Often times overlooked in the overall design of a home, outdoor spaces are an important feature of the home that not only improve the home’s value and curb appeal but also create a space to escape and embrace nature. With the right landscape and lighting design, outdoor spaces become a multi-functional living space and serve as an extension of the home.
For this Westlake home, Marlin Landscape developed a beautiful landscape design that complements the lakefront property and promotes relaxation while protecting the natural environment. Signature Illumination Designs worked closely with the Marlin Landscape team to develop a unique lighting design that makes the most of the outdoor space and extends the hours of use.
Our focus for this home was to design an enhanced lighting scheme that illuminates the multi-functional outdoor space and creates a comfortable and relaxing environment. To define the dining space and ensure visibility when cooking and entertaining, we strategically installed tape lighting outlining the outdoor environment. This tape lighting provides a soft glow, creating a welcoming ambiance and complementing the space.
For the lounging space on the side of home, we used warm lights to create a more romantic and intimate environment. We used tape lighting to complement the private space while ensuring cohesion throughout the property. We also installed Sterling downlights to create functional lighting that illuminates the side of the home while showcasing the unique texture and beautiful features of the home.
To accentuate the lakeside of the home, our team installed spotlights on the edge of the property. The spotlights provide a touch of light that adds a layer of safety without disrupting the natural environment.
Throughout the property, we installed Sterling uplights and downlights to highlight the lush trees outlining the home. At night, the lights provide a natural glow that casts dramatic shadows and establishes the vibrant trees as focal points. This subtle lighting technique instantly elevates the home while adding an elegant soft glow.
Developing an outdoor space that accentuates the home and creates a personal oasis instantly elevates any property. Lighting design plays a vital role in establishing the perfect outdoor space while extending the hours of use.
