Farmhouse Outdoor Wall Light
Modern farmhouse style makes every living space a cozy getaway. Marked by exposed beams, wood furniture and accessories that accent the décor and rough materials like old brick such as on a fireplace, farmhouse style is a rustic, yet inviting home-away-from-home. When the interior is complete, one must look to the outdoors to expand the welcoming charm. Farmhouse outdoor wall lights match the same décor. Often farmhouse outdoor lighting uses a traditional approach hearkening back to simpler times when each mounted lantern had a candle instead of a bulb. The traditional lantern look is immediately recognizable as a classic, appealing design, with many mimicking the candle look with lengthy, candelabra-style bulbs. Many farmhouse outdoor wall sconces contain a design of angled metal lines, forming a simple shape. Glass panels form a layer between the lines, keeping the bulb within. Sometimes the glass is speckled with a watery texture to add an extra sense of cozy, rural feeling.
A new style development close to farmhouse style is Barn Outdoor Wall Lighting. As more people move into rural areas to escape the city life, a new trend of fixing up or even living inside old barns has emerged. This type of wall lighting mimics the feeling of living in a barn or on a farm, offering a similar comforting look.
Other Considerations
Farmhouse style fixtures follow the same rules as other fixtures. Ensure the piece is the right size for the room and does not clash with the existing décor. Rough, natural materials such as bricks, wood and stone are staples of this style. When mounting a wall light outside, check the location rating to see if it can be exposed to water with a wet rating or simply near water with a damp rating. The rural life may require stargazing depending on location, so make sure each piece, if required, has Dark Sky compliance.
As always, think about the layering of the light in each room and outdoors and think about how many individual lights are desired. The farmhouse style brings a cozy look with each piece, but too many and the warm ambiance may become a too bright glow.
