A glimpse into the hidden beauty of lighting between the lines…
If you’re reading this article, you obviously have a keen interest in interior design, as do we. You’ll therefore know that coming up with a concept or interpretation of a design that’s worthy of your home can come down to the wire.
Whilst we interpret the ever changing trends and fashions, our interest is to help you to make an investment in your lighting that stands the test of time and works with a variety of styles so you can make little, light touches to your home without the need to change your carefully chosen lights.
One such style of light is caged style lights, open sided wireframes and slatted glimpses to the hidden beauty of the light.
So why are open sided lights perfect to work with any look?
When you have taken the time to lovingly create your interior design, you naturally see each and every centimetre. From the areas that went well, to the bits that required a few more attempts and every section in between, you will appreciate it as it’s your vision. So why cover it all up? It’s true that lighting is the jewel in the crown in most designs, but you can also let the illumination itself be the shining light that completes the look in your room.
Having slatted lights allows an unobstructed view to the setting behind, whilst providing a playful juxtaposition which acts to add intrigue to the overall look.
They also play a huge part in open plan spaces, creating a zoning effect that still allows a glimpse through to the windows and light as well as other functional spaces.
If you start your own line up, you will really invigorate your space. These lights invite an openness, a friendliness which naturally sees them looking spectacular in pairs, groups or clusters.
We love this style of lights when teamed with a decorative filament LED bulb. The tantalising effect of the warm embers filtering through the open sides is truly a wonder to behold, like a flickering cosy fire on a cold winters’ day.
They also compliment many settings, from the vintage, retro and industrial, to the more modern and contemporary settings. So, draw a line in the sand and opt for a linear motif light in your home!
