Down to the wire

This Wire Weave lamp consists of nickel-plated mesh wire interwoven with tiny lamps. The sculptural-looking light source comes with a two-metre cable and is suitable for use with a 25-watt bulb.

Metallic magic

For a more classic take on the traditional lantern, try this glass and aluminium option from Zara Home. The jute handle gives it an ever-so-rugged edge and means the pretty tealight holder can be hung up wherever you please.

Enchanted forest

We love stringing up fairy lights in the garden, and Ikea’s Solvinden decorative elements add that little something to the overall effect. Available in a range of colours, including these simple but beautiful white versions, the mini lanterns can be popped over the bulbs of your fairy lights and are easily interchangeable for added versatility.

A light in the dark

If you want to introduce some evocative lighting into your outdoor space, but are looking for something a little unusual, try hanging up this lantern picture from Home Centre. It comes fitted with an LED lamp so will glow gently in the dark.
