Italian Lighting

Written by Karen Bates (last updated September 6, 2019)

The way you furnish a room has a huge impact on the mood and feel of the area. Each room should be decorated and furnished according to how the room is meant to be used. You can do different things to create a peaceful and tranquil area or a fun and exciting space. It all depends on colors, theme, and other decor that you choose for a room.

Like other aspects of setting up a room, the lighting is an important consideration. Of course, the lighting in a room can help you to control the amount of light, but more than that it can help you achieve the look you are going for in a room. Lighting is more than just a light bulb—some light fixtures are quite stylish and intricate, and could even be interpreted as a kind of art.

With this in mind, you should be careful of the lighting you choose for an area. Before deciding, consider if the fixture will be in harmony with the room's overall theme, and if it will provide the kind of light the area needs. Will you need a small lamp or a larger hanging fixture?

This won't be a simple decision, however. There are many styles of lighting out there, and you will have to decide which is the right one for your situation. The various lamp styles will either blend with your room's furnishings or distract from them, so pay attention to whether or not the lights you are considering will work.

Of the many lamp styles out there, Italian lighting is one of the most elegant yet simple kinds. These lights offer a beautiful addition to your room, and are likely to go with just about any theme or setup:

  • Pendant lights are a popular kind of Italian lighting. These fixtures hang from the ceiling on a long chain, usually with a single lamp at the end. Lamps can range from a simple look to a more intricate design, and they work very well in kitchens. They can be made of glass, bronze, iron, or other materials.
  • Italian lighting is also offered in the form of wall lamps and often provides local lighting for a smaller area. These are attached to the wall of a room and might have one lamp or consist of several that extend out from the surface.
  • Floor and table lamps can also be found in this Italian style. These often have a sleek fabric shade or a more elegant glass shade, but they are also available in other materials. This is a great way to get Italian lighting in your home without needing to install anything on your walls or ceiling.

Italian lighting offers many options from classic to modern, and you are likely to find just the right lamp for any area of your house.
