Exterior Lighting that Shines

Looking to light up your outdoor space? Heartland Builders has some bright ideas on timeless exterior lighting options for your new home in Grand Rapids.

·         Consider building a fire pit or fireplace. Not only will it provide an additional light source, it will also offer warmth in the cooler months, prolong your ability to use your outdoor space, and give you a fun gathering place for guests. S’mores anyone?

·         More and more new homebuilders in Grand Rapids are seeking both indoor and outdoor living spaces. From funky to traditional, chandeliers can give a deck or patio a warm feel and allow the space to truly feel like an extension of the home.

·         Candles are a flexible and inexpensive lighting alternative that also offers ambiance. Consider utilizing lanterns or hurricane vases as a stylish—and safe—way to house your candles. Opt for citronella candles to keep the bugs at bay.

·         Get two benefits in one by installing a ceiling fan. Hot summer nights are made more bearable with a nice breeze. Combined with an overhead light source, all-weather fans are a popular option for covered patios and pergolas.

·         With a wide variety of sizes, shapes and designs, string lights provide a spunky and inexpensive alternative to traditional light fixtures. Illuminate seating areas, walkways or gardens in your new home in Grand Rapids with these fun and flexible balls of light.

·         Save green by going green with solar lighting. From lanterns and spotlights to decorative fixtures and posts, solar lighting comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to meet all of your exterior lighting needs.
