Creating an Oasis with Outdoor Light Fixtures
Enhancing the Functionality, Aesthetics, and Safety of Your Outdoor Areas
As human beings, we tend to overlook the things we've grown accustomed to. We drive down the same street a thousand times and never notice the purple coneflowers and columbines. After the sun sets, we may catch sight of a light or two, but nothing that really draws our attention.
Then, one night, brilliant lighting illuminates a home on our street. Awe-inspiring in its artistry, it beckons us to stop and stare. And we wonder, why haven't we considered implementing this brilliance in our outdoor areas? Looking out our windows at night, we could see a masterpiece of light instead of the darkness reflected back.
Is now the time to create an oasis of radiance? Today's incredible outdoor light fixtures and Linx Outdoors' expertise can create show-stopping landscape lighting that takes your breath away. Let's discover how and what it offers your Indianapolis, IN, home.
Functionality, Aesthetics, and Safety
There are three main reasons outdoor lighting is used. Functional lighting ensures a space can be used long after dark. Aesthetic lighting adds to your home's overall design, and security lighting enhances your space's safety, illuminating pathways and deterring intruders.
No matter the type of fixture, one of these three elements is in effect.
Drawing Attention to Your Home's Unique Structure
Highlighting walls, arches, and columns can transform a home, adding atmosphere and intrigue. With today's low-voltage LED lights, you can highlight your home's best features and change the lighting to transform the mood with one touch. These lights come in an infinite palette and set the mood for parties, outdoor dining, relaxation, and holidays.
Consider recessed lights or wall sconces on either side of the door to ensure a warm and inviting welcome. Well lights mounted in the ground are ideal for uplighting walls and columns and are also used to highlight water fountains, statues, and large trees.
Brighten Patios for Outdoor Dining
Patios and outdoor dining areas have become extensions of our homes. These are the spaces where we gather with friends and family and share stories long into the evening. With today's LED lighting, you can instantly create subtle, intimate, candle-like lighting.
Fixtures that enhance this aesthetic include soft, indirect fixtures that deliver diffuse lighting from an unseen source. Pendant lights add a touch of character and style, matching the chosen design theme. String lights are ideal for those looking for enchantment and charm.
Creating Visual Interest
Wall washing lights showcase decorative areas and focal points, drawing your attention in with a beam of light that falls at a wide angle. It produces the illusion of space and enhanced size. Wall grazing creates shadows and textures and is commonly made with accent or bullet light fixtures.
Water and Light
Underwater lights in ponds and fountains produce a mesmerizing effect. A blue-green glow offers mystery, while red illumination provides a striking contrast.
