Lighting Using Layers
Many homeowners are interested in lighting that creates texture and appeal to their home that can be achieved with a variety of methods. You may want to consider soffit lights or downlighting. These lights may be installed in trees or from higher points of your home. Bullet lights are installed at ground level. Bullet lights will shoot the lights in a very particular direction and angle, perfect if your primary goal was number three, highlighting particular architectural features! Well lights are another alternative that create a combination of lights and shadows and are installed in the ground.
Wash and Wall Lighting
In order to focus on the specifics of your home’s lighting goals, you should first have a base which can be accomplished with wash or wall lighting. Soft white light at wide angels are used to achieve this look. Think of wash lighting as the paper or canvas to start your masterpiece and the layers of light as the different strokes of paint applied once you have your materials in place.
