Afterimage Lighting offers a wide range of styles to suit any home decor. From modern and sleek designs to rustic and vintage-inspired pieces, our collection is diverse. Some popular styles include:

  • Industrial: Often made with metal and featuring exposed bulbs.
  • Bohemian: Typically crafted with natural materials like rattan or bamboo.
  • Traditional: Classic designs often made with brass or glass.

Choosing the right size lantern is crucial for both functionality and aesthetics. Here are a few tips:

  • Consider the Room Size: Larger rooms can handle bigger lanterns, while smaller spaces may need more compact designs.
  • Height Matters: Ensure the lantern is hung at the right height. Generally, the bottom of the lantern should be about 30-36 inches above a table if hung above one.
  • Proportions: The lantern should be proportionate to the furniture and other decor elements in the room.

For the most part, installing indoor hanging lanterns is straightforward. Most of our lanterns come with easy-to-follow instructions. However, if you’re not comfortable with electrical work, it’s a good idea to hire a professional.

The type of bulb you use can affect the ambiance of your room. Here are some options:

  • LED Bulbs: Energy-efficient and long-lasting.
  • Incandescent Bulbs: Provide a warm, cozy light.
  • Edison Bulbs: Great for a vintage look.

Be sure to check the lantern’s specifications for compatible bulb types and wattages.

Cleaning and maintaining your indoor hanging lanterns ensures they remain a beautiful addition to your home. Here’s how:

  • Dust Regularly: Use a soft cloth to remove dust.
  • Check for Damage: Periodically inspect the lantern for any signs of wear and tear.
  • Clean the Glass: If your lantern has glass components, clean them with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth.

Our indoor hanging lanterns are designed specifically for indoor use. Using them outdoors could affect their durability and performance. However, we do offer a range of outdoor lighting solutions that are perfect for patios, gardens, and other outdoor spaces.
