Lunar Sconces Highlight This Coastal Front Porch

It is a common saying to never judge a book by its cover, but it is always best to make a strong impression. The front porch of this North Carolina home does exactly that – it leaves visitors remembering its clean lines and tropical feel. Yellow shaker siding is offset by an aqua porch floor and ceiling, while the custom made pale green shutters provide a decorative coastal element without being too overpowering. Crisp, white rocking chairs coordinate with that of a nearby porch railing and gladly invite guests to sit and stay awhile. However, what really stands out on this front porch are the rustic outdoor wall sconces found on either side of the front door!

Outdoor lighting serves many purposes when placed near an entryway, while adding personality to the exterior of your home. When choosing your exterior lighting, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1.) What style is your home? Selecting wall sconces that fit with your home’s historic, traditional, or modern exterior is critical in creating an overall, cohesive look.

2.) What size fixtures would look best? A good rule of thumb is that the fixture should measure approximately ¼ the height of the entryway.

3.) Would you like to have a fixture on either side of the entryway, or will one fixture provide sufficient lighting?

To achieve a look similar to this open and airy porch, consider the Barn Light Lunar Wall Sconce in our Rosewood finish. The Lunar Wall Sconce has a look similar to the sconces on this front porch, with a mid century, layered look, and the option for a clear glass globe. The Lunar Sconce is also available in different sizes, ranging from 8” to 18”, as well as over 52 different finish options and various glass choices. Regardless of your home’s style, if your front porch needs a touch of modern innovation, then Barn Light Electric‘s collection of modern, traditional, or rustic wall sconces will leave your guests with a lasting impression!
