Designer lighting: how does it differ from conventional lighting?

A designer light is a lamp or chandelier designed to fulfil two functions – to be beautiful and unique as well as diffusing light in an optimal way.  Some designer lights can, for example, create a specific ambiance by filtering the light through specially designed lampshades.

Conventional lights, on the other hand, are much simpler.  There are many common models, and they are made in the cheapest way possible. They are, therefore, much less unique, and less aesthetically pleasing. 

Why buy inexpensive designer lighting?

Often overlooked, lights are more than just another piece of furniture.  Depending on their shape and position, they can really change the mood of a room.  They are also a visual focal point and can make spaces more harmonious.  Finally, designer lighting is one of the most affordable ways to own designer furniture.

The price of designer lighting

As with all designer creations, designer lighting comes with a certain price tag.  Buying them directly from a design house will set you back anywhere from a few hundred euros for smaller models…up to thousands for larger ones. 

Inexpensive designer lighting options, on the other hand, rarely exceed €300, irrespective of the model.  They are sold by independent boutiques from big names in the design world who have their own manufacturers.

Is inexpensive designer lighting a good choice?

Inexpensive designer lighting has excellent production values and is high quality.  Of course, you should do some research into your supplier before you buy, but in general, there is nothing to worry about.  At Diiiz, for example, we are in direct contact with each of our manufacturers and we have a rigorous quality-control process.  The main advantage of buying an expensive designer light is having the label, the recognition of the name, not necessarily an important aspect for most people.

To find high-quality inexpensive designer lighting, choose a reputable supplier like Diiiz.  Learn about the models available and take the time to imagine the ones which interest you in your room.  It is important to choose the inexpensive designer lighting that will suit you, because all our models benefit from durability, and they will have a long lifespan.  Make sure you won’t get tired of your light!
