Lanterns for your balcony and garden - light up your terrace!

Lanterns and garden torches have recently become a very fashionable element of balcony and garden arrangements. No wonder - after all, stylish lanterns are not only a source of ambient light, but they also promote relaxation and atmosphere of tranquility, add a character and an unusual charm and constitute an original and unique decoration. Nothing will make an evening on the balcony or terrace more enjoyable than the pleasant, flickering light of a lantern. How to choose the perfect lantern or lantern for your garden?

Atmospheric lighting of the balcony and garden

A beautifully and stylishly decorated balcony or terrace is a perfect place to rest and relax on warm summer evenings, which is why we are so willing to equip our summer lounges with garden furniture or decorate them with flowers. Lighting is also an inseparable element of the balcony and terrace arrangement, especially if we like to spend time on the balcony or garden in the evenings.
The lighting of the balcony or terrace should not be too intense. Subdued and warm light will be appropriate, creating a pleasant and warm atmosphere, but at the same time allowing you to move safely around the balcony or terrace in the dark, eat your meals in the evening under the stars or read books.
Therefore, a perfect choice for the balcony and garden are decorative lanterns, which, in addition to their practical function, play a decorative role and allow you to create an exceptionally cosy atmosphere. Candles placed in them give a natural, atmospheric light that gives a boost of relaxation and introduces a romantic atmosphere. Lanterns will decorate every terrace or balcony in a spectacular way, making the summer outdoor recreation even more enjoyable!

What should be the guiding principle when choosing lanterns and garden torches?

When choosing lanterns for your balcony or terrace, there are several criteria to follow. Of course, our tastes and preferences are the most important, but when choosing a particular model we should also take into account the size of the terrace on which we want to place the lantern, as well as the style in which the lantern is maintained and its material.
If we own a large terrace or balcony, we can decorate our space with large lanterns reaching even several dozen centimetres in height. The large-size models look best when placed directly on the ground. An interesting solution for those who have a large terrace area is also a set of lanterns of different sizes. Their proper arrangement will allow us to bring out the beauty of the garden, emphasizing the beauty of blooming flowers and stylish furniture even in the dark. On the other hand, the arrangement of a small balcony is better suited for smaller torches, which can be placed on a garden table or windowsill.

You should also choose the right candle size for the lantern. For the smallest ones we can successfully put tealights, while for larger lanterns there should be large and massive candles. It is worth mentioning that most of the available lanterns have comfortable handles, thanks to which they can be easily moved.
You can choose from lanterns that surprise you with their variety. The offer includes both classic, vintage and rustic ones, as well as lanterns in modern and Scandinavian style. The colour of the lantern should also depend on the arrangement of our terrace. You can choose between gold candlesticks, stylish black or silver lanterns. However, candle lanterns are not the only kind of lighting for the garden. An interesting proposal is also a kerosene lamp, which burns longer than traditional candles, but you should remember to refuel it regularly. An olive lamp, on the other hand, is an ideal choice for those who like to relax next to the warm light emitted by the fire. Olive lamps look beautifully surrounded by garden or balcony plants.
The balcony and garden lamps are made of various materials. Metal lanterns are very popular, but there are also wooden models, all glass ones or with metal elements. Such a wide selection allows for quick and trouble-free selection of the lanterns for the balcony or terrace arrangement.

Lanterns and garden torches in different styles

The FormAdore range includes lanterns and torches in different styles. Simple lanterns in geometric shapes are perfect for minimalistic, monochromatic arrangements, being a subtle and not exaggerated decorative element, which will add charm and slightly warm up modern space. In this style, the silver lantern, in particular, will look beautiful.
Balcony or terrace arranged in rustic or Provencal style, but also spaces in glamour style are ideal for more sophisticated lanterns and torches with more details. On such a terrace or a balcony a metal lantern decorated with original patterns, e.g. stripes, will look beautifully. Kerosene lamps and bamboo lanterns are also ideally suited for this style.

Stylish lanterns and candlesticks made of various materials

The lanterns differ not only in style, shape and size, but also in the material. The very popular metal lanterns are a kind of lighting that we gladly choose for our balcony or terrace. It is hardly surprising - after all, metal candlesticks delight not only with their stylish, eye-catching design, but also with their strength, durability and high resistance to adverse weather conditions.

We also have wooden lanterns to choose from. Among them, bamboo lanterns deserve special attention, characterised by an interesting, original form, which placed on the terrace will make the time spent outdoors more pleasant, but will also be an incredible decoration during an evening garden party or a romantic dinner for two. The lanterns made of a bamboo fiber are maintained in the boho aesthetics and perfectly emphasize the decor of the terrace or balcony in a rustic style.

Among the proposed items, glass lanterns could not be missed. The candles placed in them subtly pierce through the glass lanterns, creating beautiful shadows and patterns on various surfaces. Glass lanterns are a great way to create an exceptionally magical and romantic atmosphere on a balcony or terrace. However, it should be remembered that the glass candlesticks which we want to place on the floor should be heavy enough not to be blown off by the wind. On the other hand, the hanging lanterns can be lighter and smaller.
