Your outdoor lighting design can go well beyond traditional landscape lights and outdoor flood lights. From sconces and gas lanterns to post heads and chandeliers, there are many ways that outdoor light fixtures can add style to your outdoor space.

Sun, rain, and humidity will take a toll on your outdoor light fixtures. Always look for UL Listed lights that are designed to stand up to the elements. Outdoor light fixtures with LED bulbs also bring many advantages. They last longer and use less energy, so you can be both environmentally friendly and design-conscious.

Outdoor lights will improve the safety of your space, add ambiance, and provide you with maximum versatility. When designing your outdoor lighting plan, it’s important to strike a balance between function and beauty.

Outside Lights

Adding outside lights, or upgrading the ones you already have, is one of the best ways to breathe new life into your outdoor space. Don’t be afraid to get creative!

Outside lights can improve any part of your outdoor space that could benefit from extra illumination. Add a touch of elegance to your deck or gazebo with an outdoor chandelier. Install a ceiling fan light to improve airflow while also adding ambiance. Decorative outdoor light fixtures, like chic pendants, flush wall mounts, or outdoor sconces add the finishing touches to your decor.

Experiment with different styles of outdoor light fixtures from the same collection. This will help you create a cohesive look while also embracing your own unique style.

Outdoor Sconces

Wall-mounted lights are the ideal outdoor light fixtures for illuminating the entire perimeter of your home. Decorative outdoor sconces work well when placed on either side of garage doors or entryways. Not only do they add a touch of style, but the extra illumination will increase safety when transitioning between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Outdoor sconces aren’t just for entryways. Since you can mount them on any vertical surface, feel free to get creative. You may try placing them along the interior of your pergola, around your pool, or around the perimeter of sunken seating areas. Not only can they provide the perfect amount of illumination, but many designers use the light and shadows they create to add another layer of interest to their outdoor lighting design.

Landscape Lights

Landscape lights are one of the most popular forms of outdoor lighting. They’re versatile and can serve many purposes. One of the most important is providing functional lighting to illuminate high-traffic spaces. When outdoor areas aren’t paved or the ground isn’t flat, this is critical for ensuring the safety of your guests.

To avoid distracting from the rest of your outdoor design, add evenly spaced step lights or recessed ground lights along pathways. This is an excellent option for illuminating the area in an unobtrusive way. Otherwise, it’s easy to turn pathways into a focal point by choosing unique path lights. These outdoor light fixtures come in a variety of styles and finishes, giving you plenty of ways to embrace your creativity.

Landscape lights, or garden lights, will add interesting design elements to your outdoor space while also improving the area’s overall look and feel. Use landscape lighting to illuminate your driveway or highlight natural elements in your garden. The right landscape lights will also draw attention to your home’s architectural features and built-in elements like pergolas and trellises.

Don’t forget to add outdoor lighting to your recreational areas! This will extend your living space and elevate your lifestyle. Once you begin looking at your outdoor areas with an eye for lighting design, you’ll be surprised by how many opportunities you find.

Outdoor Flood Lights

The ultimate in functional outdoor lighting fixtures, flood lights will improve your home’s safety and security. Outdoor flood lights make it easier to keep an eye on children and pets after the sun goes down.  They’ll also make would-be burglars or destructive animals think twice about coming into your yard.

Many homeowners install their outdoor flood lights so the illumination bounces off the face of the building. This is an excellent way to light the space and add aesthetic appeal. If you do this, however, don’t forget to add outdoor light fixtures to the corners of your yard. This will ensure that the entire space is well-lit and without any blind spots.

Your home’s outdoor lighting is just as important as your interior décor. Elevate your space by exploring our wide selection of outdoor light fixtures today!

Outdoor Finishes and Materials

Sarasota, albeit beautiful, is tough on outdoor lighting. The hot, hot sun combined with the higher salt content in the air can corrode fixtures much faster than in other areas of the country. Most of the outdoor fixtures we sell are cast aluminum which holds up very well especially with a bit of maintenance in the form of spray-on car wax twice a year. Outdoor fixtures made of a plastic/stone composite have gained popularity recently as well. This is due to an increase in style options and the fact that they carry a Lifetime Warranty on the finish. And don’t forget Copper or Brass which tend to be pricier but look great for years. Copper and Brass outdoor fixtures also carry a Lifetime Warranty and have shown to add resale value to a home.
