Outdoor lighting can help you capture the warm ambiance of the holidays – all year long.
Don’t you love the holidays? Enticing smells, sounds of laughter, and oh-so-many lights lift our mood and make us feel good about the world. The holidays remind us of the good things in life and help us remember to wish others well and to work for peace on earth. As an adult, these are cherished times. As a child, they were full of magic (perhaps they still are). Wouldn’t it be nice if all of the good feelings and joy associated with the holidays could last all year? Believe it or not, you can capture holiday ambiance, and the best way to do this is with outdoor lighting.
There are many factors that cause off our good holiday feelings, but one that is most powerful is the lighting. While everyone uses lighting throughout the year in a functional way, during the holidays more homeowners use it to effect mood. We drape our homes with string lighting, set 3D sculptures made of lights out on the lawn, and even wrap our trees and shrubs in festive lighting. Everywhere you look during the month of December, lights shine and twinkle. These warm bright spots against a cold, dark night have a very powerful effect on our moods and emotions. Warm lights evoke feelings of security, warmth, and happiness. Humans have been gathering around light throughout history, be that firelight or underneath incandescent bulbs in the kitchen, so our attraction to it is deeply rooted.
Even after the holidays, your home can inspire joy.
Outdoor lighting from Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay can illuminate your home in a striking, artistic way that transcends seasons but still elicits all the good feelings you associate with the holidays. Imagine pulling into your drive and up to a home bathed in warm light. The special features of your home are highlighted. There is careful balance of light and shadow. Dramatic uplighting showcases your trees, and your Royal Palms appear even more regal under these beams. Path lights splash pools of light along your walkways and into your flowerbeds. Your entryway shines a welcoming glow.
Though we see light’s effects more often during this season, outdoor lighting isn’t just for the holidays, and its effects on ambiance and mood can be felt all year long. Don’t lose that special warmth and welcome once your outdoor holiday lights come down. Call Outdoor Lighting Perspectives of Clearwater & Tampa Bay, and come home to beauty and elegance night after night.
