How to Embrace Farmhouse Style with Your Home Lighting

We have good news: the farmhouse style is here to stay. 

It’s been several years since the Joanna Gaines’ of the world suddenly appeared and took the world by shiplap-storm, and at first many of us wondered if this was simply a fad that would fade out as quickly as it came. But, the farmhouse-chic style is proving to stand the test of time and has made a huge impact on the modern world of interior design! This style isn’t going anywhere anytime soon, and we’re loving every minute of it.

Outdoor Lighting Style Guide

It’s no secret that we all spend mass amounts of time planning, designing, and decorating the interiors of our homes; but what about your home’s exterior? Creating a comfortable, inviting, and functional atmosphere in your home’s outdoor spaces is simpler than it may seem and can be accomplished by incorporating high quality lighting and fixtures. 

Install outdoor ceiling fans for cooling and comfort

Outdoor Ceiling Fans for Your Home

As warm weather arrives along the Front Range, you’ll likely be spending more time outside. While summer isn’t here yet, you may have already done a few of your favorite hikes, and you might be working on getting the back yard or front porch in order for evening gatherings of friends and family.

At The Light Center in Fort Collins, we want you to be able to enjoy the warmer months of the year, and with outdoor ceiling fans on your deck or porch, you can stay cool while sitting outside!

Create an outdoor lighting plan for Safety and security

Creating Your New Outdoor Lighting Plan

It may only be the beginning of January, and for those in Northern Colorado, spending time outside might be the furthest thing from their minds. Even though the weather has been somewhat nice as of late, you likely won’t be spending evenings on the porch or in the backyard until at least the end of March or beginning of April.

Winter Lighting Tips

It’s now November, which means that Daylight Savings Time has ended and the sun is setting earlier every single day. It may take some time for you to adjust to it being dark at five o’clock, but after a few weeks, you likely won’t notice it at all. At The Light Center in Fort Collins, we’re here to help you brighten your home all year round, but it’s during the shorter days of winter that you may begin thinking about how you can add more light in each room. As your local lighting store, we carry fantastic options for your bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, and more. Visit our showroom today to get started!
