Fall Lanterns - Shop Harvest Inspiration

Whether you choose to make your own or buy battery-operated ones, fall lanterns create the best sort of cozy ambiance.
Rustic Charm
One popular way to decorate with fall lanterns is to go for a rustic look. You can achieve this by choosing lanterns made of wood or metal and adding simple elements such as fall leaves, twigs, or pinecones to the inside. For an even more rustic feel, replace the candle with an LED light or battery-powered string lights to create a warm and cozy glow.

Pumpkin Power

Another fun way to incorporate fall lanterns is to use pumpkins. You can carve out the inside of a pumpkin to create a unique candle holder, or simply paint a small pumpkin in fall colors and place a candle inside. For a longer-lasting option, consider using a ceramic pumpkin lantern that can be used year after year.

Color Splash

Fall is all about beautiful colors, so why not let your lanterns reflect that? Choose lanterns in warm colors such as orange, red, and yellow, and add some fall-colored candles for a pop of color. This look works great in groups and can be used both indoors and outdoors.
