Choosing the Right Lantern

Choosing the Right Outdoor Lighting
Fixtures

Choosing
the right outdoor lighting fixtures is a critical final touch to a new
home or a newly refreshed home. Copper lanterns can be the jewels that
make a modest home appear to be a mansion, and conversely the appearance
of a luxury home can be dampened by choosing the wrong outdoor lanterns.

In selecting the best outdoor light fixtures for your home there are three
factors to consider:

SIZE

STYLE

PLACEMENT

The size of the lantern is important! Often, people choose copper
lanterns that are too small for the home and thus miss their desired
effect. Sometimes lanterns that are inappropriately large for the porch
and door area are chosen. Size and proportion really come into play when
matching post lanterns along a walkway or driveway with gas
light sets on the porch or a lantern with large scrolls above the
front entrance. Feel free to contact our “lantern specialists”
at Carolina Lanterns and Accessories. They are knowledgeable professionals
who can advise you about size and proportion in choosing copper outdoor
lighting fixtures.

The style of your outdoor lighting fixtures should be complementary to
the style of your home. Here at Carolina Lanterns and Accessories, we
know that we offer a group of copper gas lights or copper electric lights
that will enhance the style of your home. Considering all the models and
options, we offer literally thousands of possibilities, but not every
lantern is a good match for every home and application. It is our purpose
to help you to find the perfect match in both outdoor lighting fixtures
and indoor copper lanterns, taking in to consideration the size, style,
exterior features, and lines of your home.

Placement is also very critical in attaining your desired look and effect
of outdoor lighting fixtures. When lantern placement is beside a door,
they must not be mounted too high on the wall, loosing the value of the
light and beauty of the copper gas lantern. Placement of a single copper
gas lantern
over the door can set the mood for entering guests, however depth from
the wall and style of gas lantern are critical. A look of luxury and fine
taste is created by placing electric copper lanterns that exactly match
the style of outdoor gas lights used in the front of the home in other
applications; on the garage or carriage house, at the side door or back
porch, around the pool, patio, or garden.
