Lighting a modern patio and yards should reflect the modern aesthetic of your home, so choosing the appropriate fixture is key. It’s simply not good enough to go the big box store and jam some solar lights around and call it a day.
Rather, thoughtfully chosen modern outdoor lights should be your mantra.
MiCasa has stunning interior and exterior design pictures that focus on contemporary design so I knew it was my only destination for this type of post.
Whether your contemporary outdoor lighting is wall mounted, uplighting foliage or simply an indoor/outdoor lamp, make sure it creates enough illumination to enjoy the space once the sun has set.
Mood lighting is all-important and your outdoor space should embrace that notion just as much as your interior.
Modern patio outdoor lighting can also be sculptural. While some outdoor lighting can be or appear purely functional, they need not be.
High style can also define your lighting. This particular white light not only balances the outdoor furniture, it is architecturally interesting on its own.
If you ever hope to embrace al fresco dining, lighting is key. How wild is this oversized outdoor floor lamp? No worries if your outdoor dining space does not have overhead lighting.
I think it’s quite chic to use indoor/outdoor floor lamps to illuminate an outdoor space. The good news is that they are multifunctional and can be easily moved around depending upon your lighting needs.
1. The Kenroy Home Tanglewood Outdoor Floor Lamp also looks smashing indoors.
2. Retro modern defines the WAC Janus White LED Outdoor Wall Light.
3. The Hinkley Saturn Steel Outdoor Hanging Light with a stainless steel finish would look beautiful over an outdoor dining table.
4. The brushed aluminum Bay Crest outdoor wall light reminds me of a modern version of the old school galvanized barn light.
5. Keep walkways safe and stylish with the Hinkley Cascade Titanium Outdoor Post Lantern, which features a titanium finish and clear etched organic glass.
