Transform Your Outdoor Living Space with Solar Mason Jar Lights

One summer night, my family and I sat on the porch and watched the fireflies light up the night sky. There were some mason jars of iced lemonade on the table next to us.


I used to spend a lot of summer nights as a kid collecting fireflies and putting them in glass mason jars. It's a childhood custom passed down from generation to generation that serves as a rite of passage.


I still take comfort in recognizable forms and recognizable mason jars even as an adult. They preserve memories and moments, and I'm constantly astounded by how versatile they are. Mason jars have become a fixture in my life, containing homemade jams and pickles and acting as flower vases, symbolizing all the straightforward and lovely things in the world.


As I grow up and live in the city, it's hard to find fireflies in the concrete jungle. How about putting string lights into a mason jar and let it bright up my little nest? I love the simple things and I hope you do too.



Here I am gonna share with you some ideas to use solar mason jar lights to decorate your outdoor living space.



1) Use Solar Mason Jar Lights for Desert Garden


A desert garden is a style of outdoor area that includes plants that are adapted to live in severe conditions and is created to thrive in a dry, arid climate.


The Boho concept, which incorporates aspects of organic textures, earthy tones, and free-spirited flair, is a fantastic choice for a desert garden.


Solar mason jar lights can be hung from tree branches or cactus branches to create a whimsical and fun atmosphere while also showcasing the distinctive beauty of the desert environment. As the texture of the trees and the cactus are very special, their surfaces are rich with lots of grooves and contours. The solar mason jar lights can be placed inside these recesses, adding a touch of magic to the landscape while also providing enough light at night to make it feel like a magical place.


The color warm yellow light is ideal for this motif since it gives the room a warm and welcoming glow, which matches well with the desert environment.


Tiki torches are a terrific addition to the room because they can add to the Boho motif and help create a cozy and welcoming feel. The tiki torches can be positioned in a naturalistic manner, such as between the cactus or next to the path, to coordinate with the garden and mason jar lights.


2) Use Solar Mason Jar Lights for Coastal Garden


A Coastal garden with a view of the ocean is ideal for a beachy theme. Solar mason jar lights can be set in a line down the walkway to improve the ambiance, simulating the ocean's shoreline. This will aid in giving the impression that you are standing on the beach admiring a stunning sunset.


The mason jar lights' blue light symbolizes the color of the sea, offering a tranquil and restful environment that goes well with the seaside surroundings. With this kind of outdoor lighting, medium brightness is ideal since it provides just enough illumination for safe navigation without detracting from the beauty of moonlight reflecting on the sea.


Additionally, paper lanterns can be placed in between the solar-powered mason jar lights to create more layers of light. The paper lanterns offer an additional layer of texture and depth to the outdoor area, complementing the mason jar lights and coastal garden.


3) Use Solar Mason Jar Lights for English Garden


Locations with English gardens and flowerbeds are ideal for the romantic theme. Generally, there will be a table and some chairs nearby, so you can sit and enjoy the garden atmosphere. However, this type of outdoor space is often lacking in lighting options because it doesn’t have electricity available. Solar mason jar lights are perfect for this location because they don’t require any wiring or electricity to operate.


Solar mason jar lights on the table will have a great effect in enhancing the mood, especially if your table has a romantic pattern, they can illuminate it and give a romantic touch. But please note that if you have your solar mason jar lights on the table, it should be the focal point, which means avoiding putting candles or other lights there to distract attention and be too dazzling.


To ensure that the lighting integrates seamlessly with the surroundings, it is best to use lighting colors that complement the hues of the flowers. In the daytime, you can enjoy the color from the flower while at night, the colored lights emit from a solar mason jar can also make the garden colorful.


The solar mason jar lights will be complemented by fairy lights, adding to the scene's magical ambiance. The fairy lights can be hanging on top of the table, which can provide with ambiance lights.


4) Use Solar Mason Jar Lights for Courtyard Garden


Why not make a Mediterranean theme for your courtyard garden with a fountain? To create a warm and inviting atmosphere, hanging solar mason jar lights from a pergola is a perfect choice. When it comes to a pergola in the courtyard, string lights will be the first option coming to most people's mind. However, to make the Mediterranean style more lovely and special, we strongly recommend trying solar mason jar lights, as they look so close to life that they can add a human touch to your garden.


The lighting color should be amber to reflect the warm and rich tones of Mediterranean design. Using low brightness solar lights will give a soft, subtle glow that won't overpower the space.


If you want something exotic, then solar mason jar lights go well with Moroccan lanterns. Just try combining them, it will create a beautiful and unique lighting design. Then, where should the Moroccan lanterns be? Remember we have the fountain in our Mediterranean courtyard garden, so we can put Moroccan lanterns above the fountain. In this case, you need to make sure the brightness of the Moroccan lanterns are bright enough to illuminate the fountain if tharee is no ligplacedcing in the fountain. But if you have the fountain lights, then the Moroccan lanterns should be not too bright so that they don’t obstruct the view of the fountain. In this case, you should choose a more subtle light source.


5) Use Solar Mason Jar Lights for Cottage Garden


A pleasant and nostalgic ambiance can be produced by a cottage garden with a vintage theme.


The ideal setting for a cottage garden is with some stone walls, that is because the stone walls can be used as a backdrop for the garden. The cottage garden should also have an old-fashioned feel to it, so you can put some vintage items in the garden such as old pots and pans. Stone walls can also be used to support the plants and flowers as well as create a boundary around the garden.


So, where should we install the solar mason jar lights? Solar mason jar lights on the steps can illuminate the way as well as add to the ambiance and give off a cozy, welcoming vibe.


If you want to create a vintage feel, that can be achieved by using lighting that is aged yellow. The brightness should be good for guests to see the routes at the same time be not too bright to break the overall balance.


The solar mason jar lights can be complemented by tea lights to complete the retro aesthetic. It works best to set the tea lights on the handrails of the stairs if it happens to have the flat surfaces. However, you can also put the tea lights on the tabletops or on the window sills. This will guarantee a unified and consistent design as well as adequate lighting for the entire area.
