The bamboo chandelier: Light up your interior with a natural and zen touch!
Bamboo is one of those designer decorations that we love to install on the wall or ceiling of a living room, bedroom, or Japanese bathroom to brighten up the space. In East Asia (China, Japan, Korea...), bamboo has been worked to create beautiful decorations, including indoor lamps. The soft lighting created by this continuously growing natural material creates a warm and very welcoming atmosphere in your space. Whether as a lampshade on a plastic or metal frame, or as a 100% bamboo pendant light, you can easily decorate every room in your home by choosing a superb chandelier made from this flexible and highly durable wood.
Which type of bamboo chandelier should you choose?
You can choose a bamboo chandelier that mimics a retro vintage pendant light to create beautiful lighting effects, or a much more contemporary model inspired by a designer of our time. Most of the time, the natural bamboo light fixtures we find on the market, and especially in our online store, are crafted in classic shapes such as origami or animal shapes!
- Round: The round bamboo chandelier is woven, thus diffusing a soft flow of light that creates illumination through the openwork spaces of the lampshade. A medium-power LED bulb is screwed into the socket inside, allowing you to light the space with low energy consumption but sufficient power. It is the kind of model that looks great as a kitchen, living room, or dining room pendant light.
- Square: A square chandelier is quite contemporary. It is installed in a space where a "spotlight" effect and directional lighting are needed. Depending on the size of the room, the size of the square chandelier chosen can vary to create a spotlight effect above a dining table, a headboard, or a reading area above an armchair. Keep in mind that a large pendant light will illuminate more, especially if the lampshade is woven.
- Cylindrical or conical: With a very modern design, this type of light fixture emits a soft light but focused lighting. Make sure to choose a bulb with a certain number of lumens
- Hat-shaped: light and airy, this contemporary bell- or hat-shaped pendant chandelier blends into any interior. Whether in a bedroom or bathroom, but also as an outdoor light fixture. It creates indirect and openwork lighting on the ceiling, while also projecting a fairly powerful flow of light because of its bare bulb. We therefore recommend a smoked glass bulb, or one with a fairly moderate number of watts.
Which type of bamboo chandelier should you choose?
A large number of bamboo pendant lights are available to you. Just like rattan models, although the latter turn out to be very bohemian and do not always match other materials. Bamboo, on the other hand, has the ability to blend into an industrial, southern, or minimalist style environment.
A two-material chandelier with bamboo?
The originality allowed by creativity and the mixing of cultures makes it possible to harmonize many different material styles. That is why in our online store, you will find bamboo and matte black metal chandelier models, enhanced by a glass bulb.
Others will be much more minimalist, such as an aluminum structure bulb with a bamboo lampshade body.
The arrangement of bamboo chandeliers
A single bamboo ceiling light fixture will be able to create beautiful shadow effects on the ceiling, but you can vary the styles! You can notably opt for a trio of chandeliers in a row. Or even a single model that will be the centerpiece of your living-dining room! For example, in the shape of a revisited hot air balloon chandelier. That is to say, bamboo replaces crystal or opaline glass.
Why is the bamboo light fixture so highly appreciated?
In addition to its sleek design and minimalist elegance in a cozy interior, this material has a low environmental impact.
- it regrows endlessly when cut.
- Drought-resistant. It does not require much water.
- Malleable: designers can imagine curved and futuristic lines with bamboo's ability to be easily worked. Its flexible fibers allow this, unlike solid wood.
- ideal for a child's bedroom: Unlike a crystal chandelier or a traditional wooden model, bamboo is light and wear-resistant. It is therefore less likely to be damaged by a toddler's antics or injure someone in the event of a fall. But also, it provides a soothing soft atmosphere for a child.
Like many models in our collection and regardless of its material, you can choose a rattan or bamboo chandelier model with a dimmer built into its structure. You can thus lower the color temperature according to your needs!
