Spanish Modern Outdoor Wall Lights

Spanish Style Outdoor Wall Lights

If desiring a specific cultural look, consider Spanish style outdoor wall lights. Invoking a sense of the architecture of Spain, these wall lights use thick and elaborate metal displays to make the home feel like a castle or villa. Spanish-style homes are marked by stucco, terracotta roofs, exposed beams and colorful tiles. If the home is already in a Spanish style, then Spanish style lighting will only add to the established décor, but if the home is not Spanish style, then Spanish style outdoor lighting can add a touch of the culture to the space.

Outdoor wall sconces are typically used to add additional layers of light to the outside of the home, while taking up minimal space on a wall. They are best placed near a door to highlight an address, add a layer of security, to signal to guests where the entrance is or several other reasons. Outdoor sconces can also be placed anywhere on a wall outside the home, such as the corner of the home, as long as the space would benefit from another layer of light.

Other Considerations

Spanish Wall Sconces need to be measured to ensure the dimensions work properly with the space around it. The incorrect size of a fixture can clash with the space around it, whether the wall light is too big or too small. For an outdoor fixture, the most important aspect that must be checked is the location rating. With a wet or damp rating, the wall light can be directly exposed to water or merely nearby it, such as under a covered patio.

Additionally, transitional outdoor wall lighting can be an ideal choice for decorating the outside of the home because of the appeal of the style. Transitional takes from other styles, forming a pleasant mix. This is particularly appealing if the home is not Spanish styled, but has a few Spanish wall lights or sconces. That way, the sconce does not stand out in a clashing manner, but rather is part of a transitional style décor that is present in the rest of the home as well.
