Even in summertime, when the day hours are long, and for sunny countries, lighting is still an imperative feature of interior design. Naturally, different types of lighting in the Philippines create different types of atmospheres. The key to decorating with lighting is that your fixture doesn’t have to be on to shine, so remember this when you’re next shopping for a lighting fixture.
So, we took the liberty of collecting at least three points of lighting in any room that are needed to create a summer ambiance:
For A Cool Touch
Glass pendant lamps play with the light and give the room an open, airy feel, much like Scandinavian lighting. Particularly when the glass has a blue, green, or pink tinge, glass emits a slight coolness – and is thus perfect for naturally light-flooded rooms and warm months. A hint of metallic gives the lighting a designer edge and works perfectly to create a statement. See Coastal Collection
For Warm Highlights
Delicate, more intricate lighting fixtures create a different kind of statement. Lamps made from natural materials like wood are light yet warm, ideal for summer months, and perfect for the bedroom and dining areas. The charming look of wood lamps helps to ground interiors, while the cage design of the Huck by Home Cartel breaks the light and casts interesting forms around the room.
For Creating A Summer Atmosphere
Floor lamps and table lamps are also effective in creating your desired atmosphere. A focused spotlight can be both practical and decorative, providing optimal reading conditions as well as emphasizing different corners of the room for a positive effect and sense of space. If it doubles as a stylish decorative feature in your home, too. (Check out these table and floor lamps)
