Wall-Mounted Sconces
Create a rustic and charming look at the front of your house with a wall-mounted sconce. Ideal for framing your front door, or even lighting the way to your garage, the sconces come in a range of materials to match your home's exterior, including metal and transparent glass, as well as aged metals.
Visually stunning for outdoor lighting ideas, sconces offer a soft, downward glow and will also add character, while also being useful for highlighting any unique features of your home. All the sconces must be hardwired in, and, as they are made with glass panels or black steel, they are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions.
As patio lighting options, all of the sconces offer a lighting solution with class, with both the bell-shaped outdoor sconce set and the classic farmhouse outdoor sconce lantern being designed to add brightness to your porch, to offer a homely feel to any of your guests.

Hanging Lanterns
Ideal for covered home entries, like patios and porches, you can offer your space a timeless look and a striking feature without overpowering the space with a hanging lantern. This will ensure a warm invite to guests, whatever the weather, and can also highlight any exterior seating areas.
With the metal and glass construction, these lanterns will add a rustic and weathered feel to your porch, and the shape of the lanterns will allow for a soft glow, which will create a cozy atmosphere on long summer nights, without the blue tint of an LED.
The rustic portico lantern pendant offers a taste of the rustic, with its weathered/rusted metal finish and round detail panels, which can transport both you and your family back to a simpler time, thanks to its farmhouse chic. Both the simply chich pendant light and the rustic portico lantern are suspended on a chain or a cord, to create a downward pool of light, with the clear glass helping to distribute the glow with no harsh glare.

Industrial Chandeliers
If you want to have a showstopper on your porch or patio, then take a look at our collection of industrial chandeliers. We have everything from rustic, metal, and weather-worn options, which will add a touch of the farmhouse, to modern metal and glass, which will offer industrial elements and would be ideal for a more contemporary home exterior without being out of place in a modern farm décor.
Our Manor distressed metal chandelier offers your guests a multi-directional ambient glow and is ideal for placement over any porch areas that are based around seating or dining. The candelabra layout of the chandelier is eye-catching, and, with the warm white bulbs, this can provide a cosy and inviting illumination to the front of your home. As the lights are multi-directional, this chandelier is best suited to larger porches.
We also have the modern metal and glass chandelier, which is perfect for homes with more of a boho theme, or for homes that want to add an industrial rawness to their patio, without being too visually boring. This chandelier combines clear glass panels and is the ideal addition for a wider area, with the lights being suspended centrally, which will add a softness to your patio lighting options.

Portable Lanterns
If you have a large porch that offers your guests seating at a table or in chairs, it may be ideal for late summer nights to explore some of our portable lanterns. These are ideal for creating general ambient light and are small and light enough to carry around, so you and your guests can watch the stars without a bright glow above your head, while also being useful for walking around your garden.
We have a set of 2 classic farmhouse lanterns, which are made from clear glass and have convenient carry handles, which are ideal for moving around to explore the space in the twilight or can be placed on your porch steps to light the way for late-arriving guests. These operate on battery power, which creates an ambient light with an LED, and are small enough to help guests find the way to the guest bedroom, without looking out of place.
Next, we have our caged metal porch lantern, which is a rustic, iron-framed lantern with a wire cage and glass panels. It is exceptionally bright when placed on exterior tables, helping to create a cozy and inviting evening space to eat with your guests, or you can use it to highlight the exterior of your porch, alongside a fitted light source.
