Minimalist lamps.
Less is more. Minimal design is about doing without unnecessary and distracting interiors. The few furnishings that finally make it into the rooms are carefully selected and have an impact through their colour and shape alone.
Minimalist Lamps
Short introduction - What is minimalism?
Less is more! That is the essence of minimalism. No patterns. No flashy ornaments. No ornamental accessories. No bulky shapes or colours. As few elements as possible. In short: We reduce ourselves to the most necessary and essential. Unnecessary ballast is dispensed with. In order to bring some peace to the hectic everyday life of today, minimalist lamps focus on the effect of colour and form.
Whether pendant, floor or table lamp. They are available for every home. For the sole reason that they fit everywhere, thanks to their mostly simple design. Nowadays, interior designers are more enthusiastic than ever about the trend towards a reduced style of living. Rooms should not appear empty but also not overcrowded. Things with important functions rather than distracting interiors. Some people have come to appreciate this, especially in times of lockdown and home office, when it became clear for the first time what you really need in hard times and what just gets in the way.
What makes the style?
That is not a simple question. For this reason, designers are very tempted to design luminaires of this kind. To create a statement with elegant simplicity from simple basic shapes such as circles, squares or triangles. Rearranging geometric shapes with sophistication. This with the right colour scheme and material choice.
Simple colours, preferably pastel, white, silver but also black or brown are made for the trend. It is important to choose only one and not to use several different ones on one luminaire. Flashy colours are a no-no.
The shape is also important. Simple straight shapes that every man and woman knows. Not too many edges. The item should blend unobtrusively into all the rooms of a house and not be a bulky eye-catcher.
In addition to the look, attention should also be paid to the choice of materials, which quickly transforms the lamp from a monochrome, boring hallway lamp into a luxurious lamp that towers over the dining table. Especially glass, metal or brass are popular materials. But even if the surface is matt, it suits the style. Well finished, they provide elegance and a pleasant atmosphere without imposing themselves.
It should not be forgotten that the chosen light source has no filters or colour. Unobtrusive simple light is what is needed here under the lampshade.
Luxurious and timeless
Never before have so many lighting designers been interested in this type of lighting. Giving designs something unique and desirable without much effort. Make them look luxurious and elegant. Even if minimalist luminaires correspond to the urban style of the present, it is not a new idea. Lamps in this style were already designed many decades ago. Now, this trend is really blossoming again. More and more often, lamps appear with a certificate of authenticity. This shows that it is a re-edition after an original design. Thanks to the small refinements, this type of luminaire fits into every room and not only today, but certainly also tomorrow.
Even if some assume glamour and minimalism are not mutually exclusive. On the contrary! If you combine the opposites, they become the "Purist-Luxury-Chic" trend, which is extremely popular. In addition to minimalist designs with precious materials, it is the mixture of unagitatedness and clear presence that is decisive. Likewise, the location of the lighting is half the battle. In a colourfully designed room, it blends in well but will never stand out and be a feature or the eye-catcher. However, in a more modern or simple room, the lamp can complete or create an image of elegance and luxury.
Boundless minimalism
Round, angular or unusually curved. Almost unlimited design freedom thanks to compact LED lighting technology. Thin luminaires can be fitted into narrow frames without protruding. This is how lamps with simple but convincing designs are created. In earlier times, this was not nearly as feasible as it is today.
But there are also lamps without fixed bulbs. In this case, you can find your personal favourite yourself in the "illuminants" section. Your Skapetze team recommends using a plain monochrome light source.
In which rooms do minimalist luminaires fit best?
No matter whether in living rooms, dining rooms or kitchens. Whether office, bathroom or hallway. Minimalist lamps fit always and everywhere. No matter which furnishing style you have chosen for your home. The reason is obvious: the simplicity of the lamps. Pure shapes with aesthetic colours rarely catch the eye at first glance. They fit in anywhere without any problems.
