Landscape Lighting
Highlight your front garden or architecture by adding landscape lighting – this type of outdoor lighting sits on top of stakes that stick into the ground along a path and can feature your curb appeal. The outdoor lighting that is best for back decks, garages, front porches are flood lights with motion sensors, this can create a safer outdoor space at night. If you’re looking for a more discreet way to add safety then deck, rail, and step lights may be a better way to go- they are installed under stairs, decks, and railings.
Hang String Lights
One of the most popular ways to create a cozy atmosphere on your patio is to hang string lights- they are small light bulbs that are placed along a cord. They can have a covering or lantern over them or they can be exposed bulbs, depending on your style. Wall sconces and lanterns can also add the perfect amount of lighting to your outdoor space but if you have a covered porch with a high ceiling, a hanging light may be more appropriate. A ceiling fan could also be a great option for those hot and humid Louisiana evenings!
We hope these tips have given you some ideas on how to create a safer, more beautiful atmosphere with outdoor lighting fixtures.
