Wall Sconce, Modern Ceiling Fan Team Up in Outdoor Space

Porches, Garages, & Home Exteriors, Residential Inspiration Betty L Leave a Comment on Wall Sconce, Modern Ceiling Fan Team Up in Outdoor Space

Long, narrow spaces can be tricky when it comes to lighting yet we found a beautiful example of an outdoor living space that relies on space-saving barn wall sconces to provide gentle, ambient lighting. Instead of adding light fixtures to the ceiling fans which would overpower this restful space, the designer opted for these sconces that hug the walls and provide soft, unobtrusive lighting. These sconces are very similar to our Barn Light Arlington Sconce, a low-profile fixture characterized by a decorative wall plate along with a slender gooseneck arm. Offered in 8″ or 10″ shade sizes, the Arlington would make the perfect addition to porches such as this, garages, workshops, or even indoors in bathrooms or hallways. Available in authentic powder coat finish colors ranging from Textured Black to Barn Red and Industrial Grey, this American-made light adds a hint of nostalgia to even the most modern spaces!

Porcelain Enamel Sconces: Generous Style in a Small Package

How-To, Lighting 101 Betty L Leave a Comment on Porcelain Enamel Sconces: Generous Style in a Small Package

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know that when it comes to exterior lighting, porcelain lighting is a wise choice thanks to its long-lasting, glass enamel coating that never fades in the sun and is easy to maintain. Yes, porcelain enamel lighting is a bit more expensive than powder coated fixtures, but if you want to purchase a light, install it, then simply admire it every day, then porcelain enamel is absolutely worth the investment. A simple soap-and-water clean up is all it takes to keep porcelain enamel looking like new. This is a huge plus for business owners, and home owners for that matter, who don’t want to buy lights that fade and fall apart within six months.

When you’re searching for that perfect light, you may come across all sorts of fixtures that look amazing yet when you check the size dimensions, you realize it’s too tall, too wide, or too deep for your space. Lighting smaller spaces can be tricky but you do have options. While floor lamps with traditional shades can overpower an area and table lamps hog valuable table room, wall sconces provide indirect lighting that offers a pleasant glow to the room without taking up too much space.

When Sarah in Brentwood, Tennessee, decided to add on to her 1907 farmhouse, she wanted to match the vernacular of the existing structure with materials, colors, and fixtures. After planning and saving “for years” as Sarah relates, the actual construction of the addition took nine months and was recently completed. gooseneck_warehouse_shade_galvanized_exterior.jpeg
