The classic rustic, yet elegant fixtures will bathe your home in a flattering light and make patios and backyards look warm and welcoming. Spanish style exterior lighting won’t just add a traditional Spanish flair to your backyard, the shining lights also provide an extra layer of home security. With plenty of options from wall sconces to post lights, you’ll be able to find a fixture that fits in perfectly with your home.

Where Spanish Outdoor Lights Work the Best

There isn’t a place where Spanish outdoor lighting will not work, but with such elegant craftsmanship you’ll want to place them somewhere they can really shine. High-traffic areas like entryways and patios are perfect. Your guests won’t be able to help but notice them, and the light they provide will create a safe and inviting atmosphere. For a stunning, high-impact piece, add a Spanish chandelier to a gazebo. If you’re planning on using them for pathway lighting, keep in mind that they look best in evenly spaced groups. Pair this distinctive style with one of our other outdoor lighting options and create an eccentric atmosphere that’s particular to you and your home. These light fixtures offer more than just light with unique designs, so don’t be afraid to explore the possibilities.

Favorite Spanish Outdoor Wall Light Shapes

Spanish style outdoor lighting reflects traditional forms with baroque-like designs. However, there is a wide range of different shapes and styles to choose from. Many Spanish outdoor wall lights and porch lights mimic the beautifully classic lantern shape while adding some fresh elements like soft lines and clear glass for a more modern feel. The truly traditional pieces are crafted with thick metal bands and seeded glass that takes you back to the elegance of Renaissance times without forgoing modern luxury.

How to Choose the Best Spanish Outdoor Lighting Fixtures

Spanish outdoor lighting looks best in a home with more traditional features, but the eclectic style will fit in any home; it’s all about choosing the right piece. As always, double check to make sure that the fixture is wet-rated so that poor weather will not affect it. If you need entryway lighting, we think that a wall sconce works best, while post lighting is better for pathways and driveways. Many of the pieces have seeded or colored glass, making them perfect for diffusing a soft warm light that’s great for ambiance but not for task lighting. If you’ll be placing your fixtures around stairs or other areas you need bright lighting, opt for a light with clear glass.

Other Spanish Lighting Fixture Options

Bring this beautifully unique design into your home with some of our other Spanish lighting options. Spanish pendant lighting works especially well in narrow areas that would be easily overrun by the supreme elegance of Spanish chandeliers. For a smaller piece that still offers the same style of craftsmanship, look to Spanish wall sconces. The smaller profile is less dominant but still demands attention with its individuality.
