It is crucial to choose the right kind of lights for the facade, so that you feel happy and secure when you come back home from work. Convenient and visually appealing lights should be arranged strategically to highlight the main entrance, the path leading to it, the garden, the garage, as well as the architectural details of the building.

13. The cosy factor

If you want your facade or garden to feel especially cosy and inviting, use an artful mix of recessed and concealed lights.

14. Perfectly-lit front door

Your front door should be amply illuminated since it’s the main access to your home, and a spot where you need to fit the right keys into the lock. But avoid overdoing things to prevent jarring reflections.

15. Ideas for the pool area

To create a magical atmosphere in and around your pool, you can use lights inside the pool, along the edge of the pool, and scatter concealed lights around the garden as well. Suspend pretty lanterns over the pool for extra oomph and enticing bathing sessions.
