Outdoor Sconces (wall lights)
Like all fixtures, exterior sconces serve both a functional and decorative function. It’s important to consider both elements when choosing an outdoor light:
- Function- Typically wall sconces project light both outwards and down, while some also cast light upwards. Because the maximum wattage is specific to each fixture, make sure that the capacity matches your needs. For a contemporary look, consider bulkhead lights .
- Aesthetics- Outdoor sconces come in every style from minimalist Modern to ornate Victorian. An outdoor wall lantern is always a good choice. You can choose a style that matches your architecture, or contrasts with it. For example, a simple contemporary exterior sconce can give a modern feel to an older home (although a traditional sconce on a modern home probably is not a wise idea). Like a piece of jewelry, a sconce can either become of focal point or blend into the larger composition.
Curvy Traditional Outdoor Sconce
Make a strong style statement at your doorstep with simple outdoor lights. A beautiful sconce on each side of the front door can add to the design of your home, welcoming guests and providing a measure of security.
If the exterior of your house has a feel of formality, you might consider a traditional outdoor sconce like the Troubadour Medium Outdoor Wall-Mounted Lantern. With lots of curves in the ribbed glass shade and the intricately detailed metalwork, this light sets itself apart from the pack of more ordinary fixtures. The ebony pearl finish adds another beautiful element to the lantern's great design.

These Bulkhead Lights are Anything but Bulky
For many of you, choosing outdoor lighting may not be at the top of your favorites list when it comes to designing the home of your dreams. However, creating a beautiful home design inside and out is all in the details, even the ones that may seem the most insignificant like choosing bulkhead lights.
Bulkhead lights--originally installed on the walls of ships where rugged, weather-proof lighting was required--have been given new life and shiny new opportunities to provide not only much-needed lighting, but beauty to a very different structure, the home.
The Poseidon Bulkhead Light in contemporary bronze is proof, that exterior home lighting can be as gorgeous as it is functional. Use several to light an entry sidewalk or a pair to illuminate either side of the front door.

Beautiful Exterior Wall Sconces
Well placed wall sconces illuminate and adorn your home’s exterior for all to see and enjoy. In addition to their decorative nature, these exterior wall sconces are created with a top cover which improves night visibility and saves energy over up lights that cast out to the night sky and offer little light below. Choose two sconces to put at either side of your front door for a dramatic touch.
The Hinkley Regency Sconce in bronze features a candelabra base and matte glass with metal detailing.
The Museum Bronze sconce of the Hinkley Chateau Collection features intricately detailed etched designs on a matte glass set in a bronze base.
The Buckingham Pocket Wall Sconce by Minka Lavery is energy star rate and incredibly attractive with a hand painted Prussian gold finish and French scavo glass.
