Trace every gable. Leave the stone quiet.

This is Home Highlight’s own photograph. Warm points follow every ridge and turret, and the masonry below takes almost nothing. Because the roofline carries the glow, the walls do not need a second wash, and the driveway stays dark.

The company installs a colour-matched track that it says disappears into the roofline by day and is switched from a phone at night¹. The photograph shows why the warm setting is the one to keep: at blue hour it looks like the house, not a display.

From the project

Home Highlight works on two kinds of job, permanent roofline lighting and seasonal holiday installations, and it offers takedown and storage for the seasonal ones¹. It lists columns, pillars, decks and pergolas as other places the track can go¹.

The discipline in this picture is choosing one line. When the roof carries the light, a second layer on the walls would flatten the house; when the walls are washed, a roofline adds little. Pick one.
