Scandinavian light is clarity without ostentation, the purity that structures the space.
The Scandinavian light fixture imposes itself as the centrepiece of an interior where every detail counts. Inspired by northern landscapes, it favours sober lines, natural materials and uncompromising functionality. This collection includes air pendant lights, compact ceiling lamps, graphic wall sconces and slender floor lamps, all designed to diffuse a smooth and homogeneous light. The Scandinavian light fixture adapts to all rooms, from living room to bedroom, through the kitchen, thanks to various formats: diameter from 20 to 60 cm for pendant lights, height from 140 to 180 cm for floor lamps, power from 6 to 24 W depending on the surface to be illuminated. The emphasis is on simple installation and light efficiency, with compatible LED models (ideal colour temperature: 2700 to 3000 K for a warm atmosphere).
What materials for a Scandinavian light fixture?
Light wood : Birch or oak wood, often left raw or slightly bleached, is ubiquitous in the Scandinavian light fixture. It brings an organic touch and fits perfectly with minimalist or natural interiors. For a wooden pendant light of 40 cm in diameter, count an average weight of 1.2 to 2 kg, easy to attach to a standard ceiling.
Matt metal : White, black or grey pearl finishes dominate, sometimes associated with brushed brass details. The metal allows clear geometric shapes and optimal light diffusion. A Scandinavian metal ceiling lamp of 30 cm offers a luminous flux of 800 to 1200 lumens, ideal for an entrance or corridor.
Opaline fabric and glass : Cotton or linen shades filter the light for a felted look, while the frosted glass guarantees a glareless diffusion. Prefer an IP20 protection factor for dry rooms, IP44 for the bathroom.
To explore wooden models with Nordic design, the collection Scandinavian floor lamps offers iconic rooms, perfect for a reading corner or a clean living room.
How to choose the power and size of its Scandinavian light fixture?
The choice of a Scandinavian light fixture depends primarily on the surface to be illuminated and the function sought. For a living room of 20 m2, a central pendant light of 50 cm in diameter equipped with an LED bulb of 18 to 24 W (i.e. 1600 to 2200 lumens) ensures comfortable general lighting. In one room, a ceiling lamp of 30 to 40 cm and 10 to 15 W is enough to create a soft atmosphere. Scandinavian wall-mounted wall sconces, often orientable, are ideal for adding to or highlighting a painting; prefer a power of 5 to 8 W per wall sconce.
The installation height is crucial: for a Scandinavian pendant light above a table, count 70 to 90 cm between the top and bottom of the light fixture. In a corridor, a compact ceiling lamp (height less than 20 cm) avoids any inconvenience to the passage. The floor lamps, on the other hand, install next to a sofa or armchair, with a lighting height between 140 and 160 cm for optimal visual comfort.
For discreet and efficient general lighting, the range Scandinavian ceilinglers offers solutions suitable for living rooms and passage spaces.
What agreements and interviews for a harmonious Scandinavian interior?
The Scandinavian light fixture is naturally combined with light textiles, geometric carpets and natural materials accessories. To strengthen the Nordic spirit, associate it with a Scandinavian carpet neutral or pastel tones. Round or oval mirrors, with fine wooden or metal frames, complete the whole by reflecting the light and visually expanding the space.
The maintenance of a Scandinavian light fixture is simple: regular dust removal with a soft cloth for wood and metal, dry cleaning for fabric lampshades, and use of a specific product for opalin glass. Avoid abrasive products that may alter matt or natural finishes.
For perfect consistency throughout the house, the selection Scandinavian lights allows to harmonize each room, from stay to room, in accordance with the Nordic style.
Finally, for an additional graphic key, consider incorporating a Scandinavian clock the wall, the clean design of which fits perfectly with the light sobriety of the Nordic light fixtures.
