There’s a clear trend in the residential construction industry. More and more houses are built as narrow, two-story appartments or even double floor single houses. Quite often an opening above the living room or dining area can be found, in which the effective ceiling height reaches up to 5,5m! Lighting such areas can be quite the daunting task, so we’re bringing you some professional advice to get you started!



This area of your home can actually be an opportunity to create some totally unique shading and lighting designs, that can look amazing. There are so many solutions: minimal lighting fixtures and chandeliers which will definitely make an impression, or unique and elegant designer pieces that will become the center of your space and decoration.

Smoky glass often goes well with chrome accents and best complements spaces with otherwise muted colors, like grey and concrete, or even black and white detailing.


 
Amber-colored glass give off a warmer lighting experience and goes perfectly with natural tones like wood, ecru, various off-whites, kourasanit and even linen fabrics.

4. Threaded Globes 

Spheres made out of polyester thread, in pastel colors of various sizes, that can create an impressive look. Such a solution is quite versatile, and can produce amazing results, even with just two large spheres above a dining table or living room. Odd-numbered compositions with three, five or seven globes demand a selection of different globe sizes. The largest diameter sphere is to be used as a base, and hanged high up. Then add more as you see fit in various sizes and heights, to create something truly unique and stylish.
