Christmas is slowly looming upon the corner; before you know it, you'd be surrounded with friends and family under the summer's eve, each of you bearing smiles and gifts and good thoughts to share. As the cold winter has been eased by the warm kiss of the weather, there's no better place to celebrate your family gatherings than outdoors. Now, the question is; is your outdoor space ready for the holidays?

We're dishing out a handful of outdoor lighting tips to help make the atmosphere merry and inviting, just the perfect setting to hold your annual family gatherings.

Wondering what to do with your empty porch? How about affixing rows of handsome outdoor lighting on the wall and create a stunning lounge for your guests to enjoy?

A wall light or two by the front door immediately adds a touch of cheerfulness in your outdoor facade. Cage lights offer a warmer, more rustic feel; they create a lovely accent when set against a brick wall, or a wooden panel. They also go nicely with coastal themed homes. Use these sconces to create a balanced look for your home by setting them on either side of the door.  Find in our store: Miner Outdoor Wall Light
