DESIGN DIALOGUES
Transforming Spaces with Outdoor Lighting
January 22 at 1:00 PM EST / 10:00 AM PST
VIRTUAL | PANEL DISCUSSION
Lighting can serve as the centerpiece of a celebration, like fireworks lighting up the sky on the 4th of July or Canada Day. It can also play a supporting role, as seen with sparklers on New Year's Eve or the soft glow of candles on a birthday cake. Regardless of its role, lighting often enhances the mood and highlights the significance of any occasion. Yet, when it comes to outdoor design, lighting is frequently overlooked, despite being a key element. Not only does it improve safety, but it also boosts functionality, enhances curb appeal, and sets the perfect ambiance—helping to create unforgettable moments. To shed light on this essential aspect of outdoor living, we have invited lighting experts to share their insights, offer practical tips, and discuss the lighting trends we can expect to see in the year ahead.
