Retro Lighting

2017 is set to be a huge year for a revival in RETRO LIGHTING that creates a striking focal point in your chosen interior. Combining unique shapes and designs with bold colours and vintage materials, retro light fittings will provide a stylish and functional finish in any room of the home. From single pendulum and grouped ceiling lights to statement floor lamps and table lamps these designs are perfect for creating a vintage charm whilst retains a fresh and stylish feel.

Enamel pendulum lights are a great choice for creating a retro style in your chosen space. These simple and sleek lights come in a wide variety of colours from simple black and white to bold primary and neon shades that can be co-ordinated or clashed with your interior decor. Orb shaped shades can be hung as a single light in the centre of the room for a simple central focal point or can be positioned in a group formation above a dining table, seating area or bed, creating a striking and artistic statement. For a more striking look then select uniquely shaped shades such as abstract umbrella styles or starburst designs that create a sculptural finish within the room.

For a more industrial vintage style then select metal and exposed bulb lights that give a more rustic look to your chosen room. For a stripped back look that gives a retro warehouse style finish select a mix and match of small pendulum lights with black wiring and black or brushed chrome metal caging that clearly displays the inner light bulbs contained inside. These look great hung directly above a retro wood and metal dining table or a retro style sofa or bed frame for a central focal point within the room. If you prefer a more modern retro look then select some large brushed metal or copper lightshades that give a sophisticated vintage finish that works particularly well in neutral and monochrome interior spaces.

If you love the sophisticated elegance or retro Hollywood movies then why not recreate the look in your home interior with some vintage film set inspired lighting designs. For a hint of opulence and glamour then select a large chrome floor lamp styled in the shape of a stage spotlight that can be positioned and shone on a zoned area of your room to create an illuminating ambiance within your home. This spotlight style design can also be displayed as a table lamp on a bedside, dressing table or office desk for a sophisticated look that works well with both classic and modern decor.

For a more kitsch retro look that invokes all the colour and style of your 1950s front room then find lamp shades and ceiling lights that features colourful floral fabric shades, buttons and tassel detailing that will create texture and tone against a neutral backdrop. Select a single pendulum ceiling shade with gorgeous pastel toned tassels that hang in a ring formation around the shade. Alternatively choose a barrel, drum or pagoda shaped shade in classic rose and garden print fabrics for a pop of pattern and colour. These styles of shades also look great on a retro brass or ceramic lamp base, positioned on a side table or bedside for a shabby chic style interior finish.
