Depending on your budget or the aesthetic of what you’re going for when adding lighting, there are many different ways to change up the look of your home without breaking the bank or bringing too much attention to the outside of your home.
Here are some ways to mix it up and give your home and landscaping a facelift by using different lighting techniques:
1. Walkway lighting
Installing these solar or battery powered lights along your walkway or driveway is an affordable way to elevate the look on your home and also serve great function without bringing too much attention to the front. They retail for $25-50 depending on how many you need and where you get them but they are easy to stake into the ground and outline the walkways leading up to your front door. You can also use them in the backyard if you need extra lighting there too.
2. Exterior spotlights
If you want to show off your home’s features, spotlights can accentuate the exterior of your home at a low cost. You can install a wired system or a battery-powered system with a timer. Around the holidays, this look is very popular especially with color-changing lights for example like during Halloween or Christmas.
3. Fence lighting
Highlighting the perimeter of your property can brighten up the space, keep the bugs towards the outskirts of your yard, and make it look nice and cozy. There are many different styles of lights you can get such as lanterns, solar lights, spotlights that face towards the fence, string lights that hang over the top portion of your fence, and so many more. They are a simple and easy way to elevate the space and make your yard welcoming and inviting. If that’s what you’re going for of course 😉
4. String lights
Strings lights can add a whimsical, magical, and even romantic vibe to your yard. They come in many different lengths depending on how big or small your yard is. And you can style them in a variety of ways to switch things up every now and then. You can crisscross them, outline your yard in a classic square or rectangle, or hang them in a zig zag as shown in the picture above.
Lighting your lawn and exterior of your home can make your yard pop in the evening and night hours. The great part is that it doesn’t have to take too much time or labor to set them up. If you’re looking for a quick and simple way to make your home stand out, add some lighting and you’re all set.
