Outdoor lighting suggestions

Question

I need some opinions on outdoor lighting! I need a hanging pendant in front of the door, and then a matching wall mount above the slider. Here are my thoughts so far...any suggestions or opinions would be great!

Jeanette S · Answer

With the style of your house, any of the lights you have shown would work fine. Just make sure you have enough clearance for the door! Lights add a lot to a home, but I have found that they also draw insects. I have a cream colored house and they make nasty spots on my paint. So we put up white rope Christmas lights on the ledge inside the porch...they do not draw bugs!

1st choice...

Jen · Answer

#1

Rae Busch · Answer

If it were my home, I'd choose #1 - love the lines of the metal accent. So graceful.

Andrea Robinson · Answer

#1 is my vote and rope lights are a nice addition around porches. We'll be putting solar ones on our new front deck.

Kenny24 · Answer

I like the second choice

Wendy Johnson · Answer

Both are very nice. I prefer the look of the first one but I am not good enough to tell if it is a better look for your house...will wait for the after pics

the first one fits the house style better I think......

Bethar · Answer

I also like the first one, guess it depends on the size. Your house is adorable looks like it should be on a beach somewhere.

Pam Shoesmith Probasco · Answer

I love the first one.  Where did you find it?

Call me Crazy but I would put up a crystal chandelier and matching wall sconces It is dramatic yet elegant. People always use those outdoor lighting things that I always find ugly and boring. But I am pretty eccentric and eclectic.

I want your house:-)

Linda · Answer

I think recessed lights in the eaves would be wonderful. Put under eaves of porch, and also roofline. Keeps bugs away from the doors and showcase the lines of the house.

Shari Veater · Answer

I like the first and third lights...and LOVE your house!!

Erica Silver · Answer

Gotta go with Crystal chandeliers and matching sconces!

I like the second the best but I would really like the first so much if the glass were clear instead of frosted.

Jan Estabrook · Answer

I think that the 2nd is a better fit. Beautiful home.

Donna · Answer

Love the look of your house. I think somewhat of a craftsman style lighting.  Check out hgtv.com show curb appeal.  They have some makeovers with your style home.  I tried to copy a rod iron style lantern from their site but copying failed. Something with a darker color would show up nicely with your front door.

Cathy · Answer

Love #1!!!!

Jim Marciano · Answer

I like the first one the best, which one did you decide on? Beautiful home too!

Marluce · Answer

Nice nota 10... Sua página é criativa ... aliás são perfeita.. Parabens e Sucessos!

Johnavallance82 · Answer

Your first choice would be my choice.

Mogie · Answer

We went with motion sensing lights. Lowes had a very good selection and they don't all look so ugly anymore. But I live in a bad neighborhood so they are sort of necessary.
