Lighting matters a lot when days are short. Think about putting in solar path lights or well-placed spotlights to light up walkways and cool building features. Make your entrance look warm and inviting in winter. Use tough evergreens and plants that bloom in winter in pretty pots. This adds much-needed color to the plain winter look.
