Lighting Your Way to Outdoor Living
Outdoor lighting is not just a front porch light anymore. Many lighting vendors are making every type of light you can think of, rated for a damp and even a wet location, for the exterior of your home.
You are now able to get absolutely, stunning outdoor chandeliers and or pendants rated for outdoor lighting for your exterior living area, porch or patio, along with table and floor lamps, yes; I said TABLE and FLOOR LAMPS. Table and floor lamps are now available UL rated as outdoor lighting for the exterior of your home, listed for damp and even wet locations. All these types fixtures come in many styles Traditional, Arts and Crafts, Coach Style, Tuscan, Tropical and Old World Style, this just names a few.
Picture this for a small deck or back patio setting, a still hot august night, and a couple of wooden chase lounges with beautiful thick red cushion. In between the lounges, a wicker glass top cocktail table behind the cocktail table there is a floor lamp rated for outdoor lighting, made of bronze finished with a golden shade and golden palm fawns woven in through the fabric illuminating just enough over your shoulder and a book by your favorite author. Above, a beautiful bronze paddle fan with fern leaf blades blowing a soft breeze. Maybe a potted fern here and there, all that could be missing is the view and the cabana boy. You could convert your existing patio to this wonderful atmosphere for only a couple hundred dollars.
These new styled fixtures that we've been talking about have various family pieces to match and are avail different type of materials and in many finishes, you can get them made from brass, in antique brass, bronze and bronzed patina, copper and antique copper, chrome. In aluminum and cast aluminum, they have lovely powder coated finishes in black, white, verde green, bronze patina and in resin, you can get many fabulous faux finishes.
The chandeliers are avail in many sizes ranging from 18 inches to 5 feet there's a size and look, for any size and style of homes. A home designed to be very casual to the very grand can have just the right chandelier, for their patio setting
Picture this for a larger back yard situation. You walk out from the family room television, onto a flat broken stone patio. Just in front of you, you see a low stone fire pit with Adirondack chairs around in an area that is ten foot square. In the four corners six by six inch square columns supporting a copula top surrounding the inside of this canopy you find two to four well placed accent flood lights, and down the columns you find some column garden accent lights.
Just to the left of this conversational area, under a covered patio area that has an extended roof from the house. You'll find hanging a fantastic Tuscan styled chandelier thirty-three inches in diameter and thirty-one inches high out of wrought iron in a statuary bronze finish with eight, sunset amber glass shades, that is able to hold 60 standard light bulbs or convert to fluorescent if you wish. Below the chandelier is a stunning, three quarter inch think rectangular clear glass top dinning table, mounted on top of a beautiful Tuscan styled forged iron base, the size is forty-eight inches wide and ninety-eight inches long, allowing six chairs to fit comfortably around with lots of space.
A little more to the left you will find an ell shaped cabinet with a stainless steel barbecue grill with a roll back top with next to a 4 burner stove top of glass with a roll back cover and mounted on top is a lime stone colored granite counter top there is also a stainless sink. Installed under this granite counter top in the ell cabinet are a side-by-side refrigerator and freezer and on either side of the refrigerator / freezer there are two door cabinets with little bronze palm trees for the cabinet knobs. In addition, as you are standing behind the stove you look out be on the grassy area and find a beautiful swimming pool / Jacuzzi, rock waterfall and beyond that is trees and flowerbeds all illuminated with landscape grading lighting.
All of these dreams of outdoor life are easily obtainable just by a simple point and click.
