It’s that time of the year again… We can FINALLY go from entertaining and chilling indoors (in other words, escaping from our extreme HEAT) to exploring the world outside! When the weather in the ME gets this pleasant all we want to do is be outside, enjoying the fresh air. Which makes it the perfect excuse to amp up your outdoor space with some cute lantern lighting! I mean, it’s almost your duty as the host right… not just an excuse to buy adorable lighting, no… never. 😉
So for some of us lucky ones that are blessed with a balcony or garden – here are some options to create the ultimate space to host your guests outdoors. The goal is to create a warm, friendly and super cosy environment for them to enjoy and relax, and what better way to set the mood than with some beautiful lantern lighting.

Let me tell you, outdoor lighting (or even indoor lighting for that matter) plays a huge role in giving your are the right FEEL. Think about it, a warm coloured light, like a candle, can make you feel like you’re at the beach getting hugged by the sun rays, while a harsh white light is reminiscent of the blank, fluorescent hallways of a supermarket — not what we’re going for at all!
Moreover, the design of the lantern lights you choose can tie your entire outdoor space together. You can give the space a homey feel, beach-club vibes, or even an edgy, modern aspect! Lanterns can also act as the perfect accent pieces in your decor, all depending on the style you choose.
