Lighting up the outside of your home with these wall lamps
Spring has arrived with sunny, warm days that inevitably remind us that summer is just around the corner.
At last we will be able to enjoy the outdoor spaces of our homes much more, especially the swimming pool and the garden, which provide us with such good times.
Therefore, it is the perfect time to think about those changes or improvements that you see necessary to introduce in these spaces so that, when the summer arrives, they are perfect to enjoy them to the maximum.
For example, the lighting of gardens, terraces and swimming pools is one of the aspects that you can review. At gHouse we can help you because we study the exterior design of each home to provide the most appropriate and elegant lighting solution.
One of these solutions are wall lights, a resource that we use in many of our decoration and interior design projects in Mallorca as they provide very good lighting and enhance outdoor spaces. We tell you more about them below.
Why choose wall lights to illuminate the outside of your home?
Wall lights to illuminate outdoor spaces are becoming more and more popular every day. They create indirect lighting, either in one or two directions, providing a lighting effect that is as beautiful as it is decisive.
On the other hand, the fact that they can be easily installed directly on walls without the need to lean on other supports is another of the aspects that play in favour of this choice.
But in addition to these aspects, let’s take a look at the main advantages of choosing wall lights to illuminate the outdoor spaces of your home.
1.- They save space
Wall lights are the most discreet lighting solution. As they have a simple design and are fixed to the walls, they eliminate the visual noise caused by other bulky objects such as lanterns, lamps, spotlights… The result is perfect lighting, free of objects, achieving a much cleaner and more elegant atmosphere.
2.- They have great lighting power
Wall lights, despite their rather small size, are usually very powerful and are capable of illuminating very large spaces, which is why they are perfect for lighting gardens, swimming pools or terraces. Without having to install normal lighting in these spaces, they will be illuminated by the light coming from the wall lights placed on the walls of the building without the need to add more points of light, if this is not desired.
They are also highly recommended for lighting transit areas that require a diffused light, not too intense, but just enough to avoid tripping.
3.- They are easy to maintain
Once installed, wall lights provide very beautiful and functional lighting without requiring a great deal of maintenance. If they also have an LED light source, it won’t even be necessary to change the bulbs for years.
If they are installed at a medium height, they are easy to clean with a cloth to remove the dirt that is deposited on them when they are in an outdoor space.
4.- They adapt to all architectural and decorative environments
Wall lights are a timeless lighting solution due to their great functionality and the elegance with which they illuminate all types of spaces.
Thanks to their wide range of designs, shapes and sizes, they fit in with any architectural style. There are wall lights that are perfect for retro or traditional decorative styles, while others fit in with more modern, avant-garde or minimalist styles.
5.- They create more elegant and intimate atmospheres
Wall sconces provide an indirect light with which two effects are achieved: improving the aesthetics of the space with a very elegant lighting and achieving a more intimate and personal atmosphere.
As they are dim lights, not too intense, and projected indirectly, they are highly recommended for installation in those places where a very powerful light is not needed, and even in those areas especially intended for relaxation, such as the chill out areas of a garden or a swimming pool.
What do you think about this option? At gHouse we will help you to evaluate this possibility to illuminate the outdoor spaces of your home so that you can make the most of them when the good weather arrives.
