An outdoor wall sconce can be:
- 一个功能项。Just there to make sure you don’t trip over the patio stairs.
- A contributing design element.Follows the theme or style you’ve chosen for your outdoor decor.
- A focal point.If you don’t have incredible landscaping, or stunning furniture, sconces are an inexpensive backyard conversation piece.
我可以提醒你注意后两个概念吗?Functional outdoor sconcesare fine for prison yards and parking lots. But a backyard ought to be a place of beauty, or whimsy, or excitement. It’s your backyard, it should say something definite about you.
即使是像壁龛这样简单的物体也能说明问题。我选择在下面展示的这些东西告诉了我一些东西——也许它们不是我在院子里会有的东西,但我知道谁会。当你浏览下面那些不可思议的烛台时,你可以问问自己:这是我吗?如果不是,是谁?
Outdoor Sconces Inspired By Nature
Snake Outdoor Sconce
我叫它蛇形烛台。这并不能很好地描述这个抽象的设计。我可以在一个现代风格的露台或一个异想天开的露台看到这一点。

Bald Eagle Outdoor Sconce
I like the power projected by this image of an eagle. Not the literal light power, I mean the strength the eagle represents. Would want this near all my grilling stuff.
ViaCustomCutLighting on Etsy.
Buffalo Outdoor Sconce
I see this on the front porch of a home in the Mountain West. Probably a vacation home that’s a working ranch, too.
ViaTheKingsBay on Etsy.
Ceramic Southwestern Sun Outdoor Sconce
Super-cool and unique, this goes on my shopping list for my cousins, who love New Mexico. The artist, CustomCutLighting, is in Edgewood, New Mexico, about 20 miles from Albuquerque.
ViaCustomCutLighting on Etsy.
Copper Bird of Paradise Outdoor Sconce
绚烂的花,绚烂的烛台。If you’re lucky enough to grow this amazing plant in your backyard, what a sharp look for your sconces.
ViaKukuiNui on Etsy.
Glass Pineapple Outdoor Sconce
This is just one of the many pineapple sconce options on the market. Why are they so popular? Why aren’t there any eggplant sconces? Okay, maybe that’s a dumb question. Anyway, you have plenty of options for a tiki-themed or Hawaiian outdoor space.
ViaWayfair.
Horse Head Outdoor Sconce
The designer of this sconce recommends it for barn lighting. That would be a pretty nice barn.
ViaCustomCutLighting on Etsy.
Horse Outdoor Sconce
Doesn’t the horse seem to be leaping out of the wall onto the light? Adds a three-dimensional, in-motion aspect to the sconce. Just a dead obvious gift for anyone who raises or rides horses.
ViaTheKingsBay on Etsy.
Mermaid Outdoor Sconce
Cute sconce if you’re going for a whimsical design. I bet kids would love a light like this.
ViaCustomCutLighting on Etsy.
Plumeria Outdoor Sconce
This gorgeous Hawaiian flower represented as a wall-sconce. I’ll admit to bias here, I wore a plumeria lei for my wedding in Hawaii. Check out more by this Etsy seller, based on the Big Island.

Red Chili Pepper Outdoor Sconce
For the outdoor cook who likes everything spicy.

Bigger In Texas Art Deco Outdoor Sconce
在圣安东尼奥,一个细节精美的户外壁灯,看起来像20世纪30年代的办公大楼。2022世界杯四强亚盘赔率
Copper Outdoor Sconces
Copper Lantern Outdoor Sconce
有些不同。这不是一个完整的灯笼,但也不是一个完全现代的外观。这不是我的菜,但我看得出来有人会爱上这种打扮。也许那个人就是你?
ViaAmazon.
Handmade Copper Outdoor Sconce
现在看起来又亮又新,但这盏烛台会随着你的家而老化,因为天气和风会在铜质表面慢慢形成铜绿。That patina will change how the sconce looks from different angles—and is unique to the specific weather conditions of your outdoor space.
ViaKukuiNui on Etsy.
Nautical Outdoor Sconces
Antique Brass Bulkhead Outdoor Sconce
Gorgeous 100% cast brass; it will never rust (which would’ve been pretty handy on ships). This has a brass rain cap too, so light shines bright in stormy weather.
ViaBig Ship Salvage.
Port & Starboard Nautical Outdoor Sconces
Outfit your outdoor space with a real—and crucial—part of nautical history. Both ships and planes shine red lights on their starboard side and green on their port side, so oncoming craft know which side to pass on.
ViaBig Ship Salvage.
Ship Porthole Outdoor Sconce
经典的舷窗。安装在走道上看起来像航海,或者如果你想假装你在《迷失》的地堡。
ViaAmazon.
Vintage Nautical Outdoor Sconce
Salvaged from an ocean liner, rewired, and ready to star in your nautical-themed outdoor area.
ViaRedHouseBlue Ocean on Etsy.
Industrial Outdoor Sconces
Double Pipe Industrial Outdoor Sconce
I like the effort to make the pipes look weathered. The double-light does more than double the industrial effect. I’m not much of a steampunk person myself but I know exactly who in my family I’d give this to (and so do you, probably).
ViaAmazon.
Lightbulb’s The Star Outdoor Sconce
Showcase your cool industrial lightbulb. Looks like it’s in an art museum.
ViaRestoration Hardware.
Steampunk Industrial Pipe Outdoor Sconce
Manly lighting for an outdoor space. I would want these on my tool shed.
ViaHanorManor on Etsy.
Modern Outdoor Sconces
Earthen Outdoor Sconce
设计师称之为“土”。我试着想一个更好的名字,但我真的想不出来。它看起来像是一个被火焰烧毁的物体——也许是一根木头?我喜欢这个设计让你的想象力得到锻炼——你可以拥有它很多年,总是在争论它代表什么。
ViaScottCookLuminous on Etsy.
Tresses Outdoor Sconce
制造商hubbdton Forge称之为“树”。我认为“tress”更准确。它很抽象,但仍然有飘逸的头发的强烈暗示。A nice sculptural element.
ViaWayfair.
Arts and Crafts Outdoor Sconce
You can find many arts and crafts outdoor sconces, I included this one because it looks terrific but is really inexpensive (around $50) and has strong reviews on Amazon. Good choice if you’re trying to save money without sacrificing style.
ViaAmazon.
Blingy Bangled Outdoor Sconce
I didn’t find many outdoor sconces with a “bling” feel. But this one has it. I could see this lighting up a hotel’s pool or outdoor drinking deck.
ViaWayfair.
Chrome Outdoor Sconce
Clean lines, bright modern chrome coloring. I want this next to my gleaming chrome gas grill.
ViaWayfair.
Constellation Outdoor Sconce
A truly three-dimensional piece of art as a sconce. This single fixture could be the eye-catching element your outdoor space needs, especially if your landscaping is rather basic.
ViaWayfair.
Cool Angles Outdoor Sconce
I love the powerful angles and strong lines of this metal sconce. I feel like it would lend dignity and gravitas to an outdoor area, if that’s what you’re going for.
ViaWayfair.
Futuristic Outdoor Sconce
This single-bar sconce feels futuristic to me, like you might see it on a interstellar passenger ship someday.
ViaWayfair.
Mid-Century Modern Outdoor Sconce
在我看来,这是中世纪的现代。我有一个类似的射灯设计的时钟。真的很引人注目,特别是如果你的户外区域的其他地方都是干净的线条。
ViaWayfair.
Patinaed Bronze Finish Outdoor Sconce
The manufactured bronze patina on this sconce has a nice textured look to it.
ViaWayfair.
Patinaed Galvanized Steel Outdoor Sconce
I don’t know if “patinaed” is a word, but it should be. The patina is a cool look, and it also softens the light.

Rotating Outdoor Sconce
This aluminum cube rotates 360 degrees. Change the emphasis of your lighting in minutes. Would be cool if you have a very active garden and want to spotlight different plants at different times of the year.
ViaWayfair.
Sculpture In A Sconce
A beautiful abstract sculpture within a sconce. This aluminum sconce is hand-forged in Vermont.
ViaWayfair.
Single Light Outdoor Sconce
我喜欢这个烛台的极简主义风格。“你要光明?在这儿。”我也被简单的线条和正方形令人愉悦的对称所吸引。

Traditional Outdoor Sconces
Antique French Outdoor Sconce
Incredibly detailed antique sconces that would fit well in the City of Lights…or as a conversation piece on your patio.
ViaOne Kings Lane.
Antique Spanish Revival Outdoor Sconce
A gorgeous cast-iron sconce. Anyone with a stucco or Spanish-inspired home should consider this look.

English Carriage House Outdoor Sconce
Go Victorian with your outdoor design; you’ll be able to imagine Scrooge skulking around the yard.
ViaRestoration Hardware.
Gaslamp-Style Outdoor Sconce
Gas lighting wasn’t the safest, but it sure cast some cool light. The folks at Restoration Hardware reimagined an old gaslamp for modern technology.
ViaRestoration Hardware.
Traditional Outdoor Sconce
See the example from Lisbon below—this is old-world sconce design. Back then, of course, lighting was done with candles, so the key was a sturdy material that wouldn’t burn, but could be fashioned to let light out. This pocket lantern hints at those times with an iron finish.
ViaAmazon.
Weathered Copper Outdoor Sconce
这个黄铜壁龛上的绿色饰面模仿了非常风化的铜的外观(见下面来自新泽西州特伦顿市政厅的例子)。这和航海主题或者鬼屋主题很搭。
ViaWayfair.
Traditional Portuguese Outdoor Sconce
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJSWvHHBfdi/
This is what street lights looked like before electricity. I love the ship motif on the arm of the sconce, a callback to Portugal’s days as a maritime power.
Weathered Government Outdoor Sconce
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJAg6FrBdcz/
曾经,市民投资于他们城市的建筑。This beautiful copper sconce on the city hall of Trenton, New Jersey, (which is on the National Registry of Historic Places) has been weathered to that blue color. Still looks beautiful though—not bad for an outdoor sconce installed in 1907.
Outdoor Sconces I Just Like
Handcrafted Tribal Art Outdoor Sconce
Made of hand-punched tin with a copper finish, this is a unique-looking piece. Good for any outdoor area but especially if you have indigeous art or natural landscaping.

Mosaic Outdoor Sconce
A lush, flowering garden deserves outdoor lighting to match.
