Front yard lamp posts give cozy curb appeal

Does your home need a curb appeal upgrade? Have you considered adding some vintage flair? One accessory that's gaining popularity may be straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, but we're here for it — and experts say it can have a positive effect on your home's value. The era of vintage-style lamp posts has arrived or shall we say, returned.

It isn't really surprising when you think about it — lighting can have a huge impact on how any space feels, whether it's inside or out. Bridget Gawronski, the senior product manager of lighting and outdoor living at Design House, told "Apartment Therapy" that vintage lamp posts give homeowners an opportunity to "extend the warmth of your home" to your outdoor spaces by giving your driveway, walkway and landscaping some cozy illumination that makes it all look extra inviting to visitors and passers-by alike. That makes a lamp post an affordable, DIY addition that can seriously boost your home's curb appeal.

You can even get vintage-style lamp posts that automatically turn on and off at sunset and sunrise, so you don't have to worry about shutting off the lights during the day to save electricity. Check out the list below for a wide range of options that's sure to have a lamp post that would fit your home's style and needs.
