Scandinavian pendant lights: Authentic, warm lighting!
Often minimalist and rustic, the Scandinavian light fixture is a perfect fit for all types of modern interiors! With their light wood finishes and neutrally colored metals that diffuse a beautiful luminous atmosphere throughout the room, Nordic pendant lights are an excellent choice for highlighting your interior décor. All while inviting nature to illuminate your loft, dining room, or even a child's bedroom.
Why are Scandinavian pendant lights so popular?
They have won over many people over the years. Their simple, natural look, often combining wrought iron with wood, creates a soft and warm atmosphere. Scandinavian-style pendant lights have proven to fit seamlessly into both vintage and modern homes.
Here are some other reasons why Nordic-style pendant lights are so popular:
- They feature simple, elegant lines (round, square, oval, linear...)
- The search for authenticity through natural materials is making a major comeback.
All these qualities make the Scandinavian pendant light an ideal choice for decorating your ceiling or walls.
Which style of Scandinavian pendant light should I choose for my interior?
There are as many styles as there is imagination in the creativity of interior designers, but generally, you will find the most classic shapes with sleek designs:
- A round pendant light: It can be extended with a light natural wood base that connects the lampshade to the cable. This lampshade can be a clear glass globe with a filament LED bulb inside. Choose it in a smoked glass shade to avoid glare while adding a colorful touch to the overall look. You can create a pair or trio of pendant lights with this type of design by varying the colors! The adjacent pendant light could be made of white glass, for example. As you may have noticed, combinations of glass and wood are very popular.
- A bell-shaped pendant light: Scandinavian-style bell-shaped lights often feature a pastel-colored metal shade with a wooden connection on top. Light pink, ochre yellow, anthracite gray, and white are among the most popular colors.
- Linear pendant lights: Cylindrical in shape, these models are often made of natural wood and include a socket into which you can screw an E14 or E27 bulb. Some models instead feature spotlights built directly into the wooden structure, creating a modern and highly appreciated decorative style! If you opt for a screw-in bulb model, choose a smoked glass bulb to avoid glare.
- Openwork pendant lights: The openwork style is often made of rattan or aluminum. Light can be seen through a kind of round grille surrounding the LED bulb. This is a highly appreciated pendant light for hallways and living rooms!
As you can see, there are a huge number of models available on the market, particularly in our wide range of pendant lights. You will find a great selection of models on our website to enhance your interior!
Where to install a Scandinavian pendant light?
- In the kitchen: The kitchen pendant light will provide functional lighting, allowing you to prepare and cook food in great visual comfort. A clear glass lamp with a wooden base is suitable. This creates a good compromise between Nordic design and a diffused light source. Furthermore, a round model will be easier to clean than, for example, a gridded light fixture, as grease could get into the crevices.
- In the living room: A beautiful chandelier in the middle of your living room adds charm to your interior. Make the essence of the Scandinavian look shine by opting for a stunning openwork wooden model with a frosted glass shade! Or a metal structure to create a vintage-chic atmosphere, combined with solid wood, for example.
- In the bathroom: The Nordic style is perfect for a bathroom! Opt for minimalist models that diffuse white light. This could be a combination of wood and polycarbonate, which adds a modern touch in addition to a natural material.
