Why We Love Farmhouse Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is absolutely essential but that doesn’t mean that it needs to be boring or mundane. With our selection of farmhouse outdoor lighting, you can combine natural materials with modern, industrial aesthetics that stand out against the landscape without clashing with it. Modern farmhouse outdoor lighting pushes the boundaries of technology and design with surprising shapes and bright lights that transform your outdoor spaces. Create safely illuminated stairs, designate carefully cut paths, or outline your property with these stunning lights.
Where Modern Farmhouse Outdoor Lighting Works Best
As long as you’re employing the appropriate light, outdoor lighting can be used anywhere you need it. Waterproof and made to withstand the elements, farmhouse exterior lighting brings style and sophistication to a variety of different fixtures. Post lighting shines brightest when outlining paths, casting a wide 360-degree glow that illuminates large swathes of ground. Wall sconces provide beautiful ambient lighting that’s perfect for lighting front porches, brightening up decks, and adding a little glimmer to driveway markers. And surprisingly, even chandeliers can find a place to feel at home outdoors. Suspend them above gazebos or covered porches for a dramatic and sophisticated lighting effect. Farmhouse outdoor lighting fixtures can continue your homestyle outdoors, or add a new layer to your home’s decor in a way that’s both practical and ornamental.
Favorite Shapes & Styles of Modern Farmhouse Exterior Lighting
Modern farmhouse exterior lighting is available in a wide variety of different shapes, styles, designs, and materials. And although all of these stunning fixtures dazzle with their own unique shine, some really stand out. We love the look of a familiar lantern shape paired with sleek shades. They have a surprisingly modern feel that looks right at home in the outdoors. There’s also something undeniably appealing about the antiquity of an Edison bulb. Farmhouse outdoor lighting that features these special bulbs in an exposed manner brings a certain delicateness to the sometimes heavy feel of outdoor lighting. And, for a more elegant feel turn to a sleek chandelier with simplistic features and minimalist accents.
How to Choose the Perfect Farmhouse Outdoor Light Fixture
How and where you’ll be using your farmhouse style outdoor lighting will be the predominant factor in determining which light is right for you. If you need to illuminate stairs, look for a small wall sconce that casts a wide, downward glow. However, for expansive all-around lighting look for a post light. The added height will ensure that it adequately illuminates a large expanse of ground and thanks to the statuesque presence, it will make an even bigger style impact. Don’t forget your outdoor eating areas. If you typically take your outdoor meals on a covered porch, adding a chandelier is an easy way to create a dramatic impact and add a touch of sophistication to the space.
Other Considerations
Farmhouse exterior lights allow you to develop style outside of your home in a way that’s both functional and fashionable. For other options that complement this style, look to either nautical outdoor lighting or metal outdoor lighting. They each offer different accents and materials that highlight the different aspects of farmhouse outdoor lighting. Or, perhaps you’ve fallen so in love with this outdoor lighting scheme that you want to continue it indoors. Luckily, it’s extremely easy to bring this style inside your home. Farmhouse ceiling lights can make subtle statements with understated accents or offer dramatic silhouettes with large chandeliers. And for small spaces, farmhouse wall sconces offer similar stylistic options in a much more compact package.
