Need to add some Curb Appeal? Let your Porch Light Shine!

If your front entry looks worse for the wear, an outdated light fixture doesn’t help. Guests see wall lights the moment they approach your door, so upgrade them with something dazzling. But which one?  Your center has lots of options that can feel overwhelming, but narrowing the search is actually pretty easy. Just make a list of the material, color, features and glass type you’d like.  Metal is a popular material, but outdoor wall lights also come in aluminum, plastic and stainless steel options. Colors range from a timeless black to bronze, brushed nickel, chrome and copper.

As for features, consider the light fixture’s weather and rust resistance, along with options that match your needs. For instance, is the light fixture waterproof? Is the light dimmable, or automated to turn on at dusk and off at dawn? Then, choose between clear, textured and frosted glass. Plan your dream outdoor lighting setup before setting foot in the home center for a remarkable, functional result.
