Ooooohhh the beauty of the raw hanging light bulbs usually seen in your favorite restaurant or that gorgeous wedding you went to this Summer. Scenes like the one above from Apartment Therapy are so dreamy and ethereal, they just put you in the perfect mood.
Below we will explore simple ways to hang raw bulbs in your home to accomplish the same look.
Bedroom Lighting
The high ceilings of this gorgeous, contemporary bedroom from Dream Book Design are every designer's dream. But with ceilings this high, a light fixture might not make a big enough impact.
These swag, hanging bulbs not only serve as a gorgeous centerpiece, but also give off the effect of a canopy over the four post bed. They are a fun alternative to always acceptable, traditional bedside lamps.

Kitchen Lighting
I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't swoon over this stunning Alvhem kitchen. Brass accents, polished marble and sparkling edison bulbs highlight the clean lines of the kitchen while being delicate and beautiful. Simplicity is key here, where less is clearly more.
Living Room Lighting
The living room above from Squidoo has fun with the concept of the hanging raw bulbs while still being chic and sharp. If you have exposed beams or ducts in your home, wrapping cables a few time around and dropping down edison bulbs will automatically give your space a cool vibe and add sparkle to the atmosphere at night.
If you want a more structured fixture with the same look, try this cluster chandelier below.

Children's Room Lighting
This adorable kids workspace is fun, cool and functional. Individual workspaces are color coated and well illuminated. Mixing cord colors is a fun way to bring this beautiful trend into a more approachable atmosphere.
