Create a wonderful outdoor environment with stylish and decorative torch holders - nothing is as cozy as a lit garden and/or patio. That torch holders and torches have traditionally only been used during wintertime is old-fashioned, as these can be used all year round when evening darkness falls. Nowadays, we place higher demands on design and function as these become a beautiful feature among all the lovely greenery and garden furnishings.
Previously, torches were used at entrances to houses to light up doors and similar, but today we can use them in more creative ways. A torch holder on a stake can be used out in flower beds and low shrubs to illuminate properly, or in a pot as a beautiful addition to plants and flowers.
Rusty torch holders
There are many things you can do to create an extra cozy feeling in the green room. A hot tip is to use tones and colors that blend well into the environment, and then different types of green color are usually suitable. But to get that little extra, you can decorate with rusty details. The earthy and warm shades of rust provide a warmer feeling, which is suitable for torch holders, lanterns, and other garden decorations. At Lerbo Trädgård, you will find a wide range of exactly rusty garden furnishings!
Create Atmosphere with Outdoor Torch Holders
When daylight fades, live candles can give the garden a whole new character. A beautifully placed torch holder creates a warm point of light and can highlight the garden's shapes, plantings, and pathways.
Torch holders are often used in autumn and winter but are also suitable for cool spring evenings and late summer nights. They can contribute to an inviting feeling during outdoor dinners, garden parties, and other occasions when you want to make the outdoor environment especially welcoming.
Rusty Torch Holders – Beautiful Details in the Garden
Rusty garden decorations have a natural place in many garden environments. The warm rust tone harmonizes nicely with green leaves, flowering perennials, natural stone, and wood.
A rusty torch holder can therefore be decorative even when the torch is not lit. It can become part of a larger composition together with plant supports, pots, and other garden details.
At Lerbo Garden, we appreciate products that can take their place in the garden without competing with the plants.
Which Torch Holder Should You Choose?
The choice depends on where you want to place the torch holder and what expression you want to create.
Spike Torch Holder
A torch holder on a spike allows you to place the point of light a bit above ground level. It can be decorative near plantings and pathways, provided that the placement is stable and that there is sufficient distance from plants and other flammable materials.
Hanging Torch Holder
A hanging torch holder offers a different visual expression and can become a lovely focal point in the outdoor environment. Choose a secure hanging location and follow the product’s instructions regarding distance and use.
Ground-placed Torch Holder
Ground-placed torch holders are particularly suitable by entrances and in open areas. They should stand firmly on a flat and non-flammable surface, protected from tipping over or being hit.
Tips from Lerbo Garden – Think About the Whole
When we work with garden design, we consider how the garden’s different parts interact. This also applies to lighting.
A few well-placed points of light can often create a nicer overall effect than many torches scattered without a clear plan. Start from the garden’s pathways, entrance, and patio and choose torch holders that match the style of the house and garden.
Always keep fire safety in mind. Torches should stand or hang securely, be kept at a safe distance from plants and other flammable materials, and never be left unattended. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and any local fire regulations.
