Outdoor Lamps

Why Choose An Outdoor Lamp?

Outdoor lamps are the perfect addition to any patio, deck, or garden space to increase the ambiance, beauty, and usability of your outdoor areas. Outdoor floor lamps and outdoor table lamps are great options to outfit your outdoor spaces while maintaining the overall aesthetic of your home.

Choosing Which Outdoor Lamp Is Right For You

When selecting an outdoor lamp, decide where you need more light and what style you think would be best for your space. For a more coastal inspired space, a metal lamp in black, white, or blue would look great along with more rustic designs wrapped in rattan or faux seagrass. For a more farmhouse modern design or Scandinavian-inspired space, outdoor floor and table lamps in shades of gray, beige, white, black, and brown are all possibilities. For a bright and bold contemporary look, opt for table and floor lamps in colorful hues for an eye-catching outdoor oasis. Outdoor lamps can also provide varying levels of light, so take into consideration if you are looking for direct or indirectly diffused light for your space. Lastly, consider how many lighting fixtures you need and where they should be located. An expansive outdoor living area could require multiple table and floor lamps to be properly lit, making sure each seating area has a lamp or two to make the space comfortable and easy to access. 

What Else to Think About When Buying an Outdoor Lamp?

The biggest thing to look for when selecting an outdoor lamp is to make sure that it is in fact wet rated to ensure it will be able to withstand weather conditions if left outdoors. Some lamps may be labeled as damp rated meaning they can be used outdoors, but must be in well-covered areas or else they may break. Outdoor lamps are excellent additions to your current landscape lighting scheme including bollards, post lights, wall sconces, and pendants. Combining multiple lighting designs together helps create a cohesive look, adds safety and security, as well as adding additional curb appeal to your home.

LED lights are a brighter white than traditional lights, are more powerful while utilizing less energy, and tend to last for years of use. These features mean they are the perfect option for any outdoor space as they will increase the ambiance, safety, and allow you to use your outside spaces well into the night.
