There are a number of considerations when deciding the right outdoor lighting for your home. Ben Marshall, Creative Director of Hudson Valley Lighting Group has a range of tips on how to implement good lighting design outside.
Consider style
The first thing to consider when it comes to outdoor lighting is the exterior of your home. Is it Mid-century, Tuscan, Craftsman or Traditional? Selecting the proper fixtures to adorn your space is key to creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes sense and is also inviting. Post exterior lights are a nice addition to a home that’s often overlooked. They add a grounding presence to the front of your home.
Size matters
Most exterior lights come in what we call “families”; different sizes of the same design. I recommend taking the basic measurements of the fixture you are considering on the surfaces as to which it will be installed. Proportions are key. Selecting lighting that is either too large or too small will make your space look awkward.
Take your time
As long as J-boxes are in place or you are replacing existing lights, most fixtures can be installed by yourself or with two people. Naturally take the right precautions, turning off the power being the main one. If you are adding new non-existing lights to your home then an electrician is key.
Where are you?
When looking for outdoor lighting it is important to look for finish materials that will hold up in the appropriate environment. Beach homes can be tricky as the salt in the air can destroy and weather cheap fixtures. Be sure to look for wet location labels. It is important especially with pendant fixtures that you are adding to an exterior living space. If the patio exposed to weather a damp location fixture won’t work.
