Nordic influences in interior design do not create a cold atmosphere, but a kind of discreet, contemporary elegance that instantly adds more personality to an urban home.

Because the mark of a remarkable style is hidden in the details, do not neglect the importance of lighting objects in interior design: they dictate the ambiance and can highlight certain areas or create a feeling of intimacy wherever you want.

Light is an important part of an interior design, and in Scandinavian design lighting fixtures are key elements. Probably not by chance, if we take into account that in northern Europe, in winter, daylight is reduced to seven hours. However, lighting is essential for any space, being a source of comfort.

Whether we are talking about lamps or the warm light of candles, lighting gives flavor to a beautiful space and can fundamentally influence it.

Scandinavian design is known for its minimalism and simple lines, leading to the so-called "quality design", which combines practical features with a beautiful appearance, and lamps are the perfect example of a design object that must be functional but at the same time beautiful.

Spider

When you can choose from such a wide variety of chandelier and lamp styles, deciding on a single model becomes even more complicated.

Be guided by the timelessness of a design and you will see that there is only one winner: the Scandinavian style, simple and minimalist. The 12-arm pendant lamp is ideal if you are looking for a chic solution for central lighting, whether you are going to use it in the living room or the bedroom!

Molecular

Innovative materials combine with natural textures and traditional principles in Scandinavian design, which has the power to transform any home you can call "home". Finding the perfect balance between nostalgia and modernity, brass chandeliers and lighting fixtures are perfect for blowing a retro Scandinavian décor.

Geometry

If the tumult of modern life makes you long for order and extra rigor, turn your home into an airy space where you can fully relax.

Geometric details come to your aid, perfect if your home needs a stylistic "detox": opt for a sconce with metal angle lampshades or create a discreet type of glamor with a brass sconce, which transforms the structure of the luminaire itself in a decorative accent!

Industrial

If until now cement was associated with outdoor spaces, interior designers are preparing to change this vision!

The industrial look and Bauhaus accents are gaining more and more popularity, but you won't have to renovate your living room or reveal the plaster to recreate the same ambiance in your home.

A few industrial accents with a utilitarian aesthetic will help you achieve this without creating an impersonal ambiance: choose a pendant light fixture, one of the most prominent trends in interior design, or a pendant lamp in enamel, in case you want to illuminate a larger area.

Abstract patterns

Without a set of textures that create size and depth, the minimalism of the Scandinavian style can easily look a bit flat. So, invest in some decorative objects that can "spread" the monotony of flat surfaces and natural colors.

If you prefer classic decorative accents, opt for a suspended body with a 3D structure, in a neutral color. Wondering how to reconcile the love of Scandinavian minimalism with the need for color? Simple, with the herringbone lampshade, which compresses the essence of Scandinavia in a playful and feminine way!

Telescope

The shape may be dictated by functionality in Scandinavian design, but don't be in a hurry to think it's an austere style.

The telescopic floor lamps for the room lighting show you that a valuable design can shine even in the absence of redundant ornaments or decorations, and the effect is so chic! With a metallic or classic black finish, the telescopic lamps will integrate naturally into your home, whatever the color range.

You spend most of your time at home, so you need to feel fully represented. Forget about passing trends and rely on simplicity that defies trends while staying current and relevant.
