11 trendy lighting fixtures that will fit into any interior
The power of light should never be underestimated. After all, this is an accent, an accessory, and practicality – all in one.
Competently built lighting can make even the hostess more beautiful. Not to mention the fact that both mood and well-being can depend on light. But I want the lamp to look also beautiful and modern. We have collected several options for fashionable lamps for any interior.

1. Decorating an apartment “semi-antique” will require appropriate lamps: forged, best of all – handmade, made of specially aged metal.
2. Wall sconces in the shape of animals, fairy-tale characters are an ideal choice for a nursery. They give a soft diffused light and are also very popular with babies.
3. You can safely hang a modern chrome and glass lamp in the bathroom. It will be in harmony with plumbing fixtures and accessories: hooks, shelves.
4. Richly decorated crystal lamps are back at the height of fashion. They will give the necessary weight to a spacious living room with a high ceiling. However, such a chandelier will not work for a small apartment.
5. Wall and floor lamps with a lampshade in warm colors are suitable for a bedroom or a seating area in a common room. In the bedroom, you can limit yourself to them, and refuse a ceiling chandelier.
6. If you are creating a green kingdom around you, decorating the interior with indoor plants, add lamps in the “flower” style.
7. The tranquil, modern interior, which favors natural materials, is a great place for lamps with natural wood elements.
8. “Space” hi-tech – this is bold forms, the dominance of metal and expensive plastic. The more bulbs in the chandelier, the better, such an interior should be flooded with a sea of light.
9. If the rooms in your apartment are dark and face north, choose a multi-colored glass lamp. They will cheer you up even on the gloomiest day.
10. For the home of exotic lovers who fill shelves with souvenirs from distant countries, lamps with ethnic motives are perfect.
11. Salt lamps will slowly melt under the heat of the lamp, giving not only light, but also health. They are useful for diseases of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, normalize blood pressure, increase immunity.
Keep in mind
* Now in vogue illumination from neon tubes (neon shines evenly and beautifully, serves for decades). If you make a spectacular backlight along the bottom of the wall, you get a kind of glowing plinth.
* The lamps built into the wall and the floor also look interesting, which, for example, can illuminate the path from the corridor to the room.
* If during the day the room serves as a rest room for the whole family, and at night it is a bedroom, it needs both bright light from a chandelier and dim light from soft lights.
* Luminaires with a dimmer are very convenient – a device thanks to which you can change the brightness of the light.
* It is better to place several dim sconces in the nursery than one large chandelier.
* Lighting must be safe: no crystal chandeliers in the nursery, low-lying lamps in the kitchen. In the bathroom, hang only those lamps that indicate that they can be used in rooms with high humidity.
* There should be enough light in the room: from 15 to 25 W per 1 m2 area. There should be no sharp transitions from shadow to light, bright surfaces, glare – this is very harmful to the eyes.
