Candle Lanterns; a guide to and a celebration of what is beyond doubt the most soulful of lighting choices.

Candle lanterns which hold single or even multiple light sources can, with the absolute minimum of effort, and a nicely low output of cash, change the entire look and feel of any room you wish to bless with there pleasant presence. Mood lighting being the essence of lanterns in our modern times this article will outline for you the easiest yet greatest ways of implementing them in the situations that demand them most.

Candle lanterns hold a very definite element of safety and give an added bonus of style to the average tea light, also though candle lanterns cost more than the average decorative candle, because you refill them with inexpensive tea lights they are more economical in the long run.

The Hot Bath or Cool Meditation

The relaxing effects of candle lanterns make them the ideal addition to a serene soak in a satisfyingly hot bath at the end of the tiring working day, plus due to the safely enclosed nature of candle lanterns there's no risk of the dreaded hot wax in the hair which then solidifies and has to be melted out again with your sisters hair straighteners scenario. On a lighter note, for the bath and, if your like me, for any meditation session it may be your joy to indulge in, the range of colored, contoured and patterned glass available in candle lanterns provides another benefit in comparison to a candle with no housing.

Breathing Life Into The Ordinary

Liberally sprinkling the room with peacefully glowing candle lanterns makes a quite night in with or without friends that bit more special then the average run of the mill night with a rental and a tv dinner, and that's still true even if the night does consist only of the aforementioned ingredients. If though your are having friends round you should try hanging the candle lanterns up high and so surrounding you and yours with a dome of suspended light; the mood will be set and the talk will flow, and if your lucky enough that the visitor is a girl of the single variety, then a few tasteful and warmly glowing lanterns ain't gonna be a bad thing.

The Gentler Side of Life

Which brings us to the last and arguable greatest situation in which candle lanterns can play an important role; the bedroom, but don't worry we we'll keep it clean. A great tip for a great night is to place candle lanterns all over the floor yet only on the floor, don't worry too much about knocking them over because its pretty unlikely that any of the candle wax is gonna reach the floor through the lantern. This lighting set up spreads a soft and diffused light over the entire room and creates a cozy cocoon of soft darkness over you and whoever you may be sharing the bed with, without a doubt setting the mood for a night of tender love and intimacy.


These are the main ways in which I feel the humble candle lantern can be used to improve life's indoor situations, I share them with you both to indulge my passion for the use of the lantern and in the hope that you find them interesting and useful, in conclusion; enjoy and be safe.
