We recommend our Asian lanterns primarily for decorative purposes. In helping you decide which lanterns will best suit your home lighting and exterior lighting needs, we invite you to consider one, or all the following facets of our products:

• Interior Décor and Outdoor Lighting
• Texture
• Color

Our lanterns look brilliant when hung over a window, and will liven up a bookcase or a dark corner, generating more space, dimension and light to underused areas of the home. To create the ambience of a meditation garden, consider them next to a tropical plant or statue.
Other uses for silk lanterns:

• Garden lighting, deck lights, patio lights
• Dance Floors
• Stairwells, spiral staircases
• Master bedrooms
• Fengshui, oriental lighting
• Pond Gardens

Solid silk hanging lanterns lend themselves to ambient light, while brocaded silk lanterns shed a sultry glow. Wattage of bulb will definitely affect intensity of light and desired atmosphere, as will color of the fabric (see Color, below). Exotic to the touch and sight, brocaded lanterns provide a discreet contrast to dark interiors and corners. They emit soft, spot lighting where you don't want ambient light to be too obtrusive. Consider our brocaded patterns as a way to spice up and deepen the contrast to any modern, metallic furniture or Swedish wood tones.

The secret beauty of our Asian lanterns is in the way they "contain" light and flesh out the color of the fabric. Red encourages strength and energy while green and pumpkin hues aid in digestion. Feeling "blue"? Pink is an ideal pick-me-up for those overcast days and Northern winters. Blue works well in living rooms and meditation rooms.  Select among varying shapes, sizes and color and experience our lanterns for yourself!
