Whether you’re designing a new deck or figuring out how to upgrade your old one, we’re sad to say that lighting is one of the last things you think about for your outdoor space. It shouldn’t be that way, and we’re here to show you the light (literally). Designing your lighting at the same time as you design your deck will help you to implement amazing patio lighting ideas into your design and still be able to efficiently run the wiring BEFORE you put in plank one.
Think of this as a jump start for inspiration to create a truly amazing outdoor oasis for you and your family; providing not just the patio lighting ideas but the impetus to hop off that couch and make it happen! We can certainly help with the perfect lighting – we have a phenomenal selection available (many ready to ship within 24-hours) to help make that dream a reality.
Clustered Brilliance
The beauty of the Maxim Lighting Bahama pendant lights (available in small, medium and large sizes) is in the hand formed shades of fiber twine, coated with a polyurethane material for strength and durability. Ideal for covered patios and outdoor living spaces, the combination of these integrated LED pendants creates a secure outdoor environment with a style all its own.
Nautical two-fer
This scene shows one of our favorite patio styles – the classic barn light – updated for today’s more modern homes. Here we have both the Kichler Lighting Pier 49992BK convertible pendant lights over the dining table and the Kichler Lighting Pier 49991BK gooseneck wall lamp over the French doors kicking out perfect illumination for this space (helped along by the white interior of the shades, reflecting as much light as possible).
Multiplicity at its best
Designed for outdoor gathering spaces, gather together multiples of both the Hinkley lighting Calder 1511BZ conical outdoor lights and the Hinkley Lighting Calder 1512BZ cylindrical lights to create a relaxed, festive mood. Fully wet-rated, these pendants can be either chain or cable hung depending on the style that suits your space the best.
Classically modern
The inspiration of the Maxim Lighting Savannah VX 40912CLBO small outdoor wall light comes from a mashup of classic colonial design with more modern rounded features. Available in 1-, 2- and 3-light sizes, you can also get the textured black oxide finish on the outside with an interior plate finished in antique copper to really set your outdoor lighting apart from the pack.
Iceberg ahead
Inspired by the calving icebergs of Antarctica, we love how the Crystorama Lighting Glacier GLA-9702-OP-BC minimalist outdoor wall light features a smaller and narrower bottom section with a larger, broader top piece. The contrast of the black charcoal finish with the white opal glass panels (also available in clear glass) is a dramatic addition to your outdoor oasis.
Piercing light
It’s amazing what a difference a little landscape lighting can make to an outdoor living space. The Kichler Lighting 15871 hammered roof path light has a uniquely pierced centennial brass shade that sheds decoratively patterned LED light over your shrubs and greenery.
Modern brilliance
The mid-century design of the DweLED chamber WS-W48625BK outdoor wall-mount lights offers both high style and maintenance-free illumination. Available in black or bronze finishes in four sizes, the aluminum construction and reliable LED lighting have been crafted to make your outdoor space shine (both literally and figuratively).
Overstated elegance
Start with a matte black cast aluminum frame, add in beveled glass to refract the light just so and top it off with warm white candle sleeves for a timeless elegance with a contemporary edge. The Hinkley Lighting Weymouth 20015BK outdoor wall lantern (available in black or oil-rubbed bronze) is crafted with an overstated frame whose clean lines will modernize your outdoor space without sacrificing the traditional appeal you long for.
Coastal armor
Our customers who live near the ocean have raved about the Kichler Lighting 11310BKTLED outdoor wall lanterns, boasting on how well the special Kichler Climates composite material withstands harsh elements (like saltwater and extreme temperatures). We love that the modern look and clean lines fit in perfectly with coastal or modern style homes.
No batteries, but the specialty bulb is included
Mixed metals are all the rage these days, and the implementation on the Hinkley Lighting Sag Harbor 2845BK-LL outdoor wall lantern pairs a knurled (read: bumpy) brass socket with a simple, clean cage in black, antique brushed aluminum or burnished bronze finishes. The included unique LED light bulb (fitting in a standard medium E26 socket) is sure to be an eyecatcher.
Cubist’s dream
Suitable for installations under covered roofs (patios, covered porches), the Progress Lighting Shademore P550118-31M outdoor pendant light has embraced its architectural heritage to create a minimalistic design. Connected geometric cubes surround an elegant, marbleized acrylic shade creating a striking focal point while delivering an inviting, warm glow.
Good things come in small packages
This is one of those rare devices that can go just about anywhere… The Kichler Lighting 16141 mini in-ground light was originally built for the outdoors (fully wet rated) but using it in a deck situation takes lighting to a whole new level. It’s got three field-changeable optics to provide a 20-, 40- or 75-degree light angle so you can get the light exactly where you need it.
Water glass wonder
Upgrade your traditional home with the attention to detail crafted into the Hinkley Lighting Raley 1609 outdoor traditional wall lantern. Cast aluminum construction sporting a museum black finish are highlighted by clear waterglass panels to create a dignified style statement.
Nod to barns of the past
Celebrating the austere simplicity and functionality of America’s architecturally distinct corrugated meta-clad buildings, the Progress Lighting Edgecliff P550119-141 outdoor hanging pendant makes a sculptural gesture to its traditional roots. Either end of the frame sports silver mesh patterned glass, adding a luxurious touch to the rustic design.
Adding the right outdoor lighting will not just extend the amount of time you have available to wallow in all that outdoor goodness, but it’ll increase the safety of your guests at the same time.
