For years now, it has been popular to have decorative candle lanterns as part of a homes interior décor. They look good as an accessory stuck in any nook or shelf. The trend has not faded, and now a popular choice for décor is outdoor candle lanterns. You can use them to update the look of your backyard. You can use them as décor by hanging them or setting them on tables or the bar top outside. There are some creative ways to make them really stand out in your backyard.

If you really want to go bold, you can purchase large oversized outdoor candle lanterns. These will make a bold statement no matter where they are hung. At home improvement warehouses they sell what are called sheppard hooks, typically used for hanging baskets. You can by them with a single hook, or as many as four. They usually stand about four feet tall. Hanging similarly styled lanterns on the ends will give you a great look. It will also bring the candlelight up higher and illuminate the entire space better. You can also buy these stands or hooks that are only off the ground about two feet, which would be great for some lower tiered lights, and bring the ambiance more eye level for the guests that are sitting in chairs. You can purchase the same plant hangers to go onto the side of your homes walls. This is great to hang the outdoor candle lanterns from because you can install them at whatever level you need to light up.

Another popular way to hang them is by string. It consists of using a sturdy string or thin rope and attaching them between deck posts, keeping the sway at the level you want the outdoor candle lantern to be, usually about head high. You will want to be sure to thread the candle lanterns on before permanently attaching the roping material to the deck.    

The ideas here are showing you how to get creative accessorizing with your outdoor candle lanterns. Since neither is a real permanent set, you can take them down after each party or leave them up all summer long! The choice is yours!
