Rustic and Contemporary Candle Lantern

But not everyone likes the highly decorated lanterns with colored glass and cutouts, some people are looking for a more rustic or contemporary design to add to their home interior or exterior. Rustic and contemporary lanterns are much alike as they are both decorated with white glass and metal. With these fixtures it is not about the lighting effect but about the lantern itself which has something relaxing and fits well in a house with a lot of wooden furniture or decorated with modern furniture. The big difference between the two is that rustic decorative candle lanterns are often made to look older than they really are. With the peeled off paint they sometimes look antique while they were newly made in the factory.

Asian Candle Lantern

But some people are also not going to settle for rustic or contemporary designs. If you like an oriental theme more than you can also decide to add some Asian lanterns instead. Instead of glass and metal other materials like bamboo and wood are used. They are often decorated with original rice paper or paper that look like rice paper but is much stronger. Typical for oriental lanterns is to decorate the rice paper with a painting or an illustrative text which is often used in Oriental art.
