How to Choose Your Moroccan Inspired Light Fixture

Having fallen for the charm of the Orient, you now need to ensure you make the right technical and aesthetic choice for your home.

Assessing Materials and Finish

First, examine the metal base of the light fixture. A good alloy guarantees lasting durability over time. Avoid metals that are too thin, which bend easily. The structure should look robust from the first handling.

Next, look at the weld points between the different parts. Discreet joints are a sign of careful workmanship. A careful finish avoids unpleasant sharp edges.

Touch the surface to feel the grain of the treated metal. A uniform patina is often a sign of superior quality. This reflects the care taken during the final polishing.

Choosing the Perforation Pattern

The holes in the metal dictate the ambience of your room. Dense patterns create a very precise play of shadows. This is ideal for an intimate and cosy atmosphere in the evening.

Conversely, wider perforations allow more light flow. They cast imposing geometric shapes onto your white walls. Choose this style to energise a large living room. The visual effect then becomes the central element of your décor.

Think about the daily use of the space before deciding. A hallway often requires clearer light than a bedroom. Adapt the density of the design to your real needs.

Checking LED Compatibility

Ensure the light fixture uses standard E27 type sockets. This greatly simplifies replacing bulbs in the future. It’s a practical detail often overlooked during inspection.

Prefer installing LED bulbs to limit your energy consumption. These models heat much less than older halogen versions. This is crucial for preserving the metal structure in the long run. You’ll also be making a concrete difference to your bill.

Check the available space inside the lantern carefully. Some bulky bulbs might not fit correctly. Measure the internal diameter before proceeding to checkout.

2 Criteria: Dimensions and Luminosity for Your Space

Once the style is validated, you need to look at the exact measurements to ensure the object integrates perfectly.

Calculating the Necessary Diameter

Take the measurements of the total area of your room. A chandelier that is too small will seem lost in a large empty volume. Conversely, a giant model will visually overwhelm a small office. Find the right balance to maintain harmony.

Also observe the height under your ceiling before purchasing. Leave at least two metres of free space under the lamp. This avoids hindering people’s movement.

For a dining table, centre the pendant light well. The bottom of the light fixture should be about 80 centimetres from the tabletop. It’s the decorator’s golden rule.

Selecting the Colour Temperature

The colour of the light completely changes the look of the metal. Express your preferences by choosing the right degrees Kelvin. Light that is too white can appear cold.

We recommend a warm light to enhance the reflections of the metal. These amber tones accentuate the welcoming feel of your interior. They recall soft evenings under Berber tents. Visual comfort is immediate.

Test different settings if you have a dimmer. This allows you to adjust the atmosphere according to the time of day. Modularity remains a major asset in your home.

Differences Between Pendant Lights and Wall Lights

The choice of format will mainly depend on the configuration of your walls and your needs for direct lighting.

Installing a Central Pendant Light

The central pendant light often becomes the heart of the room. It diffuses zenithal light covering a wide area. It’s the perfect choice for lighting a meal.

An imposing chandelier immediately catches the eye of your guests. It structures the space and adds height to your interior décor. It’s a strong piece that affirms your taste for artisan style. Do not neglect its overall visual impact.

Think about checking the strength of your fixing hook. Some solid metal models weigh a considerable amount. Safety comes before everything else here.

Choosing Wall Lights

Wall lights offer very soft, indirect light. They are ideal for marking a dark hallway without glare. The ambience instantly becomes more relaxing.

These light fixtures create magnificent projections on vertical surfaces. Shadows dance on the walls depending on the chosen diffusion angle. It’s a decorative as well as practical solution for your passage spaces. The result is often very poetic.

You can install them in pairs to frame a mirror. This brings elegant symmetry to your bedroom or entrance. The effect is guaranteed every time you pass by.

Finally, let’s discover the gems of our shop that will radically transform your vision of décor.

The Iron Models

Our iron models focus on raw authenticity. Each piece has a hand-hammered look. You can feel the work of the material in every small relief. It’s a vibrant tribute to ancestral traditions.

This material ensures unshakeable robustness for your home. The traditional style suits both rustic and industrial interiors. It’s an investment that lasts for years.

The matt black finish of some models adds an immediate touch of character. It highlights the geometric shapes with great precision. In short, it’s a timeless classic with us.

The Gold-Finish Models

A gold finish shines with its natural and chic elegance. It reflects light even when turned off during the day. It’s the choice of discreet, modern luxury.

This finish integrates perfectly into a contemporary or minimalist living room. Its golden glow brings instant warmth to your white walls. You’ll have no trouble pairing it with other metal accessories. Visual harmony is thus preserved.

Maintenance of these models is very simple on a daily basis. A soft cloth is enough to restore their original shine. It’s practical for busy customers.

The Coloured Glass Models

Coloured glass is distinguished by its warm red or multicoloured hues. It’s a noble material that exudes a very special aura. It changes appearance depending on the angle of the sun’s rays.

Stained or cracked glass scatters the light into small patches of colour. It gains character and tells a story in your home. This is what makes each light fixture so distinctive once lit. Lovers of oriental decor appreciate this effect very much.

The delivery time of each model is shown on its product page: our Moroccan lights ship from our warehouse in China and arrive in about 8 working days on average. Delivery is free on orders over £65 in the UK.

Our Moroccan lighting in detail

Our Moroccan lighting is made up of pendant lights (about three in five) and chandeliers (about two in five). Every model has a metal frame, often cut out or sculpted, and nearly half combine it with glass, whether plain, coloured, stained or cracked. Gold is the most common finish, with brown, black, white and multicoloured models. Lanterns and spheres are the most frequent shapes, followed by drops and crowns. Examples: the oriental cut-out metal pendant light, the red glass pendant light in Moroccan style and the Moroccan stained glass LED chandelier.

These Moroccan lamps hang from the ceiling, so they suit the living room, the dining room, the bedroom, the hallway and the staircase. Moroccan lighting for the living room works best as a centrepiece above a coffee table or a dining table. Choose a warm white bulb (2700 to 3000 K) to bring out the gold and the patterns cast on the walls; the product page states the fitting and whether a bulb is included.
