Modern ceiling lamps for the living room - a brief description

Among ceiling lamps, we distinguish between several types of light fixtures. They are:

• pendant lamps (with one or more shades)
• low ceiling lamps
• plafonds
• modern chandeliers
• minimalist ceiling spotlights and spots (single and on strips, including directional)

All of these lamps, can be successfully used in a living room with a modern design, provided that their shape, character and materials from which they were made, fit into a streamlined, contemporary design. While you should forget about crystal chandeliers, already those with a very simple shape will work well in a modern interior. Minimalist plafonds i headlights on rails, as well as modern ceiling spots, w very non-invasive way will illuminate any modern interior, while when it comes to ceiling lamps and pendant lamps, their character must strictly follow this style.

Modern ceiling lamps for the living room - what are their characteristics

Modern ceiling lamps are designs that take different forms. However, we can identify some common elements that modern light fixtures have in common. They are:

• Simplicity of forms: Modern ceiling lamps have minimalist shapes, are based on simple solids and lines, and are devoid of unnecessary ornamentation.

• High-quality materials: The production of modern ceiling lamps is dominated by high-quality materials such as metal, glass, stone and high-quality plastics. These raw materials not only provide durability, but also allow to create interesting lighting effects.

• Functionality: Many modern ceiling lamps offer various features, such as the ability to control the direction of light, intensity or color temperature. Multifunctionality is an inherent feature of modern design, which is not only beautiful, but also practical

• Colors and finishes - modern ceiling lamps are characterized by limited colors and a matte or brushed, somewhat brutalist finish

Modern ceiling lamps - straight lines, geometric shapes and smooth surfaces

Modern ceiling lamps for the living room should be characterized by clean, straight lines, smooth surfaces and geometric shapes. Avoid patterns, extra ornaments or decorations. The basic and virtually the only decorative forms accepted by the minimalist style are geometric shapes. Spheres, cubes and cuboids, with their rounded or sharp edges, are the shapes most often found in minimalist spaces.

An interesting proposal for a modern ceiling lamp based on geometric shapes, is roll lamp with eight metal cylindrical tubes at lengthtion of 50 cm, suspended from wires in a plastic sheath. The metal tubes have integrated LED bulbs and act as minimalist covers (available in matte black or white) that focus the light and direct the beam centrally downward. The Roll 8 lamp will be great for a focal point in the living room or over a round table in a modern dining room.

What materials modern ceiling lamps are made of?

Modern ceiling lamps are primarily made of glass, steel or smooth (glossy or matte) plastic. Glass and steel are an excellent way to add lightness to interiors, and at the same time materials that will not interfere in any way with the color scheme, as they go well with both light colors and blacks.

Examples of such "non-invasive" modern lamps are lamps from the Alur collection, based on spherical lampshades made of transparent or white glass. Spherical lamps are beautiful yet subtle. Minimalist, but also elegant and timeless. In the Alur collection you will find sphere lamps with a slightly more industrial as well as minimalist and timeless character, because a sphere is a universal shape, and at the same time perfectly fulfills the basic premise of minimalism - "less is more".

Before you choose a lamp for your living room, be sure to:

• include various types of lamps in your design - floor lamps, wall lamps, table lamps. Only layered lighting will give your living room the charm you dream of. Light sources placed at different heights, with different character and intensity will allow you to relax, adjust the light to your mood and needs of the moment.
• use light to architect your interior. Properly selected and used fixtures will make the interior appear longer, larger, taller - the way you want it to be.
• consider solutions other than a central lamp. In some rooms, as well as in selected interior styles (including modern), the ceiling lamp in the role of the main lamp does not have to be the only solution at all. Consider rail-mounted spotlights or under- or surface-mounted luminaires. Be open to unconventional solutions, as long as they come out of your space for good!
• choose lamps that are large enough and have large shades. One of the most common mistakes made when buying a lamp for the living room is that the size of the fixture is too small. Don't be afraid to bet on a larger diameter, and it's best to try the lamp on before you buy it.
• match the lighting to the functional zones in your interior. The light is meant to serve its users during daily activities. If your living room includes a home office, a table where you eat meals or a reading chair, provide each of these zones with adequate lighting.
