While droves of tourists flock to our beautiful beaches from Memorial Day through Labor Day, there is nothing quite like Fall on the North Carolina Coast. It’s apple weather, sweater weather, wrap yourself in a blanket, and sit on the porch at night weather! Did I mention it is also campfire weather? All of that, and you can still run out into the Atlantic on a sunny afternoon and enjoy the beach life. The only challenge. The sunsets earlier each day – requiring a bit of outdoor lighting to maximize the delight. Have you considered your best porch lighting options?
Wilmington Porch Lighting Ideas
Enhancing your porch (front porch or back porch) with professional outdoor lighting is an excellent way to set the stage for amazing fall nights outdoors. Consider these three excellent ideas for your porch.
Sconce Lighting
You may not think of sconces as outdoor lighting, but there are a variety of options that are perfect for outdoor use. Our LED sconces work well to shine light both up and down a column with a decorative touch. We can help you find the perfect sconce for your porch columns, whether that is your southern front porch, inside a screened porch, on pillars for your covered patio, or the posts of your pergola.
String Lighting in Your Rafters
We can’t overstate how popular LED string lighting is for outdoor entertaining and enjoyment. This popularity continues to grow every day. You might think these lights are for open areas over patios, decks, fire pits, or swimming pools. However, string lights are a perfect accent for porches. Our expert lighting team will create
Column Lights
One of our favorite lighting techniques for porches is to uplight the porch columns. Much like our popular wall wash lighting, this technique highlights the color and texture of the porch columns. At the same time, the porch benefits from subtle accent lighting to make the space functional for nighttime use.
