Bring Beauty & Wonder to Your California Home After Dark 

We’ve written about the importance of lighting design inside the house—but what about outdoors? Lighting design can do wonders for your outdoor living spaces and house’s exterior. And if you have a garden or landscaping you’re proud of, why hide it in the shadows?

Read on to discover how our lighting designers can make the most of your outdoor spaces in Corona Del Mar, CA, and beyond.

Show Off Your Best Features

Lighting design intentionally highlights focal points and creates depth in your outdoor spaces. Whether that means spotlighting unique plants, statues, or your home’s architecture, we’ll use angled spotlights to create an intriguing moonlit effect. In the garden, a combination of up-lights and down-lights will create shadows and textured layers through foliage.  

Illuminate for Safety & Navigation 

Outdoor lighting design isn’t just about aesthetics—you can also make it safer to walk in the dark and expand your living spaces. Pathways and recessed deck lights can guide walkways and stairs, while floodlights or motion-sensor lights illuminate entrances and dark corners. 

In living areas like patios or fire pits, we’ll apply string lights, overhead tree lights, and wall sconces to create a comfortable ‘outdoor living room’ atmosphere—so you’ll spend more time outdoors than ever. 

Add Flexibility with Smart Controls 

‘On’ and ‘off’ aren’t your only lighting options! Your lighting designer can install dimmers for brightness customization, and a smart lighting system allows you to customize the color and brightness of outdoor LEDs anytime. With a smart system, you can schedule outdoor lights to follow a schedule and even control them remotely.
