If your home's landscaping includes outdoor stairs, then you know the importance of being able to safely navigate the property at night. You want to keep your guests safe, but also enhance the design of your home. Proper outdoor stair lighting can help you accomplish both.
If you’ve spent a lot of time and money properly landscaping your home, you want to be sure it always looks its best, day or night. A crystalline pier-mount light caps a rustic wall and leads the way up a stone stair. Lighting should enhance your landscaping design, not distract from it.
Square outdoor wall sconces that cast light both up and down are a good option for lighting outdoor stairs. Spaced evenly, these simple fixtures can illuminate both the treads and risers as well as wash light along the flanking wall surface. The combination of ambient and focused light assists safe egress.
Sometimes the best solution to lighting outdoor steps is shining light from the interior. Large expanses of glass and double doors allow you to open the indoors to the outdoors. Step lights set into the rise further guide you safely on your way.
A flower-inspired bollard provides even illumination for an exterior brick stair. If you are not able to inset stair lights or attach wall sconces, bollards can be a great solution. Choose a metal finish that complements the architecture of your home.
An inviting entry sequence can sometimes be dramatic. A combination of up and down wall sconces with spot lights draws attention to the front door. However, the real showstoppers are the reed-like floor mounted fixtures that frame the entrance.
