Looking for a lampshade for the living room, a pendant light fixture for the kitchen, or a table lamp with a natural design? Choosing the right light fixture will affect not only the amount of light – but also the feel and character of every space in the house.
In the following guide, you will find inspiration, practical tips, and important information to help you choose the right lighting – whether you are looking for a soft fabric lampshade, a boho-style straw lampshade, or a light fixture made of natural material.
How to choose a lampshade or lighting fixture for your home?
1. Purpose and use
A wall lamp or pendant lamp will be suitable for central lighting. A table lamp or floor lamp will be used for spot lighting. It is important to match the type of lighting fixture to the needs of the space – lighting for the living room, dining area, kitchen or bedroom.
2. Natural material = warmth and character
A straw lampshade, bamboo lampshade, or wooden light fixture gives a warm, natural feel that fits a rustic, Nordic, or boho design style. A light-colored fabric lampshade also fits into a modern, minimalist environment.
3. Height and location
Installing a hanging light fixture above a kitchen island or dining table? Maintain a distance of about 70 cm above the surface. Standing lampshades blend in perfectly next to a sofa or armchair.
