Updated on: 40-0-0 0:0:0

Although the lamps and lanterns do not occupy a large volume in the family, they often become eye-catching because of their luminous characteristics, and have a role that cannot be ignored in the creation of the atmosphere of the home environment.

In the minimalist decoration in pursuit of minimalist style, due to its overall design emphasizing simplified elements, the choice of lamps and lanterns is particularly important, and its eye-catching effect is relatively more significant.

Next, we'll take a deep dive into the choice of lamps and lanterns in minimalist decoration and provide you with some practical advice to avoid common mistakes in the selection process.

1. The principle of minimalist lamps:

For a minimalist style of decoration, there are two basic principles to follow when choosing a lamp: simple shape and low-key color, which can greatly reduce the risk of making a mistake.

(1) Simple modeling:

In a minimalist space, all designs tend to be simple and clear, so when choosing lamps, you should also give preference to models with simple structures, such as avoiding complicated crystal chandeliers, magic bean lamps and feather lamps.

(2) Hypotony:

It is advisable to choose low-key and versatile colors such as white, black, gray or pure metallic, and try to avoid bright colors such as red, blue and green to maintain the harmony of the minimalist style.

All in all, in order to maintain the purity and consistency of the minimalist style, you should choose a luminaire with a simple shape and a low-key color. Fixtures that are too complex or too brightly colored can spoil the atmosphere of this style.

2. The fashion trend of no main lamp design:

In the minimalist style of decoration, the use of "see the light but not see the light" without the main lamp design can make the lighting effect appear more exquisite and comfortable.

(1) Ceiling without main lamp design:

Consider designing the ceiling in a simple style, with even downlights, spotlights and light strips, which not only achieve a uniform and comfortable lighting effect, but also strengthen the layering of the space by adjusting the position and direction of the lights, and enhance the overall warm atmosphere.

(2) Design of no main lamp on the wall:

Minimalist wall cladding can also incorporate the concept of no main light, such as installing a light strip under the cabinet or countertop to highlight the focus area and add a sense of design.

(3) No main lamp design on the ground:

The design of the floor cabinet or bed is cleverly hidden with light strips, which not only increases the function of lighting, but also enhances the visual effect and layering of the space.

3. Selection of conventional lamps and lanterns:

If the space is not suitable for the design without main lights, you can choose simple ceiling lights, surface-mounted downlights or surface-mounted rail lights.

(1) The design of the Founder ultra-thin ceiling lamp is simple and the cost is low, which is a cost-effective choice;

(2) Surface-mounted downlights are suitable for minimalist spaces with their concise appearance;

(3) Although the appearance of the surface-mounted rail lamp is simple, it can flexibly adjust the position and direction of the lighting, and combine with other design elements to achieve excellent lighting effect.

4. Simplification of auxiliary lighting:

In the minimalist style, in addition to the main lighting fixtures, you can also add some auxiliary lighting such as floor lamps, wall lamps and table lamps. When choosing these auxiliary fixtures, priority should be given to products with a clean design and sleek lines to avoid overly complex designs that affect the overall style consistency.

Minimalist style decoration follows the principle of "less is more", so when choosing lamps and lanterns, we should also pay attention to "simple shape and low-key color". I hope the above four tips will be helpful to friends who pursue a minimalist style, please remember to take good notes!
