How to make your space look vintage with lighting

How to make your space look vintage with lighting

So, you're trying to create or upkeep your vintage decor, but want all the benefits that come with LED bulbs? Don't worry, you can still keep in-theme with these wonderful vintage light bulbs, we'll give you our best recommendations throughout.

The benefits of LED light bulbs 

 

First of all, let's just touch on why you should absolutely get LED bulbs, no matter what your interior theme is.
In short, they are up to 80% more efficient than traditional incandescent light bulbs - they save you money and so much effort as they last longer too. They're better for the environment and quite often just improve the aesthetics of the room. You can read our blog on why you should use LED bulbs by clicking here.

The classic vintage bulb

Let's start with the classic vintage light bulb. We have such a wide selection to suit any type of theme you want to achieve. From round, mini, Edison, quad and long. We especially love how many have chosen to style this vintage Edison spiral long bulb. It creates an almost industrial Victorian type feel in every room that it's placed in.

As you can see from all of these bulbs, they still adhere to the traditional vintage feeling but have modern features (like dimmable options) to make sure you don't have to compromise on style or quality.

Candle-style LED bulbs

For a truly vintage throw-back vibe you can't go as far back as candlelight. Check out these wonderful candle bulbs that give you way more light than an actual candle, without any compromise on style.

These are perfect for lighting which allows you to see the bulb, they add a subtle but effective addition to any room. Also, have you seen the flame tip dimmable LED bulb? We love the cosy, understated ambience that candle bulbs give you, it doesn't actually have to limit you to a vintage interior either - what house doesn't love a beautiful candle?

Colour

If you want an easy way to create a vintage type feel in your space, look for colour. Obviously, a warm glow always creates that kind of traditional look that we all love. Rather than scattering around daylight or white lights, use a yellow or orange glow to enhance your vintage aesthetics. Of course, the colour of your bulbs is so important and you might want white light in other spaces, as practicality like your kitchen and office.

There's no real rule with lighting - mix up your warm and white lights wherever you need to.
