If you’re a lover of Scandinavian lighting design, chances are you’ve seen the trend for bare bulb lighting. These beautifully simple pendant sets work perfectly with oversized vintage bulbs. As an added bonus, the generous 3 metre twisted fabric cable allows you to get as creative as you dare with the placement. These pendants look great when they are installed alongside each other hanging at different heights

2. Express your individuality

Don’t confuse simple design with boring design. Just because it has a reputation for being practical and functional, doesn’t mean that Scandinavian lighting design has to be dull – far from it. This silver-grey bamboo lightshade is a wonderful alternative to the naked bamboo shade and will catch the light beautifully when lighting your home.

In Scandinavian design, you’ll often find that the colour palette is very simple and light. Light blues, greys, yellows and pastel shades are popular, and tend to work well when incorporated with bold flashes of colour. The classic simplicity of this pendant light and its light blue finish make it a perfect choice for anyone hoping to channel some Scandi-inspired design into their home.

4. Incorporate glass
