Great Austin outdoor lighting design takes a view from inside<\/h2>\n

The other night I was sitting on the sofa looking out through one of our large glass sliding doors and it dawned on me just how nice the view was.\u00a0 Most people can\u2019t see anything through their windows at night because darkness will turn their windows into big black mirrors, reflecting what is going on inside the house.<\/p>\n

\"Austin<\/a>
A view from a window<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What I saw was this large red oak tree that had turned red and orange.\u00a0 The way it is lit, along with some of the other landscape, made a wonderful framed picture through my glass door and the cathedral windows above it.\u00a0 My view becomes a floor-to-ceiling picture that changes from a colorful fall photo to an interestingly sparse winter scene when all of the leaves are gone; then a vision of spring as the tree gets brand new soft shoots and then quickly depicts summer when the tree is full and thick with rich green leaves.<\/p>\n

Can you imagine? A piece of art seen at night that grows and changes with the seasons?\u00a0 We easily take this for granted during the day, but it is so much more dramatic at night!\u00a0 Sure, you see and appreciate the changes as days rush past in daylight, but against the dark background of the night, it looks almost completely different.\u00a0 Imagine also enjoying that impressive spectacle from the comfort of your own living room, kitchen or even your master bedroom.<\/p>\n

When I create an Austin outdoor lighting design, I almost always ask to view the landscape from inside the home. I generally get a confused look from the homeowner until I tell them that I want to make sure that their windows become frames for the artwork that is about to be created outside.\u00a0 Then the \u2018light bulb\u2019 blinks on, and I get to see a smile as I describe how that Japanese Maple or magnificent Oak tree is going to look at night through that big picture window.<\/p>\n

Taking advantage of the perspective from inside<\/em><\/strong> the home is a big part of high quality Austin outdoor lighting design. After investing in an amazing landscape, it should not be hidden from your view for half of the day. If the lighting person does not ask to see your view from inside the home, then they are not really designing a lighting system for you — they\u2019re designing a lighting system for your neighbors and themselves. I prefer to design a lighting system for the person who\u2019s paying for it (that\u2019s a big deal for me).<\/p>\n

Take a few minutes tonight and look outside your windows from your favorite easy chair or maybe from your dining room table, or even your cozy bed. What do you see? What would you see if there was some soft beautiful lighting out there highlighting your landscape? Yeah, now you\u2019re getting it.<\/p>\n
