London Lanterns for a Federal Style Home
The exterior of Federal Style homes are known for symmetry, balance, and restrained decoration. One of the most popular styles of Federal home is the hipped roof, two story version as featured in this photo shoot. The owners of the brick Federal home recently completed an elegant update to the exterior. Freshly painted wood moldings at the roofline, entryway and door surround correspond and contrast pleasantly with the colors of the front door and shutters. A bluestone sidewalk lined with red antique paving stones leads to the attractive front porch of the brick Federal home.
Further charming curb appeal is added with coordinating Brass Light Gallery post mounted London Lanterns flanking the front yard walkway and a stem hung Lantern on the front porch. Not only is the traditional style outdoor London Lantern perfect from a historical design point of view, but genuine Verdigris Patina metal finish ties in beautifully with the texture of the brick home and its accent colors.
