"My husband and I have used Corey Brown Décor on several occasions.  Initially we used Corey?s services to decorate our formal living & dining rooms, family room, and guest bathroom.  We were so pleased with the outcome that we had him come back to decorate our master bedroom and rental property.  Corey partnered with our general contractor when remodeling our rental property and selected all flooring, paint, lighting, window coverings, and appliances, etc.   We didn?t have to worry about a thing.  In addition to large-scale projects, we?ve also utilized Corey for small consulting projects such as selecting paint colors and flooring. 
We felt that Corey?s fees were very reasonable and he worked within our budget.  He did a great job of shopping for quality items that stayed within our budget.   As a result, we were able to recoup most of his fees through the savings he found for us.   Most importantly however, Corey listened to what we wanted, made recommendations, and customized his designs to ensure we were 100% satisfied. He was easy to work with and very flexible.
We have complete confidence in Corey?s abilities, would highly recommend him, and have referred him to many of our friends and colleagues (and they too were so pleased that they referred Corey to their friends).

"Great. Very professional. Costs were presented up front to cover large area. Work was cleanly done. Artificially placed. Cipriano's crew relocated and fixed our lighting as well. We're very happy with how everything looks and with the fact we're now using less water."

When he came into my home he assessed the flow of energy and gave ideas to improve the vibe with the selection of finishes, furniture, lighting, rugs and art. He took time to really get to know me and tailor the design to fit my lifestyle."

"Gabriel arrived right on time, and spent half an hour troubleshooting my landscape lighting problem. The repair needed some sod lifted, which I will have done by the gardener. Gabriel was very polite and conscientious in looking for other solutions that did not require this. I will definitely call them again if I for electrical needs."

"I hired Jacqueline of JP Green Design in July 2025 to redecorate my great room. In addition to her design talent, she's patient, has a lovely personality, does a great job of keeping the project (and me) on track and focused on the goal. The team of painters and electricians she uses are friendly, clean, respectful, and their work is top notch. Jacqueline keeps in constant contact with them to ensure her vision is realized. She had such good ideas that I ended up having her choose colors and paint the entire interior as well as replace the window coverings and light fixtures throughout the house. What a huge difference that has made! The furniture will arrive this month as it took a while to make decisions and delivery can take about 12 weeks, so plan accordingly. I'm so excited to go into 2026 with a completely transformed home!"

Lighting FAQs, answered by experts

The five common types of landscape lighting are up-lighting, down-lighting, spotlights, built-in lighting, and pathway lighting.

  • Up-lighting casts light upwards from the ground, mostly for aesthetic purposes.

  • Down-lighting directs light onto the ground, lighting pathways, or outdoor space.

  • Spotlights cast direct, focused lighting in any direction.

  • Built-in lighting integrates lighting into an outdoor feature.

  • Pathway lighting illuminates walkways, increasing safety.

It’s fair to be concerned about handling pool lights or wiring in a pool filled with water. But fortunately, pool lights and swimming pools are designed to make it easy and safe to replace the lights without needing to drain the water. Instead, you can turn off the electricity to the pool as a safety precaution, unscrew the pool fixture, pull it up and out to the side of the pool, then change the bulb.

Local building codes typically require conduit around exterior wiring. Conduit protects the wire from moisture, extreme temperatures, sun exposure, and harsh weather conditions to prolong its lifespan. When a wire is worn out, it can be dangerous as the risk of electric shock or fire increases.

Yes, animals can trigger motion-sensor lights. In fact, this is a reason why some homeowners install motion-sensor lights, to catch sneaky little critters looking through the rubbish for a midnight snack. There are sensitivities to animal detection though, so you may want to look for an option that avoids animal detection as much as possible.

Outdoor lighting enhances security, improves curb appeal, and extends the usability of outdoor spaces.
