In the long river of culture, butterflies carry rich symbolic meanings: in ancient Greek mythology, they symbolize the reincarnation of souls and life; in traditional Chinese culture, the allusion of "Zhuang Zhou's Dream of the Butterfly" contains a yearning for the realm of freedom. Modern designers incorporate the beautiful shape, colorful colors and light texture of butterflies into lamp design, making butterfly decorative lights not only lighting tools, but also artistic decorations in space.
According to the "Interior Design Trend Report" (Source: Authoritative Interior Design Website), the application of natural elements in interior decoration continues to heat up, and butterfly elements have become a popular choice because of their beauty and cultural connotations. In the field of outdoor decoration, butterflies also rely on the design concept of "natural symbiosis" to become the finishing touch of courtyards and gardens - imagine that in the twilight, the butterfly lights outdoor projects the light and shadow of its wings on the lawn, which contrasts with the flowers, which is the best annotation of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.

Pastoral flowers or retro patterns are often seen on the wings, and the colors are mostly warm tones (gold, brown, dark green). For example, the iron gold butterfly string lights, the old-fashioned wings seem to travel back to the medieval countryside, suitable for living rooms, restaurants or garden balconies, creating a warm and natural atmosphere.
