Tiki Torches for Decks
Last summer, we attached tiki torches to deck railing using this product. We love lighting the torches during the evenings for ambiance (and to keep the mosquitos away!).
After building a new deck this summer, we upgraded from basic bamboo torches to glass Polynesian statues filled with tiki oil.
The blue-green glass is stunning in the sunlight and the “King Oahu” face is a fun, understated nod to mid-century tiki culture.

An added bonus? We won’t need to replace these torches each year (which is typically the case with inexpensive bamboo torches). Sturdy and durable, these guys can hang out on our deck for years to come.
Not into Polynesian style? No problem. There are tiki lamps to fit any decor style.

Tabletop Tiki Torches
My mantra when it comes to lighting – add more of it.
Once you’ve chosen the tiki torches for deck railing or the perimeter of your patio, sprinkle in tabletop oil lamps. Add them on flat surfaces such as side tables, garden stools, coffee tables, and dining tables.
After all, it’s a two-for-one bonus: more ambiance, less mosquitos.
