Natural/ Organic Style Lighting 101
A major emerging trend in lighting design is natural/ organic style lighting: that is, lighting that is light and earthy in feel, and/ or crafted of organic materials. With today's heavy focus on "green" living and the prominence of more casual, contemporary design, it's easy to see why natural style lighting is gaining popularity.
While natural/ organic lighting is somewhat loosely defined, it usually contains one or more of the following characteristics:
- Use of earth tones/ neutral colors
- Art Nouveau influence (that is, floral/natural designs)
- Use of fabric (e.g. rattan)
- A rugged, "unfinished" look
- Use of recycled/reclaimed/sustainable materials
Natural and organic style lighting is so up-and-coming, that some companies (like Varaluz) use only recycled/reclaimed materials in their designs. Today, a plethora of natural style lighting designs are available to add a breezy, cheerful style to your home!
Some tips on using natural/ organic lighting:
- Make the most of the sunlight in your home, and use natural style lighting as a supplement.
- Use a fabric drum pendant over your breakfast area for a modern and casual look.
- Complement your natural style lighting with flowing curtains – linen works particularly well.
