If your heart has just sunk because your home only has a small frontage – don’t despair! You can still use exterior lighting to enhance your property. If your front path is short, staggering ground lights along the edge will make it look more substantial; okay, maybe a Victorian lamppost is out of the question, but you can still use well placed ground lights and wall lights. Try to create pools of soft light by using low ground lights and if you have a specimen shrub that you’re particularly fond of, no matter how small it is – illuminate it with an up light; coloured LEDs are particular effective in this situation.

Choosing low voltage lights means that you can enhance your home, making it look like you’ve spent barrow loads of money on the scheme, at negligible running cost. What’s more, quality exterior lighting actually adds value to your home!
