Why We Love Outdoor Art Deco Lighting
With streamlined elegance, geometric shapes, and a timeless appeal, art deco outdoor lighting brings a decorative touch and practical functionality to your outdoor spaces. Available in wall sconces, chandeliers, and post lighting you can find a fixture that will set the tone for the rest of your home and cast a bright light in even the darkest of nights. The polished craftsmanship combined with delicate details and pleasing patterns makes art deco exterior lighting a favorite amongst homes across the country.
Decor that Works Best with Art Deco Outdoor Lights
To make your art deco outdoor lights really stand out, pair them with mid-century modern and minimalist decor. The sleek lines and symmetry of both styles will blend well together, while the understated ornamental aspects and muted colors of contemporary pieces will really let the more elaborate patterns and bright components of deco outdoor lighting shine. If you’re a maximalist, combining art deco exterior lighting with something like a nautical outdoor wall sconce will add another visually stimulating texture that won’t be overwhelming. When mixing decor styles it’s best to stick to a similar color palette so things don’t look too mix-matched.
Favorite Types of Art Deco Outdoor Lights
Art deco wall lights are a wonderful choice for bringing your personal style outdoors. The geometric patterns and perfect symmetry stands out brilliantly on otherwise blank and boring exterior walls. Art deco lamp posts put their most elaborate foot forward by floating the ornamental lights above the ground and free of backgrounds. You’ll be able to appreciate the design and craftsmanship while simultaneously lighting pathways and entrances for safety. To really put your lights on display, hang an art deco outdoor chandelier above a gazebo or covered porch. It’ll be a stunning centerpiece that fits aesthetic wants and practical needs.
How to Choose the Perfect Art Deco Outdoor Light
First, decide how and where you want to use your art deco outdoor light. For outdoor architectural lighting, a wall sconce with directional light output is your best choice. If you want to create a warm welcoming atmosphere that establishes the mood of the rest of your home, post lighting works well at entrance and exit points and the art deco aspects will bring a much-needed touch of decorative appeal. In enclosed and small spaces, opt for more petite light fixtures. Art deco lighting packs a punch no matter the size of the fixture, so there’s no need to worry about any design elements getting lost or overshadowed.
Other Considerations
Art deco outdoor lighting isn’t the only way to bring this classic, elaborate style to your home. Indoors, art deco wall sconces provide the same aesthetic feel in a variety of different shapes, textures, patterns, and sizes. They’ll work in any room and depending on your choice of fixture, they can harmonize well with existing decor or make a standout statement on their own. Available in bright, colorful pieces or with classic metallic finished, you’ll have no trouble finding an art deco light that suits you.
