Tips to Light Your Front Porch for Spring
Shop Outdoor Lighting
Rustic Flair
When we think of rustic exterior lighting, wall sconces come to mind. Industrial-style lanterns on either side of the door accomplish two goals: Proper illumination for guests and timeless design. We recommend choosing an LED variety for energy-efficiency, in the event you leave the lights on all night.
Once the lighting is set, it’s time to find the right accessories. As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers. Add your own flair with hand painted planters filled with your favorite flowers!
Modern & Charming
You can easily create a charming space with a soft glow of light in a cozy atmosphere. We recommend outdoor wall lanterns with clear-seeded glass panels. A design trend from the Victorian Era that has recently made a comeback, these panels beautifully reflect light to produce gentle illumination.
Further enhance the charm of these vintage-inspired sconces with a brightly painted door. As guests arrive, they are sure to be envious of your modern exterior wall lanterns and taste in design!
Classic Contrast
To truly make a bold statement, consider mounting a transitional light fixture above the door. Exude classic style with a hanging lantern and wide aluminum shades. For a vintage look, tarnished silver or polished nickel shades would complement a darkly painted front door. With the lighting in place, accent with tall gray planters for a friendlier feel.
