Modern pendant lamps for bold interiors!

Modern pendant lamps - bold or subtle?

Modern pendant lamps can basically be divided into two categories. Those calm, ascetic, perfectly matching the color scheme of the interior and not interfering too much with its uniform, monochromatic character, as well as models for the brave. The latter have an element of surprise and usually seduce with their original form or an interesting twist. Below you will find examples of designs that attract attention in just such a way, as well as those that are almost unnoticeable, and you will also learn what to pay attention to when choosing a modern pendant lamp for your interior.

Modern lamps vs harmony, monochromatic design and geometric forms

The basis of interior design in modern or minimalist style is to maintain harmony. Every design element should match and this applies to doors and windows, as well as the sofa, table or lamps. Perfect match and harmony, also apply to colors found in minimalist interiors. Most designers primarily use shades of white, gray and beige with contrasting elements in black or gold. In addition, it is worth noting the geometric forms, which are really the only decorative forms accepted by modern design.

A lamp that perfectly meets all these conditions and which is a choice that is not only elegant, but also calm and timeless will be the Vero pendant lamp (also available as a ceiling plafond). The round shape, the modern color scheme, the combination of a glass plafond with a smooth metal lampshade, and the availability of versions with a gold interior finish, make the Vero lamp a perfect example of a modern pendant lamp that, on the one hand, does not interfere too much with the style of the interior, and on the other hand, is its decoration.

Modern pendant lamp, and clean lines, smooth surfaces, glass and steel

In achieving perfect harmony, smooth, glossy surfaces that characterize modern spaces are extremely helpful. The materials that go best with them are transparent glass and steel, which do not interfere too much with the color scheme of minimalist interiors and go well with light, muted colors and black.

If you're looking for a modern pendant lamp that, on the one hand, will blend in with the surrounding design, and on the other hand, bring something of yourself to it, check out the Avia collection of pendant lamps, with a slightly artistic, extravagant character. These lamps are distinguished by their organic form, and their glass spherical shades are characterized by irregular indentations resembling craters or volcanoes. Avia lamp shades are available in three shades of glass - transparent, black and amber - and come in three sizes and in both single and triple versions, which would be great over a round dining room table or as decorative living room lighting.

Modern pendant lamps, and open spaces

Modern, minimalist interiors are bright and spacious, with no rigid division into functional zones separated by walls. Therefore, the lighting of such an interior should be designed and selected in such a way that every part of it is well lit, and the light mimics that of the natural one. This is the reason why it is so common in modern homes and apartments to see overhead lighting in the form of ceiling spotlights and spots, symmetrically distributed across the ceiling or several pendant lights, without the clear dominance of a single central light.

If you are looking for a lamp that will be "one of many" lamps in your living room and that will play a decorative role, bringing an atmospheric atmosphere to the room (which is hard to find in the case of classic ceiling spots), take a look at the Onyx pendant lamp. This lamp is made of transparent graphite glass and, despite its simplicity, has an extremely sophisticated, elegant, refined form. Combined with a bulb with a decorative filament, like a precious jewel, it will become an extraordinary decoration of any modern space.

Modern lamps with spherical shades in modern interiors

Pendant lamps with spherical shades are perfect for modern, minimalist interiors. After all, the form of the sphere reflects the idea of minimalism - "less is more" and is on the one hand extremely simple, yet elegant and very versatile. Lamps with lampshades in the form of a sphere are not too conspicuous and perform well both as main lighting and as additional decorative points of light. If you are looking for a spherical lamp, which will fit into a modern interior, bet on models with a lampshade made of transparent or white, glossy glass.

Just such lamps you will find in the Lamia collection of pendant lamps, which is characterized by extraordinary subtlety and elegance, and which at the same time does not lack a modern twist. Small, perfectly spherical lampshades made of glossy white glass are crowned with chrome or gold caps with long sleeves, adding to the lamp's character. Lamia lamps are available both individually and in larger groups on a strip or ceiling plate, so you can use them both as supplementary lighting in the bedroom, as main lighting in the living room, and as lighting for the dining room table or kitchen island.

How about something... designer?

Modern pendant lamps are also designer lamps that catch the eye and definitely have that "something" about them. To emphasize the ascetic nature of your space, it is worth betting on an interesting, unusual form while maintaining the leading shades, and if you want a strong accent that will be the focal point of the room, choose a bold color that will break the monochromatic nature of the interior.

A lamp that certainly attracts attention with its original form, for example, is the Stilla lamp. The lamp, with a shade resembling a drop of water, captivates with its organic, dynamic, yet extremely soothing character. The lamp shade is made of iridescent glass and is perfectly smooth, which, combined with the unusual form, makes it hard to resist the temptation to touch it. Depending on the nature of your space, you can choose a version with a silver or gold finish and the modern suspension will make Stilla fit beautifully into any contemporary setting. Available in single and double options, it will work as well in the living room as in the bedroom and will delight everyone at first sight.

Modern lamps vs. functionality!

Modern interiors are also characterized by high functionality of all design elements. Note that modern arrangements do not abound in unnecessary additions or purely decorative elements. This is due to the fact that in order to maintain the spacious, bright character of the space, you should not overwhelm it too much with the number of design elements, and wherever there are relatively few objects, what matters most is their practical use, facilitating daily functioning.

A lamp that has a very functional, yet modern, raw and design character is the Break pendant lamp. This lamp, although inspired by the industrial style, will fit perfectly into the decor of many modern living rooms, dining rooms or offices, while allowing you to direct light sources exactly where you need them most. The functional design will appeal to lovers of practical solutions, and the black finish will fit into any arrangement where gray, black and white reign supreme.
