Paper star lanterns

How to decorate with paper star lanterns?

Decorating with paper star lanterns adds the kind of soft, ambient lighting that brings a sense of calm to any room. Their glow is less about brightness and more about creating warmth and visual texture once the light is on.

Paper star lanterns work well in both everyday spaces and seasonal setups, depending on how and where they’re used.

• Windows: Add a gentle glow that becomes part of the room’s atmosphere day and night.
• Dining areas: Soften overhead lighting for a more relaxed, inviting setting.
• Corners: Bring light into quieter or unused parts of the home.
• Layered lighting: Pair with other lamps to create depth and balance in the room.

Each star lantern is designed in different sizes, colors and cutout patterns, allowing you to shape the mood of a space in a subtle, decorative way.

Pair paper star lanterns with existing lighting

Paper star lanterns are decorative lighting pieces designed to complement the lighting you already have. They aren’t used to replace your existing lamps, but instead add a soft, subtle layer alongside them.

For hanging setups and tabletop use, they are designed for use with our STRÅLA lighting accessories.

• Work well alongside table lamps, floor lamps or ceiling lighting to soften overall brightness in a room.
• Can be hung or placed where existing lighting feels too strong or too direct.
• Foldable paper construction makes each lantern easy to store and reuse across seasons while keeping your existing lighting in place.
• Cutout designs diffuse light into a gentle, ambient glow that blends with other light sources.

A star lantern doesn’t replace the lighting you already have; it adds another dimension to it.
