Glass box sconces
For a more structural aesthetic, glass box sconces have been a very popular choice for both outdoor and indoor wall lights. Clear glass offers the option to showcase decorative or vintage light globes, while frosted or pleated glass creates a soft glow.

Up-down lights
These outdoor wall lights are far more simple and modern in design; however, the pattern of light they throw can create a striking lineal structure to your backyard.
Always try to check how each light design throws light; some offer an obtuse angle, whilst others shine in a tighter, longer beam. When installing, place them far enough down the wall to get the most effect from both directions.
DIY strip lighting
If you’re more of a DIYer, a strip of LED lights can make an incredible statement on your walls! More commonly used along stairs, balustrades, garden beds or window eaves, you can also run this backyard lighting option along your walls; simply install the lighting underneath the capping to create a dramatic glow.
