You Can See Your Home’s Weak Spots

The bright, even light of summer can often hide your home's lighting deficiencies. As the sun begins to set a little earlier each day, take a walk through your home in the evening. You'll notice the dark corners in your living room, the poorly lit countertops in your kitchen, and the dim hallways. This is the perfect time to identify where you need better seasonal lighting to create a warm and functional space for the fall and winter.

Planning for Cozier Evenings

Fall is all about creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. This is when the layers of your lighting truly matter. Now is the time to think about adding dimmer switches to your overhead lights, placing a new floor lamp next to your favorite reading chair, or selecting a chandelier with a warm glow for your dining room. Planning ahead allows you to choose the best indoor lighting fixtures to achieve that perfect autumn ambiance.

Enhancing Curb Appeal and Safety

With the sun setting earlier, your outdoor spaces need attention, too. The best outdoor lighting not only boosts your home's curb appeal on darker evenings but also enhances safety. Take stock of your wall lanterns, path lights, and landscape lighting now to ensure your walkways are safely illuminated before the fall leaves start to cover them.

Getting Ahead of the Holiday Rush

Once September hits, life tends to speed up. By planning your lighting design in August, you get ahead of the inevitable holiday rush. This ensures you have ample time for product selection, delivery, and professional installation without the stress of a looming deadline for a Thanksgiving dinner or holiday party. You can relax and enjoy the season, knowing your home is beautifully lit and ready for guests.
