Exterior and interior lighting are crucial components of any space, serving both functional and aesthetic purposes. Properly planned and installed lighting can enhance the ambiance, improve visibility, and increase safety and security. Exterior lighting serves multiple purposes, including illuminating pathways, enhancing security, highlighting architectural features, and creating a welcoming atmosphere. It is important to identify the specific functions of exterior lighting to determine the types and placement of fixtures.

Create a well-balanced lighting scheme by incorporating multiple layers of lighting, including ambient (general), task, and accent lighting. This helps provide flexibility in adjusting light levels based on activities and moods. Choose fixtures that complement the interior décor and contribute to the overall aesthetic of the space. Options include chandeliers, pendant lights, track lighting, recessed lights, wall sconces, and floor lamps.
