We talk a lot on this blog about how a beautiful new garage door can increase the curb appeal of your home. But that’s only if people can see it. That’s why ambient lighting is just as important when it comes to the ROI a new garage door can make to your home.
The Beauty of Downlighting
Downlighting is one of the most popular choices when it comes to garage door lighting. Installed above the garage door, these lights are focused on the garage and surrounding area. This helps to highlight the appeal of the garage at night, create an attractive allure that is eye-catching and beautiful. Downlighting can be especially appealing if you have a wooden garage door or a color that complements the rest of the home particularly well.
Security and Safety Improvements
In addition to highlighting the visual appeal, a well lit garage door is also more secure. Criminals hate well lit areas. In fact, having a dark garage and driveway actually makes you a target. If your neighbors have great garage door and driveway lighting, you’re a much more appealing target, the low hanging fruit so to speak.
