Lantern Design Idea

One of the most common forms of paper decorations these days are paper lanterns. One can spot them almost everywhere, in a house, a shop, a restaurant, office etc. Their lights can really brighten your surroundings. Lanterns are pretty much in fashion, not just because they are cost-effective, but because they look trendy and extremely modern. There are many forms these lights come in like circular, rectangle-shaped, Hexagonal and more. One can use circular lights for design for activities as they come in wide range of colors and exquisite printing. These lights are designed using grain paper having bamboo reeds on all ends and deliver a soft heated shine when you position a light bulb inside. Don't stop yourself from picking up lights designed of golden or shiny paper in case you want to brighten in a western style. You can put these sky lanterns at roof in the center or at a corner.

Outdoor Candle Lanterns come in many shapes, sizes and designs. Whether you are looking for an Old West type of lantern or want your backyard to mimic East Asia or the Middle East, you will be able to find a lantern that fits your theme. Each design has its own unique shape.
If you want to recreate Old West campfires and ranch houses, the rustic lantern is a good choice. It will be made of metal and have a wide base and a handle. This allows it to be hung as well as put on a flat surface such as a table.
For Asian inspired themes, zen lanterns or pagoda lanterns are excellent choices. Zen lanterns are very basically constructed. They are usually short, square and made of iron.
The pagoda lantern is as ornate as the zen lantern is simple. Pagoda lanterns tend to be taller and taper at the top. However, one big difference is the cutout panels on the sides, which allow the light to shine through, are intricately designed. With zen lanterns, there are no cutout panels, just strips of metal that allow the light to pass through.
For Arabic themes, Moroccan lanterns fit the bill. These are usually built in a hexagonal shape and the sides are made of colored glass. Using this type of candle lantern can eliminate the need to buy different colored candles.

There are many other designs for outdoor candle lanterns but these are some of the most popular. The choice for your backyard, as always, comes down to your individual taste and the theme of the party you are throwing.
