The chandelier is not only a source of light, but plays a key role in creating the atmosphere in the interior for which it is intended. Unfortunately, it often happens that the role of lighting is underestimated, and its selection is left until the last minute – which is a great pity. Let’s take a look together at 5 ways designer lighting can transform your interior.
1. Centre of space
Design lights have the power to draw attention to themselves in the interior and thus become its centrepiece. The light fixture does not have to be distinctive only in terms of size, and even small lights can impress with their artistic processing or colour. Especially in entrance halls, living areas or above dining tables, lighting fixtures can attract attention and be the first thing that catches everyone’s eye upon entering the room.
2. Accentuation of architectural elements
Various architectural details can appear in the interiors – decorative ceilings, niches, beams or today very modern textured walls. To ensure that these interesting architectural solutions are not left out, various types of technical lighting can be used to illuminate them – spotlights, ceiling lighting or track systems. Even these types of lighting can play a role in the interior — they can be minimalist and coordinated with the ceiling color to blend in as much as possible, or, on the contrary, we can highlight them by choosing a contrasting black.
3. Setting the atmosphere
Design lamps have a great power to influence the atmosphere of a space. When choosing light sources and bulbs, we should not forget their colour temperature. The warm light creates a cozy and calm atmosphere, making it ideal for bedrooms or children’s rooms. On the contrary, cold light can give a fresh and modern impression and give an invigorating effect, which is ideal for offices and studies. However, it is also important to bear in mind that some design lamps, due to their design, may have a lower ability to illuminate the interior space – for example, those made of dark or decorative glass. Such fixtures create soft ambient lighting rather than a harsh light that illuminates the entire room. So, if you are interested in a designer lamp, which is primarily a decorative element in its design, consider using other alternative light sources. For example, the aforementioned technical lighting. These additional light resources can help balance the aesthetics of designer fixtures with function.
4. Optical expansion of space
A smart choice of light fixtures can visually enlarge rooms. Light that bounces off the ceiling or walls creates the illusion of a larger space and adds airiness to the room. In small or dark spaces, properly placed designer lamps can create an effect of openness and spaciousness, while in rooms with low ceilings, vertically oriented lamps can add height and elegance.
5. Underlining the design style
Designer lamps are also a key element in tuning the overall style of the interior. Whether your interior is classic, modern or industrial, if you choose the right lighting, you can harmoniously complement and emphasize the interior. Crystal chandeliers can add a luxurious and sophisticated touch to a space, while minimalist or geometric lighting fixtures will emphasize the clean lines of a modern interior. At the same time, one should not be afraid of contrasts either – for example, classic crystal lighting in nickel, white or black metal can bring the real wow effect to the interior.
We therefore explained that lamps should be viewed not only as sources of light, but above all as design elements that can bring atmosphere, style and harmony to the interior. Therefore, their selection should not be left to the last minute, and before purchasing a light fixture, you need to think about what purpose they should serve in the interior.
