Finding Landscape Lighting Ideas in Unusual Places
If it's time
to look at outdoor landscape lighting for
your yard there are lots of great resources available. Some are
conventional, like the Internet, others not so much. Like when I'm visiting a friends house that has a great design,
I always
snoop around and ask questions. Almost anyone who has spend time setting up
their garden for lighting will be more than happy to share what they learned. I
also like to go for walks at night in the neighborhood and see what other people
have done to light up their property.
Here are a few other great sources for
information:
- Lottery houses and show homes - Not
only do they have the latest designs, but sometimes they have detailed
information on what they did and where you can purchase the products they used.
- Your local library - Libraries don’t
always have the latest books on landscape design but they usually have stacks of
gardening magazines filled with great ideas and pictures.
- Home and Garden Centers - Retail stores usually have lighting displays, information and
hopefully helpful staff who can advise you.
