Moroccan lanterns come in a variety of different shapes, colors sizes and even materials. They offer a blend of elegance and antiquity that can give any room in your home a unique and exotic feel. Characteristics of every lantern differ, but detail comprises to create that exotic theme.
Colors
You’ll often see Moroccan lanterns designed using
rich, deep colors ranging from reds and oranges to dark blues and greens. Some
Henna lamps, which are a type of lantern created from goat skins, often have
been colored with paprika and saffron dyes that add to its rustic look.
Textures
Moroccan lanterns are made from a variety
of materials, including brass, metal, iron and glass. As mentioned before, goat
skins are commonly used to create Henna lamps and lamp shades. Textured glass
used for many lanterns also creates a softer light compared to non-textured
glass.
Sconces
Sconces are another type of Moroccan
lantern that lays flush on your wall. They are perfect for adding decorative
and subtle lighting to a hallway, or perhaps a bathroom. Sconces can be made
from glass or, like Henna lamps, with goat skins.
Lanterns
Lantern style lamps are made from stained
glass and deeply tinted, often with decorative textures. They often elude
elaborate shadows and patterns that add a special ambiance to the room.
