If you are looking to entertain your guests on your patio , you cannot go wrong by including outdoor candle lanterns in the design of the landscape.
Candle lanterns come in many different sizes, shapes and styles. There are many different designs and colors to choose from and the possibilities for your “lightscape” abound.
Also, due to increases in metallurgy and superior metalworking techniques, a good quality candle lantern can last for decades. Using metal candle lanterns that incorporate glass enclosures can mimic the streets and restaurants of Italy or France and provide an aura that your guests might only receive in those Old World countries.
The beautiful thing about outdoor candle lanterns is that going with a basic black or dark mocha lantern can still allow you to tailor your outdoor color scheme to match the event you are throwing. This is due to the fact that candles are manufactured in almost every color. Simply switch out the candle with the one that matches your event and you are set.
Color scheme is not the only thing that candle lanterns provide. If you live in an environment where flowers do not bloom, or the bloom season is very short, candle lantersn allow you to use scented candles in order to provide the pleasing aroma your backyard might be missing.
There is another reason for using candle lanterns – pest control. If you live in an area that has mosquito problems (the East Coast is rife with mosquitos each summer) you could place a citronella candle in the lanterns to help repel them.
Whether it is color scheme, fragrance or pest control, outdoor candle lanterns can be an important addition to any landscape.
