A modernist and simple bulb pendant.
Embracing black lighting seems so perfect for the weeks leading Halloween. While black lighting can be interpreted as moody, and sometimes sinister, they are also timeless and add that punch of color which can ground a room.
Escapadeblog has some cool images that includes some with hanging pendant lights that put me in that ghoulish mood!
Contemporary lights for traditional rooms.
From contemporary black kitchen lighting to designer table lamps, black hued lights take on a sculptural quality that begs a closer look. I love a neutral wall color or window treatment as a backdrop for black.
Whether you choose stark white walls or a creamy curtain, the lighter and more monochromatic the space the more your lighting will pop. Keep in mind that black lamp shades are beautiful, but should only be used if maximum illumination is not the goal.
Sculptural style lighting for monochromatic spaces.
Large, black swing arm lamps are truly on point these days and have the decided look of a contemporary mobile. While they might be a cheaper option than a Calder sculpture, make sure you have plenty of other task lighting especially if it’s in the kitchen, office or bedside. They may not be the most practical but they certainly are the most chic!
The many design styles of black lights.
1. The Jonathan Adler Black and Brass Antwerp Floor Lamp is great besides or near an arm chair.
2. Try the Sonneman Orb Satin Black Chandelier for mid-century style in the dining room.
3. The Piquito Black Mini Pendant Light would be stylish above a kitchen island or for a moody look in a powder room.
4. Nothing defines “of the moment” like the Robert Abbey Albert Patina Bronze Wall Mounted Boom Lamp.
5. The Currey and Company Whitton Black Wall Sconce is ideal in a hallway or flanking a fireplace.
