Outdoor lanterns

Lanterns and candle lanterns create atmosphere, whether it's for a birthday party, a wedding reception or just a rainy Tuesday. Here you'll find a wide range for your tealights and pillar candles (and solar ones, too). Also, these lanterns can be used to spread their glow both indoors and outdoors.

Outdoor lanterns light the way

Outdoor lanterns have been in use for longer than any of us have been alive, but their purpose has changed a bit over time. They still cast the same warm glow they always have, but with the invention of electricity, they have become a very intentional design choice rather than the only option.

Today, we use outdoor lanterns not only because they’re an easy and practical way to illuminate our outdoor space—no electrician required—but also quite simply because we like them! Whether we’re relaxing on the balcony, chatting with a friend on the porch or hosting a party on the patio, outdoor lanterns add just enough light to the situation without feeling like a spotlight.

Outdoor candle lanterns are pretty and practical

Outdoor porch lanterns also offer a no-electricity-required lighting option if you don’t have a wired porch, patio, balcony or backyard light. Candle lanterns allow you to enjoy sitting outside in the evening without being in the dark, but should never be kept lit while unattended. If mosquitoes are an issue where you live, consider outfitting your outdoor porch lanterns with citronella candles in warmer months. Ditch the itch and enjoy the great outdoors just as lanterns intended!

The built-in handle on outdoor candle lanterns isn’t only helpful for setting your lantern on a table—it also makes it easy to take along with you. Add a lantern to your picnic accessories for a romantic meal in the park. Pack one next time you go camping for the perfect ambience to relax or tell scary stories. Or just enjoy it closer to home, grabbing your outdoor lantern before heading to the backyard for some stargazing.
