Wall Washing and Grazing
Walls are the biggest surfaces on a property, and lighting them changes everything. We use wide washes for an even, warm glow and tight grazing for strong texture, depending on the surface and the mood you want.
- WashingEven, soft light across a wall
- GrazingClose fixtures that rake across texture
- SurfacesBrick, stone, stucco and siding
- ColorWarm white or tunable

Common questions
What is the difference between washing and grazing?
Washing spreads light evenly over a surface. Grazing places a fixture close to the wall so the light rakes across it and shows texture.
Will it look the same on every wall?
No. We choose the method for each surface so each wall looks its best.
