Beautifully illustrated with vibrant photography, The Art of Outdoor Lighting offers inspiration and practical ideas for painting exterior environments with illumination. This lush volume presents more than 250 vibrant full-color photographs of intimate (and spectacular) outdoor spaces, and lighting ideas for a wide range of settings from palatial estates to pool areas to cozy city gardens. A terrific section called "Common Mistakes in Outdoor Lighting" is an invaluable guide for homeowners and designers alike. And the "Answers to Frequently Asked Outdoor Lighting Questions" and the "Glossary of Lighting Terms" help the reader to build a sound understanding of the art and design techniques behind successful lighting projects.

"This book is filled with examples from around the world of magnificent homes that are enhanced by stunning outdoor lighting effects. It is as much a gallery of artistic lighting as it is a sourcebook for the designer or homeowner looking for ways to make their home stand out."
