What is Architectural Lighting?
Architectural lighting, also known as architectural lighting design, focuses mainly on illuminating the unique features of public buildings, residential homes, and monuments. When it comes to creating a dazzling architectural lighting design, the outdoor lighting experts at Nite Time Decor focus on three fundamental aspects:

1. The aesthetic appeal of the building.
2. The ergonomics or how functional and useful the lighting set up is.
3. The energy-efficiency of the bulbs and fixtures that are used.

There are many benefits associated with architectural lighting, especially when it’s used as part of an outdoor commercial lighting system design. A professionally installed architectural lighting system will greatly enhance even the most modest aspects of your home. Architectural lighting systems are able to:

• Enhance the overall structure of a building by pinpointing unique design features.
• Create a distinct mood or atmosphere.
• Enhance the safety and security of your property.

Accenting the architectural features of your home’s exterior can do wonders for your home’s night time curb appeal and can greatly increase both the perceived and actual value of your home.

Landscape Lighting Adds Drama
Landscape lighting designs focus more on highlighting the trees and other natural areas that surround your home. Landscape lighting can be installed for a variety of reasons. It can be used to enhance the safety of a property or to improve the aesthetics of a yard. Some home owners choose to incorporate lighting into their landscaping in order to improve the accessibility of their space or to prepare for a social gathering. Whatever your reason, landscape lighting systems are a great investment and can have a huge effect on the usability of your property. While architectural lighting is used primarily to highlight your home’s features, landscape lighting can be used to increase your outdoor living space, add dimension to a garden, or highlight a special installation.

When people first think about outdoor lighting, they think of landscape lighting. But, by adding architectural lighting highlights, you will now start to distinguish your home from others in your neighbourhood. Even modest homes appear bigger and more stately with the addition of just a few lights highlighting certain features of your home’s facade.

A well-balanced outdoor lighting installation includes both architectural and landscape lighting fixtures. For help designing a unique lighting installation for your commercial or residential property, contact the experts at Nite Time Decor by phone at 905-632-2445.
