The Scandinavian chandelier: A clean Nordic glow in every room!
With their airy design and beautifully enhanced colors of beige, brown, white, and silver gray, Nordic chandelier-style lights create a rustic and decorative atmosphere that is sure to be loved. Originating from 1950s interior design, wooden chandeliers, glass and light metal fixtures typical of countries such as Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway have won over a large proportion of French living spaces!
It is very aesthetic to illuminate a kitchen or family loft with a beautiful ceiling chandelier or light-colored wall lights when evening comes! Your family is sure to love your new Nordic decor, and especially the designer chandeliers we offer! The cozy and warm result never leaves anyone indifferent, and tends to soothe.
How to choose your Nordic chandelier?
Available in a wide range of materials, the Scandinavian chandelier adds charm to your entryway or bedroom. But depending on your available budget, as well as your tastes and the strength of your ceiling, you can choose different types of recessed lighting.
- Generally, the wooden chandelier takes center stage. Made of natural solid wood such as oak, maple, birch, and pine, these are often highly prized for forming the frame or lampshade of Scandinavian chandeliers. To contrast with their darker colors, a clear glass bulb is generally screwed into the socket, or several bright LED spotlights are inserted directly into the structure. You must understand that the larger the diameter of the recessed lamp, the more pressure it is likely to put on your ceiling. Be sure to ask for advice from a professional such as an electrician. Although glass is often chosen to decorate light wood chandeliers, crystal can also look very good! You will have a majestic chandelier.
- Chrome-finished metal in gray or gold, as well as white metal, are also choices among the many possibilities. As a recessed kitchen lamp, it is a type of material that is durable and easy to maintain. You can choose to pair it with a perforated metal lampshade, or one made of fine polyester, to create a modern look and diffuse the light effect with dimming. A white aluminum chandelier, for example, is very stylish and fits just as well in a Scandinavian bathroom as above a contemporary dining room table. Avoid black except for a small touch here and there to add contrast. Black will suit an industrial style better.
- Glass: Frosted, tinted, or clear glass illuminates the space with a highly appreciated general lighting. A glass globe in a duo or trio of pendant lights is particularly popular for creating lively and refined atmospheres!
- Crystal: Generally well known on the traditional round and cascading Baroque chandelier, the Scandinavian style can also be adorned with a beautiful bronze and crystal structure, or even copper, to illuminate your hallway. Its crystalline look fits very well in a living room where white, light gray, and dark blue colors predominate.
Often handcrafted in respect of tradition, the modern or retro vintage chandelier in wood will reproduce the most classic shapes such as the square LED panel, but also flat lampshades. You will find Nordic models in bell or cylindrical shapes, or even very original shapes! We are thinking in particular of the wired pendant light with an adjustable or fixed articulated arm.
Mix modern technology and Nordic lighting
Once you have settled on a beautiful pendant lamp, all that remains is to optimize the lighting. Choose the dimmable option if you can! Indeed, the low energy consumption of Scandinavian style chandeliers with bulbs equipped with a dimmer offers real energy savings. This is even truer if it is equipped with a motion detector.
