Interiors: Unusual Lighting Options

Imagine a world pre electricity. Imagine not being able to flick on the lights as you enter the room, but having to navigate by oil lamp, or even more annoyingly, a flickering candle. I mean donโ€™t get me wrong, I love candles, but as an atmospheric addition to the room rather than the only source of light! Iโ€™m grateful for the fact we have lights at the flick of the switch but considering theyโ€™re on a lot at this time I really want to find some new lightshades. The living room has a deep purple plain shade,ย  because I just canโ€™t decide on what I want. Iโ€™ve been browsing through the range of lighting at Lights.co.ukย for some inspiration.
I want something that is a bit different but as the room isn’t massive it canโ€™t be anything too extreme, as I think it would look a bit out of place. The other thing I have to consider is my husband; not what he wants as I have free reign over the decor, but the fact at 6โ€™5โ€ he frequently clonks his head on hanging things. Iโ€™ve chosen a few of my favourites from the pendant lighting range, and am finding myself really drawn to the more abstract and unusual styles.
Copper is a really popular option, and we have rose gold photo frames on the wall which I think would be complemented by something like the image above, but then I spotted this amazing wooden design, I love the shape and the material, definitely a talking point!
Another style of light that I really like is the multi-shade look, I’ve seen some where three or four smaller shades hang from one light fitting, but one that I spotted and really love has different colours, shapes and sized shades attached to a longer fitting, and it’s something that I think would really work well in our living room to add a bit of depth. It would also work really well above a dining table or central kitchen breakfast bar.
What style lighting do you prefer?
