Beautiful lighting is the key to a warm and welcoming home according to Good Housekeeping, and if you’re looking for easy ways to give your rooms a brand new, stylish look, one of the easiest ways is to replace your existing lighting with a more contemporary design. There are some wonderful lighting brands on the market at the moment, and here we look at some of the most popular products for 2017 so you can create the perfect look for your home.
Secto Design – Modern yet Rustic
While many lighting brands have a strong contemporary focus, Secto Design have taken their inspiration from a more rustic and environmentally friendly source. Their beautiful range of light shades, wall, floor and table lamps are made from natural wood and perfectly complement wooden furniture. Available in a choice of classic colours, from white and birch to walnut veneer and black laminate, this collection is wonderfully simple yet effortlessly elegant, creating an attractive and inviting atmosphere in any room. Thanks to their unique slatted design, these lamps cleverly play with light and shadow to great effect and their unusual shapes, such as the cone-shaped Magnum 4202 offer plenty of visual appeal.
Brokis – Award-Winning Bohemian Design
This award winning Czech brand combines high quality materials with excellent craftsmanship in a range that takes its inspiration from Bohemian art. These stunning pendants, wall, floor and table lamps are made from hand-blown glass, preserving an art form which has dated back for more than a century. Blending ancient and modern in a spectacular and unique collection, their creative collection comprises playful pieces such as the Memory ceiling lamp which evokes childhood memories, as well as more sophisticated and elegant pieces such as the unusual goblet-shaped Lightline S.
Petite Friture – Showcasing Young Talent
Established in 2009, the Petite Friture brand was launched with the mission of promoting and showcasing some of the best young talent in the lighting design industry. The result is a stunning range of accessible and stylish products that really tell a story and which bring enjoyment into everyday life. The Petite Friture Vertigo lamp is one such example, with its timeless style and floating appeal as it creates a beautiful light pattern in the space.
Le Klint – Pleated Elegance
The Le Klint range has a long pedigree dating all the way back to the early days of the 20th century and today has earned a deserved reputation for quality workmanship and beautiful lighting design. Their range comprises stunning plastic and paper lamps with complex and unique pleated designs like the Swirl as well as elegant and multifunctional metal and wood table, floor and spot lamps like the Carronade. In their drive to stay current, they are always working with new and innovative lighting architects and their collection perfectly complements both traditional and contemporary décor.
Pottery Project – Blending Contemporary And Prehistoric Design
Hailing from Murcia in Southern Spain, this gorgeous collection blends prehistoric ceramic techniques with cutting-edge contemporary trends to produce nature-inspired lighting products with unique textures and colours that reflect Mediterranean forests and beaches. Every piece is crafted by hand for a one of a kind feel, and each lamp looks just as wonderful during the day as it does when lit at night thanks to their subtle terracotta beauty. Pieces like the SpongeUp! with its uneven surface create an eye-catching focal point in any room and disperse light in a mystical and unusual way.
