The cozy season has finally begun with autumn. It’s time to redecorate your home accordingly and create a nice atmosphere with suitable accessories. Some pumpkins and leaves already decorate your dining table and you want to put pretty lanterns on the sideboard and shelves. With the candlelight from the tea lights, they create a homely atmosphere, especially at dusk. In this guide, you’ll find out which different tea light glasses there are and which models suit your interior style.

Warm light, well protected: That’s what makes lanterns

Fire provides natural, warm light that creates a cozy atmosphere. The electric alternative can hardly replace this fascination, and so candles are a popular decorative element on warm summer nights, but also on cold winter and autumn days. However, open candles quickly go out if there is a current of air somewhere. Tea lights or candles are well protected in lanterns , so you can enjoy them for longer. In addition, tea light glasses are stable and do not tip over easily, even if it is stormy in the apartment or outside. This makes them much safer and reduces the risk of danger.

Lanterns are a good alternative or addition to open tealight holders or candle holders. With beautiful decorations and in many colors and shapes, they enrich your living and garden area as decorative elements.

On tables and floors: different models

Whether you want to create a special ambience with a candle on the dining table, decorate your bedroom or provide a natural and wind-protected light source at a nice garden party – you can use lanterns for many purposes. Below you will find an overview of the different variants.

Small table lights for a nice ambience

Table lights spread pleasant candlelight on your bedside or coffee table. You can often put small tea lights in this type of lantern. They are either completely protected or the table light remains partially open. Such half-open models are also decorative in smaller living rooms and their light creates a pleasant atmosphere on cold and dark days. In the garden, you can fill table lights with scented tea lights, which even keep mosquitoes away in the evening.

Playful lanterns for romantic moments

Lanterns are reminiscent of light sources from earlier times and therefore often appear romantic and nostalgic. In a lantern, the candle is enclosed on all sides – including from above. Lanterns in this form are therefore useful outdoors when the wind is blowing a little stronger. Then they live up to their name and protect the flame from going out. Since lanterns are often a larger form of lanterns, you can also use pillar candles in them.

Large floor lights for dim light

Floor lights are primarily designed to be placed on the floor. Here they emit a dim light. Floor lights are often relatively large and heavy so that they are not easily knocked over and stand firmly on the floor. Unlike lanterns, they are often open at the top. This means you can light and blow out the flame more quickly. In open versions, the flame of a thick pillar candle also radiates a pleasant warmth.

Well chosen: These lanterns match your living style

Would you like to enhance your living area with a few lanterns and use the glow of candlelight for lighting? Here are a few tips on which tealight glasses you can combine well with your living style.

Country house living style: natural and rustic

Country houses or rooms furnished in a country house style are mainly characterized by the material wood. It looks particularly beautiful if you use this material in the lanterns. A combination of glass and wood also looks good. In larger rooms, lanterns made of these materials look very harmonious. Smaller rooms are suited to subtle table lights made of glass or porcelain, especially in round shapes. When making your choice, it is best to base your choice on other furniture, for example your cupboard or your dining table.

Modern living style: puristic and straightforward

Simple and clear glass lanterns, even in cubic shapes, match the puristic charm of the modern living style . With subtle table lights made of pure glass, you can draw attention to sideboards or side tables. Floor lanterns made of metal are particularly suitable for larger rooms or on low windowsills.

Vintage living style: decorative and elaborate

Rooms in vintage style thrive on their unusual furnishings. Lanterns can be a little more opulent or have elaborate decorations. Colorful glass or fine, painted porcelain are suitable and easily combinable materials for the vintage style. Clay can also look very beautiful in these rooms, especially if the lantern is in more muted colors.

Conclusion: Your candles are well protected in lanterns

In the garden, lanterns allow candlelight to be enjoyed whatever the weather, and in the house they create a cozy and warm atmosphere. The flame is also protected and safe in them. At the same time, lanterns are a pretty decorative element for different living styles. With the following tips, you can easily find the right lantern for your needs.

• Are you looking for a lantern for outdoors? Lanterns protect the candle on all sides and also provide light when it is windy. In summer, table lights with scented tea lights help keep mosquitoes away.
• Are you looking for a lantern for indoor use? Floor lights look particularly decorative in large rooms. In smaller rooms, you can place half-open table lights on side tables, sideboards and window sills.
• Do you want to choose a lantern that matches your style? Models without decorations made of glass or metal are suitable for modern-style living rooms. In vintage-style rooms, tealight glasses can also be elaborately decorated. In the country house style, floor lights with a combination of glass and wood look very harmonious.
