If you’ve already renovated your mobile home’s interior, why not head outside? There are tons of ways to use lighting to upgrade your home’s exterior. Plus, upgrading outdoor lighting is a simple DIY project with instant results. Here are four of the best reasons to add outdoor lighting to your mobile home to-do list.
Improves Safety
Outdoor lighting improves the safety of your mobile home by making it easier to find the door while also deterring intruders. That’s what makes it one of the more practical reasons to add outdoor lighting to your mobile home.
Try adding motion lights to the corners of your home to scare away nocturnal pests. Motion lights will also help you spot anything unusual outside of your home. To prevent falls or other injuries, you can install path lighting along your sidewalk or driveway.
Boosts Curb Appeal
Curb appeal is essentially your mobile home’s first impression to the outside world. Does it reflect your welcoming personality or your playful style sensibilities? If your design ends at the front door, you’re missing out on key opportunities to upgrade your home.
Outdoor lighting is one of the easiest ways to improve the curb appeal of your mobile home. To highlight the front door, add a decorative sconce to light the way. You can also use lighting to showcase your landscaping at night.
Adds Ambiance
If you wish your mobile home looked cozier from the outside, outdoor lighting can solve that problem. A simple string of white lights can instantly make your home look more festive. Try adding them to your porch railing or around a patio area.
To add a cozy ambiance, opt for lights in warmer temperatures over cooler ones. White bulbs have a warm yellow tone, while daylight bulbs have a cool blue tone that can look less inviting.
Extends Living Space
When you have the right outdoor lighting, you can spend more time outside. Whether you enjoy reading outside or throwing backyard parties, installing creative lighting will make your space more usable. You don’t have to go inside when the sun goes down; turn on your outdoor lights and enjoy the great outdoors to your heart’s content!
Whether you install motion lights for safety or string lights for aesthetics, these illuminating ideas will energize your space. Any one of these DIY lighting project ideas will make your house feel more like home.
