Colonial Lantern Lighting

Did you know that lantern-style lights are good options for your home’s exterior? Colonial light fixtures, in particular, imbue the walls with a timeless beauty that will delight you for years to come. Black finishes are, of course, the favorite color palette for these fixtures. However, colonial outdoor lighting, unlike Spanish-style lanterns, have straight lines instead of ornate constructions. Moreover, the metal is not overwhelming, but it is instead tempered with delicate glass accents.

Our Favorite Colonial Light Fixtures

The Inglenook by Quoizel is the type of colonial style lighting outdoor surfaces look great featuring because of the Tiffany glass panels that let you match the color of the brick or stucco to the sconce. For something a little less colorful, there is the Stonington by the same manufacturer. These colonial outdoor light fixtures combine black metal construction with clear water glass. The result is a presentation that is solid but without having a heavy appearance. If you are unafraid to add natural stone to the mix, you cannot go wrong with the Zephyr outdoor wall lantern that features frosted glass and is a good option for the home with a Craftman construction.In addition to lanterns, there are also damp-rated pendants in the colonial style outdoor lighting that homeowners prefer.

How can you transition from building illumination to landscape lighting? The easiest step is the installation of colonial lamp post lighting at the entrance to your property. From there, landscape lighting in the same color palette lines the path to the front door. When you favor colonial outdoor pendant lights, we recommend focusing attention on landscape fixtures that have small housings and larger lighting surfaces.
