Autumnal Interior Trends: There’s something quite magical about autumn, you wake up one morning and suddenly the leaves have painted everything in shades of copper, amber and gold. You walk along a footpath and all of the sudden you’re immersed in a sea of crunchy gold waves. Hats, scarves, jackets and coats come out of the pantry; more evenings snuggled up in front of a roaring fire and just generally spending more time indoors. We love this time of year at Litecraft HQ, the nights get darker sooner. Which means we’re busy making sure we get our lights out to all our customers to help you give your home that warm evening ambience. This sudden change in landscape has us thinking of beautiful autumnal ethereal feelings. Which brings us to this week’s interior trend. Ethereal is a popular trend that’s been forecast for autumn/winter 2016. But with the introduction of copper, can easily flow into spring and New Year. Ethereal is all about delicate and dainty details. Think glass and acrylic finishes together with whimsical earthy elements. Transparency is a key element for this look, an airy whimsical notion and the idea of seeing what lies beneath. For lighting, choose delicate and dainty glass fixtures and expose the bulb as much as possible, especially if it’s a vintage bulb fitting.Ethereal Style Lighting Ideas
Here's a few ethereal style lighting ideas: Bell jar designs conjure up these notions of enchantment, what lies beneath as well as the element of transparency. Cluster a bell jar lamp together with a mixture of glass vases and candles in hurricane lamps on a side table for an eye catching lighting display. For an autumnal interior addition pop twigs, fallen leaves and pine cones into a vase. Bird feathers are also a cute addition for a whimsical touch. Choose from our 4 Bell Jar lamp designs to get this look.Glass pendants and shades with an opaque finish will complete this trend. When lit, the exposed bulb will create an enchanting ambience, a soft glow perfect for a November evening. We have a stunning selection of glass pendants, from smoke crackled effect shades to droplet style with an effervescent finish.
Alternatively, if you’re after a fitting on a larger scale such as a chandelier choose our new Vintage Style Ceiling Pendant. This fitting features 9 bulbous glass shades perched on a woven cable and copper metal structure. When lit the glass bulb cases accentuate the bulbs warm illumination.
