One of the most personally rewarding parts of being a homeowner is the selection of your favorite decorative elements, items and accessories for your home’s interior and exterior that truly define your personality and individuality. Even in a development where the basic layout of the homes seem similar, no two residences are the same. Your personal passion for traditional, contemporary, casual, minimalistic or vintage eclectic décor, sets you and your home apart from your neighbors. Items of interest you display on the outside of your home and within your landscape are no different. Whether it is a favorite sculpture, a beautiful water feature or even the type of finish you carefully selected for your home’s facade, each of these items are considered a focal point, and are not only what make a house a home, but are also what make your home and property unique.
You can highlight the unique outdoor elements you cherish and bring them to life with the addition of focal point outdoor lighting. Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay are experts at putting your home, landscape, gardens and outdoor decorative items in their best light to further enhance their beauty and make them the envy of everyone who sees them.
Here is a look at some of the areas/items of interest that have benefitted from the addition of focal point lighting by Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay:
This backyard stone waterfall demands center stage in your backyard day or night with the addition of focal point lighting. The sounds and sights of the water as it dances in the evening are soothing to all the senses.
For this Tampa Bay homeowner we designed an outdoor lighting system which enlivened their backyard water feature and landscaping by highlighting specific landscaping elements, such as these majestic trees.
Our beautiful Clearwater & Tampa Bay nights occasionally need the warmth of a fire pit when entertaining or relaxing outside. Conversation areas around this fire feature benefit greatly from the soft ambient lighting we installed throughout this backyard, with or without the subtle flames of this artistically designed fire pit.
Focusing on the stunning exterior features of this home we used highlighting with a series of up lights giving this Tampa Bay home a warm and inviting feel. To complete the exterior illumination, warm washes of outdoor lighting combined with shadowing grace the facade and courtyard.
No Clearwater or Tampa Bay home would be complete without a beautiful, refreshing pool for relaxing and entertaining during the day or night. For optimal use after the sun has gone down we unified two of nature’s most tranquil elements, water and light, to extend the use of this pool well into the night hours while making it a cherished focal point of interest.
To achieve the best lighting plan for your home and its surrounding property, our design consultation focuses on obtaining a clear picture of your wants and needs. We then translate this information along with our professional expertise into a custom lighting design system using a combination of many different outdoor lighting techniques to create the perfect effect. Some of those techniques include:
Uplighting–installing fixtures at ground level with the light shooting upward to illuminate facades and key landscaping elements.
Path lighting–using knee-height fixtures that shoot light downward to light traveled pathways, natural stone paths and outdoor living spaces.
Shadowing–causing a tree, fountain, statue or other element to cast a beautiful shadow against a wall.
Spotlighting–shooting light directly at an object to make it stand out.
