FAQ

What outdoor lighting makes the biggest curb appeal difference?

Entry lighting and garage lighting often change the front of the home first. Tree and pathway lighting can add depth after that.

Should all front-of-house lights be the same color temperature?

They should usually coordinate. Warm-white lighting helps the house feel more consistent and less harsh.
