Choosing the right lamp: advice and inspiration

Choosing a lamp means thinking about lighting , ambiance and harmony with your interior . Whether it's to create a warm atmosphere, highlight a piece of furniture or light up a functional space, here are some tips to guide you.

1. Define the use of your lamp

Before choosing a model, think about its role in your interior:

  • Mood lighting : A lamp with a golden interior shade diffuses a soft and warm light, ideal for a cozy atmosphere in a living room or bedroom.
  • Functional lighting : For a reading corner or a work space, choose an opal or transparent interior lampshade , which lets the light through better.
  • Decorative lighting : A sculptural lamp base combined with a lampshade in refined fabric (silk, linen) becomes a real decorative element .

2. Adjust the size of the lamp according to the space to be decorated

The balance between the lamp and its environment is essential for a harmonious result.

👉 Please note: For an optimal result, we advise you to choose a lampshade adapted to the size of the lamp base .

👉 To help you , our models are classified by size S, M, or L. You will find the lampshades and lamp bases classified by size in the drop-down menu at the top of the page .

What size to choose depending on the space?

Size L : Ideal for a buffet, a large console or a large space such as a living room or a dining room. It catches the eye and brings a real decorative presence.

Size M : A versatile format , perfect for a side table, desk or console, offering a good balance between discretion and aesthetics.

Size S : Designed for a bedside table, a shelf or a small piece of furniture , it diffuses a soft light and creates an intimate atmosphere.

3. The choice of bulbs: an essential element

The bulb plays a key role in the ambiance of your home. Always choose warm white bulbs (2,700 K to 3,000 K) to avoid a light that is too cold and impersonal, reminiscent of hospital lighting.

💡 Our tips for warm lighting:

  • Multiply the sources of light : Opt for several small, low-intensity lamps rather than a single, too-strong light source. This creates a soft and enveloping atmosphere.
  • Use LED bulbs which do not heat up and have better durability.
  • Adjust the power : For ambient lighting, a 4W to 6W LED bulb (about 40W incandescent) is ideal. For a reading lamp, a slightly higher power may be necessary.

4. Play with materials and colors

For a harmonious interior, think about coordinating your lamp with your decoration:

  • The 3D ceramic lamp base brings a handcrafted touch and an elegant design, which adapts to modern, bohemian or classic styles.
  • The lampshade plays a key role: a natural fabric like linen brings authenticity, while a silk Ikat adds refinement and contrast.
  • The finishes : A twisted fabric cable and brass parts provide a high-end touch and a beautiful consistency with the entire luminaire.
  • Dare to use color and mix styles : Above all, avoid “matching” everything for fear of bad taste! Avoid the catalog effect.

5. Think about maintenance and durability

Our lamps are designed to last and require little maintenance:

  • Ceramic lamp bases do not retain dust and should only be dusted occasionally.
  • Fabric lampshades can be maintained with a soft cloth to remove dust.
  • The electrical assembly is carried out in compliance with European standards and with quality components, guaranteeing safety and reliability.

6. Avoid overloading

In interior design, harmony often lies in balance and control of volumes.

Avoiding overload allows you to highlight each object accurately , without creating visual confusion. It is better to favor carefully selected pieces, of good quality, in accordance with the desired atmosphere, rather than accumulating too many elements.

The space breathes better when each object has its place and its aesthetic utility.

Relying on noble materials , refined textures and a few strong pieces is enough to breathe character into an interior , while maintaining an elegant and soothing atmosphere.
