Your lighting source

Today we observe a tendency to minimization, and it affects every aspect of our life - minimum paperwork at our offices, minimum eccentricity in our clothes and so on. Modern house designs are the best examples of minimalism. It had affected even the sphere of lighting.

Farewell to the excessive decorative lampshades and many crystal links. No more gorgeous chandeliers. Today metallic lampshade gain ore and ore popularity, metal laces with the bulbs hidden inside of them can be seen in many houses. Many people prefer simple solutions and lampshades in the shape of a sphere or trapezium of matte glass.

Of course, there are original solutions for those who don’t want to waste money – they make a lampshade for their ceiling lamps from an umbrella, simply hanging it upside down from the ceiling. But this is probably and exception that proves the general rule. Simple and austere torchieres and table lamps firmly occupy our living rooms, bedrooms and cabinets. People also buy the so-called ‘cold-styled’ floor lamps that have a metallic stem and simple glass lampshade with no décor at all.

Another trait of the minimalism in lighting is recessed and hidden lighting. In this case sources of light are placed along the walls and hidden by a special ridge. It helps to enlarge the room’s volume and turn our attention away from the lights. There is also a tendency of using the lights that are embedded in the furniture or wall niches, or come together with mirrors and shelves as a united piece.

Though romantic people can be happy - real candles are always popular. Even today candles are considered to me the main decoration of a dining table.
