Exterior Decorating With Outdoor Post Lights
Even on a limited budget, outdoor post lights are not only functional, but can be an affordable accent to your home’s exterior.
Thinking about re-decorating the exterior of your home? Want to make a great first impression? Updating your outdoor post lights can make your old home look new again. There are hundreds of styles to which choose, and with a little online research, you could find just the right set of lights to fit your budget.
You don’t need a pro, be your own lighting designer!
Here’s a tip:
- From the end of your driveway, or from street view, take two pictures of your home, one day, and one night.
-Then, as you research online, visualize what your new lights would look like against the pictures you’ve taken.
Determine the style and illumination:
Outdoor post light styles include Victorian, Art Deco, traditional, Old World, Contemporary and many more.
Do you have a Contemporary styled home? This type of home is the most popular style built in the US in the last 40 years. Designs can range from flat or sloping roofs, high windows, front facing garages; brick built, aluminum siding, wood, and so on. So be mindful, when picking out your new post lights, that you choose those that would not clash with facade of the home.
Outdoor post lights come in a variety of illuminations ranging from 40W to 150W. If you are replacing old post lights, you may want to purchase the same wattage to maintain the aesthetics of your home’s exterior. Consult an electrician if you wish to install post lights with a higher wattage than the ones you had before. Also, it would be wise to consult your local municipality, and/or townhouse association rules to assure that the increased illumination is code, or permissible.
