Jazz up your outside space this summer with these bright and light eco-friendly garden accessories.

Add a splash of colour and ambience to your garden with these eclectic recycled lanterns. They’re made from the waste and recycled materials from aerosol and drinks can manufacture in India. The designers of the lanterns found that factories that print on sheet metal to make aerosol and drinks cans have a certain amount of misprinted pieces and that these remnants lent themselves perfectly to repurposing for these ethnic looking home accessories. Aren’t they gorgeous? Each lantern holds a standard votive candle or tea light.
From ECOutlet, £16.95 plus delivery. For a more environmentally friendly option, you can buy Soy Tea Lights to burn with the lanterns. The Soy Tea Lights are natural, biodegradable, paraffin-free, non-toxic, GM-free, sustainably sourced and handmade in the UK.

For outdoor decorative eco-lighting, try these solar powered rope lights. They’re designed especially to work with the British climate so there’s no need for concern about them not working with our lack of strong sunshine, and once fully charged they’ll shine for 3 days without any further charging. They come with either 40 red or 40 yellow lights.
