Originally made to encase the light of a flickering flame, lanterns were first designed for function, not fashion. Today, they incorporate both. Take this one for example: Made to mount to your wall, this piece is crafted from metal and showcases a cylindrical construction, putting a contemporary twist on a traditional silhouette. A wavy glass shade diffuses light from any compatible bulb up to 100W, while a wet location rating makes it ideal for your outdoor ensemble.
I waited almost a decade to be able to afford renovating the exterior of my house. I deliberated a long time before deciding on the perfect outdoor lighting. I ordered 5 small lanterns and 2 large lanterns, and they look AMAZING. Honestly, they look so good that I think they're my favorite part of the reno. I've received numerous compliments on them and I couldn't be happier!!. Wren. Palos Park, IL. Sun Aug 04 2019
