Light Your Steps and Stairs with Style

If you’re looking for an easy way to add style and safety to your outdoor steps and stairs, outdoor lighting is the perfect solution. Whether you’re looking for subtle illumination or a bolder look, there are plenty of ways that you can use lighting to create the perfect mood and atmosphere. Read on to learn more about different types of outdoor step and stair lighting.

Lighting Styles for Steps and Stairs
The first thing you need to consider when it comes to outdoor step and stair lighting is the type of light you want to use. If you’re going for subtle illumination, recessed lights may be the best option. These are lights that are built into the walls or floors of your steps or stairs, so they won’t be overly visible but will still provide enough light to make sure your steps are easy to navigate at night. You can also opt for traditional wall-mounted fixtures if you want a more visible look.

Another option is small linear down lighting from the underside of the railing.  These provide pooling light around the stairs. There are also rail lights that are similar but more visible.

Finally, one of our favorite ways to illuminate steps and stairs is with down lighting from the trees around it.  This offers a soft, subtle moonlighting effect that provides just the right amount of light.

No matter what type of style or atmosphere you’re trying to create with your outdoor space, there’s an option out there when it comes to step and stair lighting that will suit all kinds of needs!
