor lighting plan can bring the attention to exactly where you want it to be. There is perhaps no better way to draw attention to whatever it is you want to admire night after night than strategically placed lights. Uplights can bring out the texture of a stone feature or the beauty of a favorite tree’s bark, for example.
Holiday Fun
Color changing lights that supplement your property can introduce some holiday fun into your patio, deck, and gardens. LED lights can make this lighting option possible, whether you want a colorful glow during the holidays or a patriotic spirit during other times of the year.
