Things To Keep In Mind

Although you may want to grab any lantern you like to decorate your space, you should first take into consideration a few factors. Here are some things shoppers should keep in mind when purchasing lighting.

Purpose & Placement

Think about how you plan to use your lantern to illuminate your space and where you will place it. If you plan to place it indoors, such as on a shelf, mantel, or dining table, opt for decorative options. They are made from materials such as wood, metal, and glass, which fair well indoors. If you plan to use them as garden or porch lanterns, choose an option crafted from weather-resistant materials such as stainless steel or aluminum. Decorative lanterns can also be a creative and fun way to decorate for special events such as weddings and parties, as they are lightweight and have intricate designs.

Type of Lighting

Choose a method of lighting that is convenient for you and makes using it enjoyable. Battery and LED-powered fixtures are flameless and safe options that are suitable for all ages. They have long-lasting light and dimmable settings, which makes them easy to use. Solar-powered alternatives are just as good, except that they are usually placed outdoors. They are an eco-friendly option that uses the sun to charge up during the day and lights up your patio at night. Lastly, no one can beat the classic glow of a candle lantern. The flicker of the flame and a wax candle creates an unmatched feel.

Portability & Hanging

Determine if you need a fixture that is portable or if you just need something that can sit up on your mantel. Wall-mounted or freestanding options, such as floor lanterns, are not very concerned with portability and often don’t consider portability. On the other hand, if you do plan to move your lantern around from time to time, consider something with a handle that makes it easier to use away from your home. If you want to keep them outdoors, hung up on a pergola or ceiling hook, opt for something with hooks.

Outdoor

If you need something nice to light up your backyard or patio but want something more unique than a standard porch light, make sure to check out our outdoor lanterns. These fixtures are a bit more heavy-duty than their indoor counterparts as they are made from weather-resistant materials for enhanced durability. They are available in modern, vintage, and rustic styles that are sure to stand out in your outdoor space. Whether you want one or two to light up your balcony or a string of them to light up a pathway, these fixtures can get the job done.

LED

For those seeking a safe and eco-friendly alternative to a candle, choose an LED lantern. These fixtures have become a safe and convenient choice among customers due to their similar design with no open flame. Because of their mode of power, they can be used with only a few batteries and include features such as dimmable presets, timers, and more. They can easily be used for children's rooms, outdoors, and even at special events for a unique touch. They are catered more towards those who want a low maintenance, energy-efficient lighting solution.

What Size Lantern Should I Get?

Determine how you will use your lantern. They can often be categorized into a few categories depending on their use.

• Small (Under 10”) - Ideal for tabletops, shelves, and other accent lighting

• Medium (10” to 15”) - Work great as centerpieces, entryway decor, and in patios

• Large (Over 15”) - Often used on the floor or a hanging display such as a paper lantern

Can Lanterns be Used Year Round?

Yes, lanterns can be used throughout all seasons of the year. During the spring and summer, rattan or glass lanterns can create a light and airy feel in your indoor and outdoor spaces. However, during the fall and winter, opt for metal or treated wood alternatives that can both withstand the elements and create a cozy atmosphere.
