Architectural Lighting for Houston Homes
Make your home stand out with elegant lighting that highlights architectural beauty, adds nighttime curb appeal, and increases safety. From stone facades to stately columns, we’ll design a custom lighting plan that showcases the unique features of your home.
What Is Architectural Lighting?
Architectural lighting focuses on illuminating the front of your home and its most defining features, such as entryways, columns, balconies, roof peaks, and facades. It blends function and artistry, increasing curb appeal while improving visibility and safety.
Our expert designers choose the right fixture, brightness, beam spread, and color temperature to match your home’s style, whether you have a classic brick colonial or a custom Mediterranean estate.
Why Homeowners Invest in Architectural Lighting
Architectural lighting delivers both beauty and practical benefits:
- Makes your home look stunning and well-maintained at night
- Increases safety around entrances, steps, and walkways
- Boosts property value (homes with lighting often recover 50 to 80 percent of the cost at resale)
- Enhances pride of ownership and the joy of coming home to a beautifully lit house
- Adds a finished, high-end look that sets your home apart
Designed for Houston Homes
We light a variety of architectural styles found in Houston, including:
- Classic brick two-stories
- Contemporary or modern homes
- Custom Mediterranean-style villas
- Ranch-style and transitional homes
No matter your style, we design lighting that feels intentional, warm, and balanced. It’s never harsh or overdone.
Smart Lighting Options and Upgrades
All of our architectural lighting systems can be personalized with:
- Smart controls (photocells, timers, and app-based systems)
- Color-changing options (RGBW for seasonal or festive looks)
- Zoning and dimming features that let you adjust different parts of your home’s facade independently
Our Process
Your experience starts with a short discovery call where we learn about your goals, home style, and ideal lighting look. From there, we’ll schedule an on-site consultation to walk the property and craft a custom design.
We handle the installation with care, including hand-trenching all wire, so your yard is restored like we were never there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the installation damage my yard or home exterior?
No. Our team hand-trenches wire and hides all components. We restore your landscaping and leave your home looking better than we found it.
Is architectural lighting expensive?
Architectural lighting is more affordable than many homeowners expect. Pricing depends on the size of the home, design complexity, and chosen features. We’ll create a custom quote during your consultation.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed in one to two days. Larger homes or more complex layouts may take longer. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work begins.
How long does it take to get scheduled?
We typically install within one to two weeks of your consultation. Demand may be higher in spring and fall.
