Here’s How Outdoor Lighting Can Inspire Quality Time with Family in the Brentwood and Franklin, TN, Areas
If you have been thinking of ways to improve your property, outdoor lighting can be an ideal option to consider. It can be used strategically to create more inviting spaces within your backyard and extend the amount of time you can spend outside. Illuminating features added to your property in the Brentwood and Franklin, TN, areas can inspire quality time with family. Here’s how.
Expands Your Useable Space
When you add outdoor lighting to your property, you’re giving your family more space to use at night. Maybe you have limited indoor space for family gatherings, or you simply would prefer that the parties move outdoors whenever possible. Strategically placed outdoor lighting, added along your retaining walls and near your patio, could light up the evenings and get everyone outside to play board games or to talk more freely in the later hours.
Getting More Use Out of Your Backyard Patio
Your backyard patio may be a favorite gathering spot for your family during the daytime, and that doesn’t have to end just because the sun is about to set. Why not use your backyard space more by adding outdoor lights to your patio? Subtle lighting could help to keep the conversation going or more plentiful outdoor light fixtures can make it so activities like gaming or outdoor dining can occur without anyone wanting to take the party inside.
Extended Use of the Pool Patio
If you have an outdoor pool and accompanying patio, you could consider adding outdoor lighting to this area, if you don’t already have this type of exterior lighting in place. By adding outdoor lights to the border of your pool and patio, you can create a safe area for family members to use the pool at night.
In addition, when you add lighting to your pool deck, you can encourage your family to spend more time together, no matter what time of day it may be. You can choose outdoor lights that match the lighting already in place or mix up the styles a bit and add light fixtures that are a bit different, such as using classic and ornate design options at the same time. Then, depending on the style of outdoor lighting you choose, you can make this area a spot that helps you pursue quality family time and create lasting memories together.
Light Up a Fire Pit Area
A fire pit offers a welcome glow all its own but could benefit from lighting that compels family members to throw more logs onto the fire or switch the gas-fueled fire feature on. As you consider adding this fire feature to your landscape, and consider the size and shape it should take, also give thought to the lighting in the surrounding area. Recessed lighting along the walkway leading up to it provides a route to what could be the best place to spend late-night hours in your landscape.
Lighting here could be as simple or as ornate as you like, depending on whether you want to have a quiet space for intimate conversation or a more active one where you could read a book or play a card game.
