At Big Ship Salvage we get nautical lights and fixtures from ships that have sailed around the world. Every piece has a story, and those stories can add a whole new level of wonder and beauty to your home. If you are searching for nautical outdoor lighting ideas, then BSS is the place to shop. The following are some ideas to help you plan a unique outdoor lighting scheme for your nautical style d?cor.
The Front Door:
The most popular options for entry way lighting is to use a pair of fixtures?one on each side of the door. With a nautical theme in play, these can be a pair of bulkhead lamps or porthole recessed lights. Fixtures on just one side need to be placed on the side opposite the way the door opens, so it is not blocked as people come in and out of the area. If the front door is covered by a porch or deep overhang, then you may want to consider using a single hanging lamp or light in the center of the overhang area.
Garage Doors:
Garage areas are often used as secondary entry ways. They can also benefit from some good lighting touches, and there are several nautical themed outdoor lights that can work well for these areas. Install a bulkhead style lantern on each side of the garage door or have several hanging cargo style lanterns hanging over the doors to provide light. Select fixtures that match what was used at the front door, but are a little smaller in size can work perfectly to provide the nautical outdoor lighting touch you are looking for in your design.
Post Lanterns:
This style of lighting is good for long driveways or walkways that are not lit enough from the porch lights. Many people use a post lantern to light up these areas, with just enough light to get from the driveway to the front door. Nautical themes are a little more challenging with this type of light fixture, but it can be accomplished. Wall lights can be attached to posts or small bulkhead style lights can be used to top the posts, giving you the nautical outdoor lighting that you need.
