When choosing lighting for your home, do not try to find something functionally unique, focus entirely on the external characteristics of the lamps. The fact is that their creators are actively experimenting with design, but outside it they prefer to remain traditionalists, because it is difficult to bring something new into the concept of the lamp. The only thing worth paying attention to is the independent light. It is best judged by one of the works of the Italian factory KARTELL: its engineers equipped a desk lamp with a battery, thanks to which it works both from the outlet and up to nine hours in standalone mode. Agree, a very convenient function, because this kind of illumination does not bind you with wires hand and foot, and if necessary, you can always take the light with you.

All other lamps are more or less static, and your task is to best fit them into the context. Everything is simple: you should go from the general to the particular, from the spreading chandeliers to small lamps, selecting objects according to style and correlating their design with the design of furniture. Those for whom it is important to achieve uniformity in the interior, should opt for brands that make and lamps, and other furnishings. RUGIANO can be a good example in this case: when she became interested in producing furniture with quilted leather, in addition to her, she also released a line of lamps decorated in the same way. If you are craving for something completely new, then turn your eyes to today's popular incandescent lamps, stylized as vintage Edison lamps. Their intricate spirals themselves represent a magnificent spectacle: only a wire and a socket are needed to illuminate the world around us with a fantastic light. They look great in a loft or in a minimalist interior. In retroslights too worth trying. No kidding, you'll wait for the moment when you can turn on the lights in the house!
