    Interior lighting design: our suggestions

    Lighting design is one of the most important elements in the decoration of a living space.

    Choosing the right lighting strikes a balance between style, functionality and personal taste.

    The Covid involved a radical change in the life habits of each of us and the priorities in our lives.

    Reclaiming the spaces, making your home cozy and functional, reflecting the personality of those who live it has become a widespread priority.

    Less is more has become a statement useful to interior decor and also to the choice of lamps.

    Horo, designed by Pierre Gonalons, with its simple and essential lines, certainly goes in this direction. The simplicity and the ability to decorate with taste and various spaces make Horo a winning choice!

    Another focus of the season is the passion for retro atmospheres. The time of solitary confinement that we spent has made us nostalgic, eager to recreate the world of our childhood, or that golden age that we dream of being able to live again. So also in the interior lighting we see the return to the 60’s and 70’s, to the economic and creative boom that has involved the whole world.

    Vegas designed by Marc Sadler is a collection of sculptural volumes, precious and impactful, that illuminates the house with a sign of style very marked.

    The passion for retro and vintage taste will certainly make you appreciate Olympya design by Masiero Lab, which with its classic shapes and reassuring colors is a choice of lighting design that will accompany you over time.

    Sustainability and attention to the environment are values that are back in vogue. So natural materials enjoy a renewed interest.

    Flashwood design by Giovanni Battista Gianola is the Masiero’s suggestion made of wood with integrated LED lighting, in full respect of the environment.

    We talked about current trends in interior lighting design, but what really matters when choosing the lighting of your home is harmony. The house is the place where you share family experiences or take refuge in the intimacy of a time for yourself. All this requires harmony in the colors, in the shapes, in the space that you live.

    The creation of a warm and welcoming space goes through the choice of interior lighting, which contributes to create the right atmosphere for each of these moments. The balance between aesthetics and functionality, design and practicality is the focus of Masiero’s lighting proposals.

    Choosing designer lamps for your spaces means leaving an imprint of your personality, making the space unique, modeling the light and shadows, shapes and lines, colors and volumes. I mean, make it real.

    Lighting ideas for open-space kitchen and living room

    The open space kitchen and living room was born in American architecture and is increasingly popular in Italians homes. It is a focal space of the house, the one where the family comes together to spend time together and share conviviality thanks to the large spaces reformulated on a human scale.

    Within the space it is appropriate to delimit the areas, distinguishing the kitchen from the dining room and the living area. To do this in addition to the furniture you can use the lighting design to emphasize this distinction.

    The search for lighting solutions of an open space should start from the study of space. The most important lighting points should also be chosen according to the type of lighting you want, recessed spotlights, LED spotlights or chandeliers.

    The furniture plays a primary role in the choice: a suspension in the middle of the room integrates perfectly with an elegant and classic space, while minimal solutions such as spotlights or design suspensions illuminate better a minimal space. In the choice it is to consider that straight and geometric lines follow the verticality of modern furniture, while the rounder shapes can soften the whole.

    Thanks to the creation of separate areas within a single space the family will have the areas suitable for every moment. A very important light point is the one that will light up the dining table, where the moments of conviviality are spent.

    The relax area, with its sofas and armchairs, is the most relaxing heart of the house where you can spend your free time having long evenings chatting, reading books and watching movies with friends and it needs a dedicated lighting.

    The ideal is to establish more points of light in this area, perhaps using floor lamps next to the armchair, rather than a chandelier that lightly illuminates the room or spotlights that are the ideal solution in the darkest corners. To light up a dining table or the island in the kitchen, it is ideal to choose a suspension with a straight and clean line.

    You can range from the Olà collection, choosing the oval suspension, perfect to illuminate the kitchen island giving a touch of preciousness

    to the billiards of the Sound, which is characterized by the characteristic shape and minimal at the same time.

    The living area needs a more intimate atmosphere, to be illuminated with the elegant crystal pearls of Cristalis

    or with the captivating design of Blink


    or with Crek and its precious handmade glass plates.

    You can add a touch of color with soft light by choosing Cupole.

    If there are areas of particular interest for architecture or furniture elements to enhance, you can use wall lamps that allow you to light up even the most narrow areas as corners and niches. Among Masiero’s various proposals in terms of wall lamps, Palm stands out for its originality and flexibility, being a modular wall decoration system.

    If you need to renew the lighting of the open space kitchen-living room, but you do not want to undertake a whole path of lighting design, you will simply replace the suspension of the room with something special.

    You can choose Olympya: changing even a single detail so important will give new life to the entire room.

    Ancient Greece as a source of inspiration for Olympya

    Good taste and balance are the hallmark of the new Olympya chandelier, inspired from ancient Greece – the cradle of beauty and cultur. Its simplicity of form is counterbalanced by the excellence of the materials and by its craftmanship.

    The central structure of Olympya resonates of a Greek temple; the metal frame is tinted in a refined galvanic finish and covered in transparent glass. Metal and glass are the hallmarks of the arms, which branch out from the central structure and punctuate the space around them with geometric patterns.

    Each arm is rendered unique by very special oval pendants in “Crek” style glass, a typical hand-made process which allows the incorporation of small air bubbles, making each drop a unique piece.
