Chic Lighting

A chic light fixture is the visual signature that distinguishes a refined interior from an ordinary decor.

The chic light fixture imposes itself as the central element of the decoration, combining aesthetics and luminous performance. It is available in ceiling, pendant light, wall sconces or floor lamps, each playing a precise role according to the room and atmosphere desired. The sizes vary from the majestic chandelier of 80 cm in diameter for a dining room, to the ideal minimalist pendant light of 25 cm above a kitchen island. The chic light fixture is recognized for its impeccable finishes: brushed brass, blown glass, cut crystal, gold or matte black metal, sometimes associated with noble materials such as marble or solid wood. It does not just light up: it structures space, highlights volumes and values every detail of furniture.

What materials and finishes for a chic light fixture?

Blowed glass : PRESENTED for its transparency and its ability to diffuse light without dazzling, the blown glass adapts to both pendant lights and ceiling lights. A 30 cm glass globe diffuses 800 to 1200 lumens, perfect for a dining table or a living room. Glass ceiling lamps offer a soft and homogeneous light, ideal for reception spaces.

Crystal : Cut crystal multiplies reflections and sublimates light. A chic crystal chandelier, equipped with LEDs from 8 to 12 W per arm, brings a spectacular touch to an entrance or dining room. Crystal models require regular dust removal with a microfibre cloth to preserve their shine. Crystal chandeliers are recommended for parts over 15 m2 in order to avoid any visual overload.

Gold or matte black metal : Metallic finishes, gold or black, structure space and match contemporary or classic interiors. A chic brushed brass ceiling lamp with a diameter of 40 cm, equipped with an 18 W (1800 lumens) LED source, is perfectly suited to a living room of 20 to 25 m2. The metal is cleaned with a soft cloth slightly damp, without abrasive product.

What power and height for a chic light fixture depending on the room?

Fair : For a living room of 25 m2, prefer a chic light fixture with between 2500 and 3500 lumens, with a color temperature of 2700 to 3000 K for a warm light. The ideal mounting height of a chic pendant light is between 210 and 230 cm from the ground, so as not to hinder traffic while creating a focal point.

Dining room : Above a table, the chic pendant light must be installed 75-80 cm from the top. A 90 cm long model effectively illuminates a 180 cm table. For a sophisticated atmosphere, choose a source from 2000 to 2500 lumens, in warm light (2700 K). Design pendant lights allow to play on shapes and volumes to accentuate the style of the piece.

Chamber : A chic light fixture in the room favors softness: ceiling or pendant light from 30 to 40 cm, 1200 to 1800 lumens, color temperature of 2700 K. For a headboard, a chic brass or glass wall sconce, spreading 400 to 600 lumens, creates an elegant extra light.

How to give a chic light fixture with the rest of the decoration?

The choice of chic light fixture must take into account the materials already present in the room. An interior with contemporary lines accords with pendant lights in gold or black metal, while a classic decor enhances crystal or glass. For perfect harmony, combine your chic light fixture with a mirror design or a carpet with sober patterns. In a dining room, a chic crystal chandelier finds its place above a solid wood table, while a minimalist pendant light sublimates a clean space. Think about coordinating the finish of the light fixture with door handles, frames or metal accessories for visual consistency without false note.
