Wall Fixtures With Real Architectural Presence
This is our core collection of decorative wall fixtures, the pieces chosen as much for how they look at noon as for how they glow at night. It leans modern: long linear bars that stretch along a facade, crisp rectangles in black steel, alabaster and marble look panels, round concrete discs, and cutout scenes of mountains, moons and trees that project a picture onto the wall. Traditional homes are covered too, with cast aluminum wall lanterns, a nautical glass sconce and retro bronze styles. We also carry a lit house number fixture and a gate wall light.
Choosing for Your Architecture
- Follow the lines of the house: Long horizontal bars suit low ranch and contemporary homes; tall vertical rectangles suit narrow entries and two story facades.
- Material and texture: Die cast aluminum and stainless steel are common choices for coastal and wet climates, while stone look and concrete finishes add texture to plain siding.
- Light pattern: Some fixtures glow through a panel, some cast a beam up and down, and scenery designs paint a silhouette on the wall. Decide which effect fits each spot.
- Weather exposure: A wall facing prevailing wind and rain takes more water than a sheltered porch, so check the IP rating before you choose.
Placement tip: On a long blank wall beside the garage, space two or three matching fixtures evenly at the same height. Repetition turns a dull stretch of siding into a deliberate design feature.

Both suit outdoor use. Stainless steel has a clean, modern look, while cast aluminum is lighter and takes powder coated colors like black and sand gray well. In salty coastal air, rinse either finish now and then to keep it looking its best.
Yes, with a mounting block made for siding. It gives the fixture a flat, sealed surface and helps keep water out of the wall. Your electrician can fit one when installing the light.
