Why We Love Outdoor Lantern Sconces
Outdoor lighting adds a stately air to the exterior of your home. The subtle glow welcomes evening guests and gives your home an attractive silhouette against a dark sky. Lantern sconces embrace a popular outdoor lighting design, giving your home functional lighting that also enhances its curb appeal. Like a beacon in the night, these sconces give off enough light so you can safely navigate your grounds. The lantern's classic style exudes a touch of convivial charm that dresses up your home's façade. So many diverse styles of modern sconces make it easy to find just the right one for your house.
Where Outdoor Wall Lanterns Work Best
Generally speaking, lantern sconces work beautifully when flanking an important door of the house, such as the front door. This location makes it easy for visitors to safely approach your home and also allows you to easily see who is at the door. Patio sconces also work well on the exterior walls as you see fit, giving ample lighting for evening entertaining and moonlit walks across your property. You may find that all of the exterior doors of your home can benefit from outdoor wall sconces. Don't forget about also brightening up your driveway with a lantern sconce on either side of your garage doors! You'll find any outdoor sconce - especially one with an old world lantern aesthetic - creates an inviting welcome to your home.
A Lantern Wall Sconce for Every Style
No matter if you lean more toward the traditional end or more toward the contemporary side, you can find beautiful modern sconces to suit your style. Robust designs by Hinkley Lighting feature sturdy frames and traditional bulbs or light source options that mimic candles. The styles from Savoy House offer a bit of intricate flair in classy lanterns that elevate the aesthetic of your home's exterior. Maxim Lighting brings decidedly modern panache to your façade with the sleekest lantern sconces you've ever seen. Many other designers also offer stately wall lights to enhance the exterior of the home.
How to Choose the Best Outdoor Wall Lanterns
The outdoor wall lights you choose should coordinate nicely with your home's existing appearance while also reflecting your sense of style. Choose sconces that are roughly one-quarter of the size of your door for the ideal proportion, and use care not to underwhelm with a too-small fixture. You can even make a stronger statement with your outdoor lighting by choosing fixtures that are closer to one-third the size of the door. Remember to complement the coloring of your house with the metal finishes of the lantern sconces that you select. Finally, pick a pair of lanterns that you find to be inviting and welcoming, giving your home a fantastic first impression for all of your guests.

Other Considerations
If you like the look and feel of patio sconces outside, you may also love rustic wall sconces for the interior and exterior of your home. Their attractive designs cast an inviting glow on the walls, offering functional light and instant ambiance. Lantern pendant lighting also brightens your favorite spaces with a hospitable air, adding a touch of idyllic charm that warms and welcomes. And with beautiful intentions, landscape lighting like path lights, spotlights, floodlights and well lights accentuate your home's features beautifully after the sun has set. These lights create a magical sparkle of light around your home's exterior—in garden beds, near trees, around your walkway, and at the steps—truly upping the ante on the wow factor and curb appeal of your home.
