No. 11 Outdoor Lighting · Mid-Century Modern
Wooden Deck with Warm Stair Lights
At night, functional deck lighting illuminates this wooden patio, highlighting recessed stair lights on the steps, post-cap railing lights, hanging lanterns, potted succulents, and a red-brick facade.
Design notes
Mid-century modern design lines everything up with the house. Look for flat roofs and post-and-beam overhangs, walls of glass, breeze-block screens, terrazzo or large concrete pads with gravel joints, and a rectangular pool set square to the architecture. Planting is sculptural and sparse — agave, yucca, olive, citrus, a Mediterranean fan palm — and colour comes from a single accent: an orange door, turquoise water, a yellow umbrella.
What to look for
- Layers: one overhead, one at eye level, one low along the ground
- Whether you can see the fixture or only the light
- Colour temperature — everything warm, nothing blue
