Maximize Your Outdoor Lighting

Done right, outdoor light fixtures can highlight your home's architectural features or garden design. They also can provide additional security by illuminating darker areas around your home. All of the lights in this collection can double as indoor lights as well. Here are some examples of where to place outdoor lights.

• Use them to illuminate, entryways, garages and walkways for increased safety after dark. Floodlights are also another option for brightening garages.
• Create a welcoming atmosphere on patios, porches and entryways.
• Line a walkway to highlight landscape features and increase curb appeal.
• Use them around a deck or patio to create a cozy, communal space for seating or entertaining.

What Outdoor Light Pieces Are Available?

Light every outdoor or indoor space with outdoor light fixtures from Williams Sonoma. Here are some of the styles available in this collection:

• Pendant lights add an elegant glow to any space, from foyers to bedrooms to covered patios. You can also try hanging a pendant from a sturdy tree branch for a more whimsical look.
• Lanterns provide a chic glow wherever you place them. Pair them with pillar candles for a more romantic look. Electric-bulb lanterns will need an outlet and are more limited in where you can place them.
• Sconces are versatile fixtures that can go just about anywhere. Place a pair of sconces on either side of a door or window for a welcoming feel. Place three or more sconces along an outdoor wall for ambient lighting or in place of overhead lighting.

These modern light fixtures use a mix of materials, like glass and metal. colour options include sleek polished aluminum, industrial-chic bronze and elegant antique brass. For a more coastal vibe, look for pieces with teak accents.

The right outdoor light fixture will not only increase the amount of light outside of your home but will also function as a lovely decorative accent. Browse the Williams Sonoma collection of outdoor lights to find a beautiful fixture that fits your interior and exterior design style.
