There’s something about lantern-style lighting that instantly makes a space feel warmer — whether it’s flickering on a mantle, anchoring a console table, or lining a porch step at dusk. I’ve been slowly building out a little “lantern love” collection of my own, and I wanted to round up eight of my favorite styles so you can find the one (or two, or eight) that fits your space.
From rustic wood-and-glass classics to sleek matte black and moody cranberry red, there’s a lantern here for every corner of a farmhouse-modern-coastal home. Let’s get into it.
1. Rustic Wood + Black Metal Lanterns
Classic and warm, these wood-framed lanterns with the criss-cross glass panels are the kind of piece that never goes out of style. Perfect layered in varying heights on an entry table or mantle.

2. Black Wire Farmhouse Lantern
This one’s for the modern farmhouse lover — the open wire silhouette adds texture without feeling heavy, and it pairs beautifully with a bit of greenery tucked at the base.

3. Natural Woven + Black Lanterns
Bring in a little coastal warmth with these woven rattan lanterns. I love how the natural texture softens a space and plays so well with a small potted succulent alongside it.

4. Distressed White Cathedral Lanterns
Soft, distressed, and just a little bit romantic — these whitewashed lanterns are perfect if your palette leans light and airy. A gorgeous pairing for a styled tiered tray or window ledge.

5. Gold + Glass Lanterns
For a touch of warmth and shine, these brass lanterns bring just the right amount of glam without feeling overdone. Beautiful stacked on a few linen-bound books for height.

6. Classic Black + Glass Lantern
Clean, modern, and endlessly versatile — a matte black lantern is one of those pieces that works in nearly every room. It’s the one I’d recommend starting with if you’re building your collection from scratch.

7. Natural Wood + Galvanized Lanterns
This pairing has that “found at a farmhouse market” feel — weathered wood bases topped with galvanized metal caps. Gorgeous grouped together at varying heights.

8. Rustic Red Metal + Glass Lanterns
Perfect for the holidays but honestly beautiful year-round, these deep cranberry lanterns add a moody pop of color that photographs so well against neutral textiles.
