Outdoor lamp posts are like the icing on the
cake. You have installed your iron wrought wall
fixtures, your traditional walkway and path lanterns
and your exterior security lighting to keep burglars
away. Landscape lighting fixtures have been installed.
Now come the traditional outdoor lamp posts. A
classic look that never goes out of style they
compliment any home exterior.
Outdoor lamps posts come in a variety of style
and finishes. Depending on your budget you should
be able to get an attractive fixture for a reasonable
price. Below I have listed a few of the many options
that you have to choose from when decorating your
landscape and garden areas.
- craftsman / mission
- rustic / country
- traditional / classic
- transitional
- decorative
- cast iron
- cast aluminum
- antique
- victorian
- wood
Outdoor lamp posts will add style to any exterior
landscape. Consider what your are trying to achieve
with you exterior lighting design. Remember to
use lighting when necessary don't over do it,
less is more. Personally I like ambient mood lighting,
2 lamp posts at the beginning of a drive way along
with a few low voltage lanterns or mini path light
fixtures flowing with the walkway. The last thing
you want is your driveway to be lit up like a
landing strip. Remember exterior lighting should
be tasteful, if you need some help consider hiring
a landscape architect or a lighting designer to
help you in your exterior design.
