Why we love organic modern lighting!

We love organic modern lighting because it blends contemporary design styles with natural inspiration and materials. Gone are the days of creating the “perfect” space, now it’s about embracing the slower and more relaxed every day, with more realistic styles. The laidback and liveable interior is more relatable, and organic modern lighting is perfect for using to complement a space.

Scandinavian interior design has become increasingly popular over the years with many homeowners relating to the more organic look. Certainly for furniture design and home accessories, however, we’re now seeing this shift with the lighting too!

What to watch out for with organic modern lighting

As with any interior trend, there are some considerations to take into account when thinking of using organic modern lighting in your home…

Due to the nature of these light fixtures, you may encounter some unwanted shadows cast from them onto the ceilings above. This is because of the shape and design having gaps between rattan for example. If these shadows are unwanted you may prefer to stick with a solid fixture.

Don’t let this put you off though! Organic modern pendant lights work fantastically over a kitchen island or within a space where there are supplementary recessed ceiling lights to counteract any shadows created.

There are organic modern lighting that come without the gaps between materials that prevent any unwanted shadows, and these may be better suited for those that prefer a more sleeker and clean look.

Ways to make organic modern lighting last in your home

Organic modern lighting can last for many years in your home!

The most important thing is to choose light fixtures that you absolutely love and bring an element of timelessness into your home. This way, you won’t be tempted to swap and change lighting regularly.
