Style Guide: Styling Lanterns for All Seasons
Feel like keeping the cosy glow of lantern light all year round? This underrated but crucial piece of lighting can be used as a cosy accent to transform your indoor and outdoor spaces with just the flick of a switch! Alternatively, opt for a lantern with a timer function, meaning you don’t have to lift a finger!
Get Garden Party Ready for Spring & Summer!
When creating outdoor spaces in spring & summer, the most crucial part is using lights that can easily adapt to your space. That’s why our collection of lanterns for spring & summer has been curated with versatility in mind, featuring designs that are everything from Mediterranean-inspired to modern lounging rattan styles.
When it comes to using lanterns for a bit of spring-summer magic, we think the best policy is using solar power. Since daylight increases during this season, solar lights will gain maximum charge from sunrise until sundown & will keep the evening glowing all night long, thanks to clever light sensors.
Hang solar lanterns from trees & pergolas, place them along pathways & highlight garden entrances, you can also use them to frame seating areas, glowing up your outdoor space. Just be sure to check they’re fully charged.
However no garden party is complete without the glow of overhead lighting! Compliment lanterns using fun filled festoons, available in mains, solar and battery powered options. If festoons aren’t to your taste, use fairy lights in & around your foliage & fencing to still add to that magical evening glow. Add the odd table décor in there as well with outdoor LED candles.
Bring the Glow Inside for Hibernation Season!
When it comes to taking the festoons down and putting the garden furniture away, it generally means the colder months are just around the corner, but that doesn’t mean the warm glow of ambient lighting needs to be left outside. Our carefully curated candle lantern collection shines with the perfect touch of cosy, from straight-edge aesthetics to carefully woven industrial patterns, the collection has been put together with simplicity in mind.
Speaking of simplicity, do you remember those solar lanterns a few lines ago? The rims at the top of the shells have all been sized to the same spec so when it’s time to bring the lanterns inside, it’s easier to transition into hygge season by replacing the solar panel with our authentic flame ivory candles, our other cosy collection made for warming up even the smallest of spaces.
We say it’s best to use these lanterns to warm up the darker areas of those cosy rooms for a bit of added ambience, they make a gorgeous entrance light to welcome guests in from the cold & windy weather and make the perfect addition to comfy living rooms. We also say it’s best to give them some friends so your favourite spaces can shine with the warmest hues, friends like our twig lights, made for comfort and simple accessories for your home and why not make the perfect trio by using some warm white wire lights for a bit of sparkle!
So, if you’re looking to keep that cosy glow of lantern light all year round, this highly underrated but gorgeous piece of lighting can be used as an accent, or even a main feature, to help you get garden party ready and bring the warm hues of comfort to your living spaces.
