Exterior Light Ideas



The exterior lighting of a home can enhance the beauty of your property, improve safety and security and allow for more outdoor entertaining.




 "Decorating rules" would say to coordinate the style of your exterior light fixtures with the style of your home.



 Mission style lighting works well with Art and Craft style
 homes because of its straight edges and clean looks.


 A  Colonial style home looks very inviting with copper,
black iron or glass “stagecoach” style lighting fixtures.  


Sleek, geometrical shaped fixtures work well with a more Modern home.

This is all true, however, I also really enjoy mixing different styles. 

The contemporary lighting fixtures on this home 
enhance the more rustic exterior features.


Your home should be a product of who you are and what you like. In my opinion, don’t let “decorating rules” totally influence your decorating vision. Styles came about because one person had the courage to go against the trend and do what they loved. You never know you could be the one to create the next style.











Take Care,
Stacy
