Moody Lantern Looks You’ll Fall For

Moody Lantern Looks You’ll Fall For

Kathy Kuo Home 4:01 pm

One of our favorite fall pieces on KKH is the candle lantern. Nothing says autumn like a dark chilly night kept safe and warm by the flickering glow of candlelight. Whether you use them for actual lighting or for decor purposes, candle lanterns are cozy, rustic, and inviting. Because the glass encasing protects the flame, candle lanterns are great for fall outdoor lighting as well as indoor lighting. The best part? They come in diverse styles, so you can work them into a variety of design aesthetics. Check out these luminosities perfect for the spooky season… We dare you.

Pro Tip: Group lanterns together for an impactful, curated look. Three is good number. And make sure to vary the lanterns in size or style (or both!).

Pro Tip: Candle lanterns and lamps are not mutually exclusive. Both can be included in a lighting strategy as long as they’re not side by side.

Pro Tip: Avoid placing short candles in candle lanterns. In general, the candle should be about two-thirds the height of the lantern. If your candle is too short, an easy way to add height and visual interest is to place the candle on a pedestal or candlestick inside the lantern.

Pro Tip: Consider creative placement for your lanterns. They can look just as great on the floor (like above) as they do on a table or console (like below).

Pro Tip: Don’t have any candles? Don’t despair! Florals and other harvest items make a great decorative fill for candle lanterns.

    I didn't think that I can add florals to my outdoor hanging lanterns to make it look pretty. I'm going to decorate my garden soon, and Moroccan lanterns would be a great addition to my current theme. If I were to choose, I think I'll buy some from a good store, and I would really prefer if they're the hanging kind.

    Thank you for your design tips. I like how you suggested to not use short candles in a lanterns. Knowing this will help me choose the right type of candles for a lantern I recently got as a gift.

    I might try gifting a bunch of candle lanterns for my sister’s birthday since your idea of a curated look seems nice. It might also be a good idea to try telling her to put a candle that is two-thirds the height of the candle so that it looks attractive. Since she’ll likely use it for decoration, I’ll try telling her to consider the creative placement of the lanterns she’ll get so that she can get a cozier home.

    I do agree that candle lanterns have this lovely appeal to them just screams out comfort. That is something I will be sure to do as it would be highly likely that it would make our home more aesthetically pleasing. Hopefully, some shops still have some great designs stocked. Thanks!

    Thanks for going over some cool lantern decorations. I personally really like the idea of having some candles inside the lantern. It makes me a bit interested to see the different variations there could be with this concept.
