Farmhouse Lighting: The charm of the country

Far from the city, you’re driving along a two-lane road. As you crest a hill, you spy a shiplap farmhouse nestled in a grove of oaks, with a faded but sturdy barn standing quietly nearby.

You’ve never lived on a farm. But something inside you chimes “home.”

If this rings true for you, you’re probably a fan of the Modern Country style. Something about those bright, inviting spaces with a well-worn feel touches a chord, whether it’s rooted in actual memories of a grandparent’s farm or just a deep longing for simplicity.

Gentle hues need soft, functional lighting

Many people associate the Modern Country look with kitchens—antique tables and chairs, natural-grain flooring and brightly stained cabinets. Even simple drawer pulls can add the “charm of the farm” to an otherwise ordinary kitchen.

Other people, however, find ways to evoke Modern Country throughout their homes with hand-crafted quilts, converted farm furniture and intentionally mismatched accessories. From dining rooms to bathrooms, bedrooms to back porches, there are Modern Country furnishings for every taste and budget.

The gentle hues of Modern Country furnishings—faded blues and greens, earth and straw tones, weathered whites—need soft lighting with a strong presence. The ideal light fixtures for Modern Country are almost soft industrial, yet the elements are more natural to match the rough-hewn warmth of your décor.

If you’re trying to capture that feeling in your own home, you’ll find the perfect light fixtures in our Modern Country lighting collection.

How to light your Modern Country-style spaces

We offer pendants, chandeliers, flush-mounts and wall lamps for any Modern Country-themed space in your home—indoors or out.

  • Your kitchen. Our flush-mount and semi-flush-mount fixtures, with noble bronze and frosted glass in comfortable round shapes, lend Modern Country kitchens an understated grace. Mini-pendants—sometimes featuring jar-shaped glass—add a touch of sophistication and sly humor.
  • Your living room or dining room. Highlight your most prominent Modern Country spaces with our pendants and chandeliers. Rubbed bronze, clear glass and natural shapes match the presence of large farmhouse furniture and accessories.
  • Vanity lights. Our range of Modern Country vanity lights—from single lamps to four-lamp configurations, in noble bronze and satin nickel—put the focus on your walls with timeless and simple details better suited for high-condensation areas.
  • Outdoor lights. The brushed copper, satin silver and light aged iron of our Modern Country outdoor lights give your porch, front steps or patio an authentic rural feel, perfect for sipping hot coffee and enjoying a warm apple cider donut on a clear, sunny October morning.
  • Wall lights. Play with scale and utility when you fill your home’s vertical spaces with large, outdoor-inspired barn lights. Place them in front of your kitchen window or over a big farm sink—they’re even available in unique colors like red and green.

Modern Country lighting can also enhance your hallways, your foyer or even your home office—anywhere you crave a touch of home comfort and simplicity. Whether you favor farmhouse, French or English country, or something in between, you’ll find your ideal light fixtures in our Modern Country lighting collection.


Turn outdoor lighting into outdoor living with Dualux® dual-level technology

When you’re shopping for decorative outdoor lighting, one quick internet search or stroll down the aisle of any major big-box retailer offers countless motion-sensing lighting options. How do you choose?

More sophisticated lighting doesn’t just light your exterior—it adds style, extending and enhancing the time you spend outdoors while providing security once you’ve retreated indoors for the evening.

Dualux® Dual-Level Outdoor Lighting technology, with its multiple brightness levels, programmable security settings and automatic sensing controls, expands the realm of possibilities for your outdoor lighting. If you’ve ever wondered if your exterior lighting could really give you style, peace of mind and efficiency, the answer is—yes!

Let’s talk motion: Multiple brightness levels deliver security with style

Don’t settle for lights that you need to manually turn on and off with a switch. Patented Dualux energy-saving technology means you can enjoy decorative lighting that delivers both continuous energy-efficient illumination during the dark, inactive and late-night hours, and 100% brightness whenever motion is detected. Plus, for added peace of mind, some models come with Bluetooth connectivity to control brightness settings remotely.

Tip: Walk around the perimeter of your home after dark to identify the darkest areas and entry points—around the garage, back doors, front walk and window wells. It seems obvious, but it really will help you determine the best position for your lights.

Timing is everything: Sync up your lighting with your lifestyle

Life is busy—so it’s worth having outdoor lights that automatically run on your schedule. Think decorative outdoor wall-mounted lights and lanterns near driveways and entrances where people come and go.

Tip: Take advantage of Dualux lighting’s built-in timer for continuous bright light during active early evening hours when you’re outside watering plants, grilling burgers or entertaining guests. Select from set intervals for a continuous glow at 100% brightness in the early twilight hours—when and where you want it.

Ambience: Accent your exterior with inviting warmth

Energy-efficient dimmed lighting doesn’t mean glowstick-level brightness. Dualux’s automatic sensors maximize your ambient light, turning lights on and off for you as natural light outside your home transitions from day to night to day again. Plus, smart outdoor lighting lets you control the level of ambient brightness during late-evening hours.

Tip: Take advantage of the adjustable low-level light setting to provide the amount of ambient lighting you’d like, and minimize disturbing your neighbors with continuous bright lights. Select from intervals between 0% and 50% of full brightness for just the right level of light overnight.

The bottom line? You no longer have to settle when it comes to the right mix of features for outdoor lighting. You can have it all. Opt for stylish, versatile, dual-level brightness with Dualux outdoor lighting—and you won’t be disappointed (or left in the dark).


Coastal vibes: Where classic style meets cottage charm

Seaside or suburbs—when you love the beach, it just shows.

There’s a reason everyone is drawn to the water. Science has proven people tend to be their happiest when they’re near large bodies of water. So if you’d rather have sand on your toes than snow on your boots, you’re not alone.

A laid-back aesthetic and carefree mindset go a long way to helping beach lovers recreate that sense of peace and relaxation in their own homes. Whether it was a childhood trip to the Gulf Coast or a honeymoon excursion to the Greek Isles—memories of joyous times spent near water stay with you. That’s why the Coastal style is one of the most popular design aesthetics today.

Let sun-bleached colors and ocean-inspired hues define your point of view

Coastal décor includes a wide range of looks, from nautical New England to tropical pastels to bright and beachy themes. And if you happen to love any of these Coastal styles, there’s no need to stay in your shell!

When it comes to creating the Coastal environment, there are no rules. The best approach is to keep it casual and carefree—surrounding yourself with the art, objects and accessories that make you happy. Embracing a no-pressure, mix-and-match approach creates a comfortable atmosphere guests will appreciate—even if you’re miles from an actual waterfront.

It only takes a few key pieces to give your home a Coastal flair. And one of the easiest, yet most overlooked ways to infuse style into your space is with nautical, coastal and beach-inspired lighting.

How to illuminate your home, harbor-style

A little drama is easy to achieve with the right fixture. Here are a few tips to make selecting a design easier than ever.

      • Bring outdoor fixtures inside. If your ceiling heights allow, consider mounting Coastal style outdoor lighting on each side of your bathroom medicine cabinet—or in an unexpected place like a laundry room—to make a nautical statement.
      • Brighten up tight quarters. Busy on deck? Stick to compact Coastal flush mount lighting in high-traffic areas like hallways, foyers, landings and stairwells to save space and open up areas with bright light.
      • Anchor ceilings in main living areas. To establish a focal point with minimal effort, opt for Coastal indoor lighting styles like pendants and chandeliers—with their wide array of interesting finishes—for dining rooms and family rooms.
