Why We Love Industrial Outdoor Wall Sconces
In the same way that lighting can transform the look of your home’s interiors, outdoor lighting can add style and sophistication to your outdoor spaces. Industrial outdoor wall sconces bring the strong, sturdy industrial elegance to your patios, front porches, entryways, and decks. Outdoor sconces work well almost anywhere outside of the home, and in addition to providing exquisite lighting fixtures, they ensure that your paths, steps, and doorways are safely illuminated. These industrial outdoor lights are made of bold, unfinished long-lasting materials and paired with intentional, modern designs that result in an alluring outdoor sconce.
Where Industrial Outdoor Wall Lights Work the Best
Some of their most common applications are framing front doors and entryways with a welcoming glow and setting the design tone for the rest of the home, but industrial outdoor wall lights will light up the night anywhere. In addition to providing light for safety and perception, you can use your industrial outdoor wall sconces to highlight and draw attention to different architectural pieces of your home. Placing several on the back wall of a house to light up a deck will result in a warm, well-lit space perfect for family gatherings, quiet dinners, and spirited parties. Because these fixtures are wall-mounted, they won’t crowd small porches, patios, and gazebos, making them the perfect small-space outdoor lighting solution.
Favorite Types of Outdoor Industrial Wall Sconces
Industrial outdoor wall sconces bring character, style, and design to the outside of your home. Fixtures with more modern influences tend to adhere to sleek but rigid square and rectangular shapes, relying on unique shades, robust materials, and exposed bulbs to convey their fresh style. In contrast to that, more traditional industrial outdoor wall lights pose a striking, familiar lantern shape in bold, heavy metals paired with airy and elegant glass shades to achieve a similar effect. The result is an eye-catching, yet deceivingly simple light fixture that pairs well with many other different design styles.
How to Choose the Perfect Industrial Outdoor Light
Choosing the perfect light all depends on how you intend to use it. If your primary interest is safety and floodlighting, then you’ll want to focus on industrial outdoor wall sconces with clear shades or that are open-faced. On the other hand, if you want to highlight a specific portion of your home, choose one that offers directional lighting capabilities. If you live near water or in an area with a lot of wildlife, consider a dark sky outdoor wall sconce. These lights are specially rated to ensure that they don’t disturb the natural habits of the animals in the surrounding environment.
Other Considerations
If the bold materials and thoughtful designs are what drew you to industrial outdoor wall sconces, it’s worth considering some other styles that have a similar feel. Art deco outdoor lighting provides a similar visual impact using bold materials and familiar silhouettes, with the addition of geometrical influences. Nautical outdoor wall sconces will pair with other industrial style fixtures or stand on their own. It employs the same natural, unfinished looking materials and pairs them with interesting textural components like ropes and exposed bulbs.
