1) Glass lamps

Glass lamps are just eternal classics, whether they are smoky, milky, or transparent. They beautifully brighten the room, and the material itself, which is unassuming at first glance, draws attention due to reflections. They go well with both traditionally designed rooms and minimalist settings. Don't disregard the finer points. An intriguing component of the glass shade can be its composition and color.

3) Pendant lights in natural materials

Using lamps with shades made of wood or other natural materials helps the space feel airy and light. They surprise with their highly thought-out design and skillfully molded structure despite having a seemingly simple appearance. Moreover, materials like paper or fabric disperse light throughout the area uniformly. The warm, welcoming touch gives you the impression that a lantern is floating over the space.
