Touches of nature can bring a lot to a home. The colours, textures, and organic forms can offer a sense of calm, grace, and beauty. But while you’re reaching for your floral wallpaper and naturally toned throws, don’t forget the potential of floral lighting. Whether sculptural leaf-inspired chandeliers or flower print shades, floral lights can bring warm, inviting ambiance to any interior.
Finding the Perfect Floral Lighting for Your Home
What characterises floral lighting?
Floral lighting refers to light fixtures – lamps, chandeliers, sconces, or string lights – designed to resemble flowers or incorporate floral elements. These can range from subtle botanical accents to full-on blooms crafted in metal, glass, fabric, or LEDs. Some mimic real flowers, while others take a more artistic, abstract approach.
Why choose floral lighting?
Connect with nature
Floral lighting brings the outdoors in. Depending on the style of lights you choose, you can create a soothing and refreshing atmosphere, or a vibrant space seemingly buzzing with life. With a ceiling light, like the Endon Delphine, you gain a calming sense of sophistication. While a lampshade, like the Velvet Parrot, is brighter and more playful. They both connect you with nature, but in very different ways.
Versatility of style
Whether your decor is modern, vintage, bohemian, or romantic, there's a floral light fixture to match. If antique inspired is your thing, the Elstead Hinkley Plantation series with its bronzed pineapple design has you covered. If Tiffany is more to your taste, then check out the Interiors 1900 collection, with lamps like the Sullivan and ceiling lights like the Botanica.
Soft, ambient glow
Floral lighting varies, like any other lighting style. But if you choose well, you can find a design with diffused bulbs or shades that offer a warm, gentle glow. The Elstead Quoizel Rosecliffe ceiling light does this, if you want to continue the Tiffany theme. But it’s far from the only option, with lamps like the Romana with sage green fern shade, creating a warm, inviting aesthetic.
Instant statements
Floral lighting isn’t just functional. It’s also intended to be decorative. Designs like the Endon Layered Leaf Lamp or Elstead Flambeau Sweet Olive can’t help by draw the eye. Whether through size and colour or sheer tactility. And as such, they can become the focal point of any room.
Where to Use Floral Lighting
Entryways and hallways
Whether it’s quirky and cute, like the Elstead Flambeau Birdland, or more subtle, like the Elstead Designer's Lightbox Dian, a floral lamp can bring character to your hallway.
Living rooms
In living rooms, there are so many floral lights to choose from. It might be a flush ceiling like, like the Row Gold Leaf, with matching wall lights. Or a floor lamp, like the Elstead Flambeau Trellis. Either way, you’re bringing natural inspiration to your space.
Dining Rooms
A blooming chandelier, like the Quintiesse Vida, handing low over your table sets an elegant, nature-inspired tone.
Children’s rooms
If you’re shopping for your children’s rooms, an easy-fit light shade can be the perfect choice, allowing you to cost-effectively upgrade as their tastes inevitably change. The Safari easy-fit shade is full of imagination fodder for little minds.
Floral lighting is more than a design trend; it’s a lifestyle choice. Bringing beauty, warmth, and a hint of nature into your home, you can make the style your own. Whether you go bold with a statement piece or subtle with small floral accents, florals will always brighten your space and lift your spirit.
