Warmly Light the Arrival Path
Guide late arrivals with dusk-to-dawn path lighting that feels safe and cinematic.
Why it matters
Poorly lit entries lead to negative reviews and liability concerns. A thoughtfully lit path creates a wow moment before the front door opens.
Exterior path lighting eases late-night arrivals and photographs beautifully for your listing. Solar or low-voltage fixtures are budget-friendly and simple to maintain.
How to implement it
- Map the guest route from parking to entry, noting trip hazards.
- Install stake or wall lights at 6-8 foot intervals with warm white bulbs.
- Add a smart timer or dusk sensor so lights run automatically.
