10 Properties LUX Landscape Lighting Has Helped Shine Bright
We love to feature our client’s beautiful homes and landscaping. Let’s take a look at 10 dramatic before-and-after transformations. These landscape lighting ideas are sure to inspire.
First up, this brick ranch has interesting gables that get lost in the twilight. We illuminated the home from top to bottom, including walkway, front facade and roofline.
2. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Don’t Lose Your Way After Dark
Here’s a similar home architecture that benefits from landscape lighting ideas to install fixtures from corner to corner. This home has a sidewalk from driveway to front door, and it could be difficult to navigate the area at night. Also, the beautiful corner brickwork deserves to be seen!
3. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Remember to Light the Second Story
This lovely brick home is perfect for wall-washing, a landscape lighting technique that highlights textured surfaces. LUX Landscape Lighting was careful to choose the right lighting intensity to prevent “glare bombs.” Our lighting extends to the second story, so the full grandeur of the home is seen after sunset.
4. Landscape Lighting Ideas: A Challenging, Below-Grade Build
This modern home blends into the landscape and is set below the height of the driveway. Before, it could be hard to enjoy and navigate the front porch. With our landscape lighting ideas, we softly illuminated the entryway and length of the home, so it glows in a welcoming way.
5. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Replacing Outdoor Lights on a Modern Home
Homeowners with existing systems may also be looking for landscape lighting ideas. For this client, a previous installer created a dim, shadowy effect with under-powered and poorly-placed fixtures. We replaced them with a cooler light temperature and balanced shadows and light. This new effect is dramatic and modern instead of dingy.
6. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Replacing Outdoor Lights on a Colonial Home
This before-and-after transformation balances the second story of this colonial home. Roof lighting makes the dormers pop and eliminates the awkward shadow above the front portico. Also notice the lighting on the majestic trees in the backyard, which adds depth and interest.
7. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Illuminating a Black Home
Darker home colors absorb light and can be tricky to light. Owners of black homes looking for landscape lighting ideas will find inspiration in this before and after. Even though the before picture was taken before full dark, the home nearly disappears in shadow. After, these homeowners get to enjoy the dramatic uplighting on their brick texture, along with all the other nice details of their architecture.
8. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Before-and-After in Front and Backyard
Before LUX helped this homeowner with landscape lighting ideas, the home relied on a single porch light in the front. We highlighted all the unique features of this home, from gable peaks to ornamental trees lining the driveway.
This home also features a beautiful backyard living room, complete with outdoor fireplace and entertainment system. As you can see in the before and after photos, hardscape lighting enhances the fireplace effect and helps the space feel larger and more welcoming. (Without needing to use the harsh can lights built into the pergola).
9. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Color-Changing Lights Give Options
This stately home is the perfect canvas for elegant landscape lighting. But these homeowners also enjoy celebrating the seasons! With color-changing LED lights, they get to enjoy both. Shown in the after photos are both the day-to-day lighting, along with Christmas-themed lights. LUX also programmed Halloween lights and more, which the client can change with a tap in the app.
10. Landscape Lighting Ideas: Garage Lighting on a Contemporary Home
Many contemporary homes have both the front door and garage doors facing the street. When lighting these homes, it can be a challenge to feature both. For this particular home, the front door is lost in shadow after sunset. LUX lightens everything up and features the various materials on the home, from stone to brick to wood shingle siding.
