Bring your garden, entrance and outdoor living spaces into view after sunset. Elegant Accents designs and installs outdoor lighting around your home’s character, the views you enjoy and the way you spend time outside.
Start with the landscape. Connect it with architectural and pool lighting—and dock or deck lighting where your property calls for it.
South Tampa includes older homes, contemporary residences and waterfront settings. A garden near neighboring windows calls for different decisions than an open bay-facing deck. We start with the actual property rather than assume every South Tampa home needs the same lighting.
Tell us what you want to see from your main rooms, which routes you use after dark and where you relax outdoors. We consider the house, planting, neighboring views and existing lighting as one design. For a home in a community or historic district with exterior-work requirements, share those details before the plan is finalized.
Hyde Park’s historic homes are one example of the area’s architectural variety. The City of Tampa’s neighborhood guide provides background; your property’s requirements still need to be checked individually.
Landscape lighting is the starting point. Select the trees, garden beds and paths you most want to bring into view, then consider what you will see from your windows and seating areas. Fixture placement and light levels should create depth without sending glare toward the house or neighbors.
For an established garden, discuss plant growth and access for installation and care. Explore Landscape Lighting.
An older porch, a contemporary facade and a prominent entrance each offer different features to work with. Choose the details that give your home its character and coordinate them with the planting around the building.
We discuss how the house should look from the street and from within the property, rather than illuminating every surface equally. See Architectural Lighting.
Plan the light around the activities: dining, swimming, conversations and the walk back indoors. Consider views through nearby windows and the transition between the enclosure and surrounding garden.
The lighting should help the space feel comfortable to use while keeping fixtures from dominating the scene. Explore Pool Cage & Pool Deck Lighting.
If your property includes a waterfront dock or deck, begin with the steps, edges, seating and route back to the house. Discuss light placement in relation to the open-water view and the conditions at your site.
Exposure, equipment access and ongoing care are part of that conversation. A waterfront solution is relevant to those properties—not a requirement for every South Tampa home. See Dock & Deck Lighting.
Jeff shared an Elegant Accents project at a South Tampa home featuring pool and garden lighting. It is a useful example of those spaces working together after dark.
View the project post, then bring the elements you like to your consultation. Your design will depend on your own home and priorities.
For more lighting ideas, browse our Project Gallery across Tampa Bay. Bring your favorites to the consultation so we can discuss how they could work with your home and landscape.
Outdoor lighting has been Elegant Accents’ specialty since 1999. We discuss your priorities, develop the recommended design and review the options, pricing and proposed installation plan before you decide.
Our in-house team installs the lighting, and your designer returns for a nighttime reveal and final adjustments. Ask us to explain the equipment, care requirements and applicable warranty terms included in your proposal.
Tell us about nearby windows, seating areas and views you want to protect. Placement, direction and light levels are part of the design discussion. We review the result during the nighttime reveal and make final adjustments; the approach depends on the property.
No. A front garden, porch or lanai may be the priority. Dock and waterfront lighting is considered where the property has those spaces. We choose the services around how you use your home, not simply because it is in South Tampa.
Tell us what works, what needs attention and what you want to change. Whether existing equipment can be reused depends on its condition and suitability for the proposed design. For a service issue, visit Service & Maintenance.
Bring your address, the areas you want to improve, examples you like and any planned landscape, pool or exterior work. Share community or historic-district requirements if they apply. We will discuss the current consultation process, proposed scope and next steps.
