Lighting plays a key role in interior design, not only as a matter of functionality, but also because of its ability to transform spaces and influence our mood.
New lighting trends in colour and materials focus on warm tones, bold combinations and advanced technologies.
Lights with warm shades continue to be the most popular solutions for creating cosy and relaxing atmospheres. Ideal for living rooms and bedrooms, this type of light helps reduce stress and improves visual comfort.
Neutral white light remains a winning choice for offices and kitchens because of its ability to improve concentration and visibility. New LED technologies are increasingly able to mimic natural light, adapting to circadian rhythms and improving physical well-being.
An interesting solution are LED lamps with adjustable shades, which allow light to be adapted according to the time of day.
RGB lighting solutions offer incredible versatility, allowing colours to be changed to suit different needs. Pastel tones such as pink and blue are perfect for creating relaxing atmospheres, while bright colours such as violet and blue are ideal for modern, dynamic spaces.
The integration of RGB lighting into furniture and architectural structures also makes it possible to create immersive effects and environments with a strong visual impact.
Lamps with shaded tones and translucent materials are gaining in popularity, thanks to the colour gradient effect that allows for dynamic light effects, perfect for sophisticated and contemporary environments.
Another emerging trend is the use of reflective surfaces and innovative light diffusers that amplify and modulate lighting in unique ways.
In addition to the types of lighting, the design and materials of lamps also follow new trends.
Golden, matt black and brass finishes lend elegance, while pastel colours and earthy shades are ideal for minimalist settings. The use of eco-friendly and recycled materials has been a growing trend for some time now, responding to the increased demand for sustainable solutions.
Lamp finishes are also becoming increasingly prominent in the lighting world, with a variety of options to suit every style. Among the most popular are:
Textural effects such as Painted Corten, are perfect for industrial style environments.
Glossy surfaces such as Crystal, Mirror and Black Chrome, bring a touch of luxury and contemporary to spaces.
MOONLIGHT
Elegant colours such as Painted Gold, Painted Silver, Painted Bronze and Copper Leaf add sophistication.
Sophisticated finishes such as Gold Leaf, Silver Leaf and Satin Aluminium give a refined and timeless look.
Vibrant shades such as red, green, orange and light blue are ideal for more creative and dynamic spaces.
A particular example of the use of coloured finishes is the new Anaconda lighting system. This innovative wall and ceiling system is characterised by the mouldability of the tubular silicone body and the 360 degree light diffusion. Anaconda offers a range of elements that can be customised in both shape and colour, making it possible to create tailor-made lighting solutions for any environment.
When lighting outdoor spaces, it is important to choose lamps and spotlights with materials that are resistant to the weather and the wear and tear of time.
Materials to be used for outdoor lighting include:
AISI 316L stainless steel
A material that is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in wet and marine environments.
Due to its composition, it offers superior protection against rust and weathering. It is ideal for lights installed in gardens, terraces and coastal areas, ensuring longevity and modern aesthetics.
Anodised Aluminium
Lightweight and weather-resistant, it has a protective layer on the metal surface that makes it corrosion-resistant and perfect for outdoor lighting solutions.
Copper
With its natural evolution, copper is ideal for those looking for a material that changes over the years. When installed outdoors, it starts a spontaneous reaction with oxygen and water, forming its own natural protective layer of copper oxide on the surface, creating a unique and refined aesthetic effect.
The choice of lamp finishes and the right light colour can deeply influence the atmosphere of any room. Experimenting with different lighting solutions, materials and finishes is the best way to find the perfect mix between aesthetics and functionality and make each space unique. Thanks to different solutions, it is increasingly easy to customise lighting according to one's needs, both aesthetically and functionally, making lighting a central element of design.
Lighting plays a key role in interior design, not only as a matter of functionality, but also because of its ability to transform spaces and influence our mood. New lighting trends in colour and materials focus on warm tones, bold combinations and advanced technologies.
Lighting inside a sacred space is an essential aspect that defines the environment, enriches the spiritual experience and inspires a deep emotional involvement in those who enter it. Light, in all its forms, symbolically represents divinity and inner guidance in sacred places. Its use must be studied with particular care to respect the sacredness of the place, enhance spirituality and accompany the faithful on an inner journey.
Wine is more than just a drink: it is a sensory experience that begins with its enveloping aroma, evoking memories and arousing deep emotions. Since Roman times, wine has been stored in cool, dark rooms to protect it from the harmful effects of light and temperature variations. Over the centuries, conservation techniques have evolved, and today illumination plays a key role.
