Choice of lamps for the house

The choice of lamps for the house and their location is often a crucial point in the arrangement of the home environment.

Usually we are accustomed to thinking of the points of light as something automatic, necessary but whose location is not always taken into consideration when mrealizing the actual project. This often means that the house owner has bad illuminated areas or illuminated in the wrong way, creating discomfort and the subsequent need to buy more lamps over time, taking advantage of the sockets available. Beyond the positioning and height of the lamps, even the choice of the piece is an element to be taken into consideration.

Today, chandeliers and lamps are no longer an univocal location. And the return to minimal is often seen as an element of sobriety and Nordic inspiration. Part of this trend are lamps with a minimal design, which with their shapes are inspired almost to simple light bulbs, reworked in color and little more.

Minimal design bulb lamps

Among the lamps with minimal design that are on the market and that remind of bulbs, we have E27, by Muuto, which already by its name echoes the product. Colorful and unusual, is the reproduction of the classic old bulb, which once was to be hidden but that today finds new strength and comes out. Alone, inter alia, or in a group, since E27 can also be arranged together with other similar, perhaps choosing a different color for each, with an adjustable wire length without problems. Perfect over a dining table ...

Another example of a chandelier that immediately brings you to the old lamps, is Bulb. Simple, modern and elegant, it is a lamp where the lamp shade and even the cable are transparent and are the key decorative element. Although now it is some years old, it is a lamp that won the Good Design Award 2001 and it is a representative product of the brand &Tradition. Among the lamps with minimal design and reminding of the light bulbs, here we have Plumen, created to get a piece of the design really simple and pure. Stylish and refined, is obtained with a coiled cable in a funny way, which usually, as in the previous case, tends to be hidden.

The key feature of this lamp is the game of movement, presented directly by the bulb structure. As for lamps of the same type, even for models by Plumen, the compositional aligned or split effect matters, positioned over a dining table, in order to obtain an interesting and unusual game of light. Finally, the brand Ideal Lux offers in their catalog, a chandelier similar to a light bulb, but in extra large version. The product has a metal frame available in chrome finish or colored enamel. The lamp can be used with energy saving halogen solution, which is included in the package. Finally, the whole is accompanied by a cable long a couple of meters, to position it at the preferred height, also, for example in a dining room or on the dining table.

Simple and delicate lamps

If you are looking for just particular and a little unusual suspension details, here is Sotto Luce, with a range of products to match with different shades too. The proposed cables are covered with fabric and are available in many colors.

The shades most suitable to accompany various models can also be made of paper, if desired, such as Paper, namely those proposed by the brand Made in Design, famous for its online shop dedicated to design. And if you want something of delicate Petit Nuage, by Hervé Langlais it is light and simple. Customizable light positioning thanks to a particular fixing device for the ceiling, it can be connected to a grounded socket, avoiding the need of having electricity on the ceiling.

Also the power cable of the product is something curious, in addition to the lampshade. The latter is accomplished by using gingham cotton, with a triangular shape, perfect for a game of unusual light. While the power of this model is instead covered in red fabric and becomes a hallmark feature of the suspension, as well as interesting and unusual piece of furniture, as we have seen some time ago.
