Blue-colored light fixtures

Count three markers before choosing: the bulb socket, the mounting height and the shade material. This selection of blue ceiling lights and lamps brings together pendants, floor lamps, table lamps and wall lights for the living room, bedroom, dining room, kitchen or hallway, in metal, steel, glass or velvet.

What light does a blue light fitting give?

A blue light fitting diffuses light that takes on the tint of its shade or glass, but the bulb sets the final colour. In this selection, temperatures range from 2700 to 3500 K, a warm white that warms the blue rather than cooling it.

Blue light: bright or dimmed?

The result depends first on the material. A blue velvet shade, like the one on the velvet shade pendant, filters the light and lays it softly on the walls. Metal and steel, the majority of the collection, reflect a sharper light without a halo. Glass lets the source through: opal glass pendants light widely without glare, which explains their place in living areas.

Blue light fittings and warm white: how to balance

Blue is a cool colour: paired with cool white, it pulls the room towards an office or workshop feel. With a warm white bulb, the same light fitting becomes cosy. On a neutral wall, keep warm white; in a hallway with no daylight, a neutral white around 4000 K gives a crisper light. To compare families, browse the modern living room light fittings.

Which blue light fitting to choose for each room?

In this selection, bedroom and living room come first: table lamps, floor lamps and pendants all find their place there, followed by the dining room, kitchen and hallway. The choice comes down to format and the number of light points rather than colour.

Kitchen light fittings: pendant or ceiling light?

Above an island, a low pendant centres the light on the worktop; a ceiling light works when the room is open and nothing should drop into your line of sight. The Gigi 5 light pendant in glass and metal screws in with E14 and spreads light across several points. For a corner kitchen, also look at the design kitchen light fittings.

Light fittings for toilets and small rooms: which model

A compact, closed model, wall light or ceiling light, is enough: the whole selection is rated IP20, so intended for indoor use with no water splashes. Measure the wall width before choosing the diameter, and keep an E27 socket so you do not depend on a rare bulb. The toilet light fittings gather the short formats.

Pendant, wall light or floor lamp in blue: which shape for which use?

A pendant lights a table and sits above a precise surface, a wall light frees the floor and dresses a wall, a floor lamp lights a reading corner. The collection covers all three families, with round, ball, tube or arc shapes.

Blue pendant and chandelier above the table

Above a table, the rule is simple: the bottom of the shade sits around 75 to 85 cm from the top, depending on the height of the diners. The Hilde 3 light pendant in metal screws in with E27; the Disc 4 light pendant, more compact at 20 cm, suits narrow tables. Other models are gathered in the pendants and chandeliers.

Blue ceiling light: when the ceiling is the only option

In a corridor, a landing or a room with a low ceiling, nothing should hang down. The ceiling light or ceiling wall light illuminates without clutter, and settles for a single bulb. It is also the answer for hallways where you move about with bags: no cable at shoulder height.

Blue floor lamp for reading and relaxing

A floor lamp works on two criteria: total height and arm reach. The Cyane blue velvet floor lamp brings light above the armchair without taking up floor space. The blue velvet arc lamp, with its 210 cm and 45 cm shade, plays the same role in an arched version. See the standing lamps for other configurations.

How to match a blue light fitting with the rest of the decor?

The blue in this selection is most often paired with black, sometimes with silver, white or taupe. A blue light fitting on a neutral base stays discreet; on a blue wall, choose a lighter one or glass to create contrast.

Blue grey light fittings: the softest version

A blue grey sits like a neutral: it accepts light wood, linen and off-white without ever clashing. It is the shade to pick when the room is already colourful and only one accessory is left to add. If you want something even lighter, the beige colourway plays the same role in a brighter key.

Colourful and chic light fittings: blue, black, silver

Black structures, silver lightens, blue warms the whole. A blue wall light with an offset arm in steel and velvet plays this card: fine structure, 50 cm shade, adjustable reach from 115 to 145 cm. To widen the palette, compare the bottle green version and the terracotta shades, which shift the same dark base.

Which bulbs and which socket for a blue light fitting?

Most models in this collection screw in with E27; glass pendants often use a small E14 socket, and some models a G9. In terms of power, values range from 8 to 40 W depending on the reference.

E27 or E14 socket: which to choose?

E27 is the most common socket here: on floor lamps, table lamps and some pendants. E14 concerns glass pendants, which are more compact, like the Gigi 3 light pendant. G9 appears on an opal glass pendant with an 8 W source. Always check the socket on the model sheet before buying the bulb.

LED, dimmer and light temperature: what you need to know

Some models accept a dimmer, not all: this is stated on the product sheet. If you want to lower the intensity in the evening, choose the compatible reference from the start, a dimmable bulb is not enough if the fitting is not. For models with an integrated source, compare the LED living room lighting, which save you adding a bulb.

How to install and care for a blue light fitting?

The whole selection is rated IP20: these light fittings are intended for indoor use, protected from water splashes. The warranty is two years across all models. A soft cloth is enough for metal; velvet and fabric are dusted dry.

IP20 rating: what it means

IP20 means protection against solid objects over 12.5 mm, with no protection against water. These light fittings therefore go in a bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen or hallway, but not in a shower area of a bathroom or outdoors. For outdoor use, look at the modern outdoor light fittings.

At what height should a pendant or floor lamp be placed?

Above a table, allow 75 to 85 cm between the shade and the top. A wall light is generally placed at 1.50 or 1.80 m from the floor, at eye level. A reading floor lamp adjusts to the seat: the shade should reach above the shoulder and the arm should bring the light onto the book. The blue velvet arc floor lamp rises to 240 cm and adjusts on this principle.

Original decorative light fittings: how to move beyond the classic fitting?

The most striking pieces in the collection play on shape: ball, arc, tube, or velvet shade. A single strong light fitting is enough to shift the mood; around it, keep simple models so the blue stays readable.

Original light fittings: ball, arc and tube

The Ondis round blue metal lamp plays the sphere card, from the floor up to 170 cm. Arc shapes take up space without a visible base in the centre of the room. These silhouettes stand out: one per room is enough. The original light fittings gather the most graphic shapes.

Chic light fittings: blue velvet and silver finishes

Velvet catches the light and softens it; silver steel keeps the line sharp. Together they give an understated but dressed object, at home in a living room as in a bedroom. To go further with finishes, the high-end selection and the fabric and velvet light fittings show the other shade materials.

Before ordering, check the socket, the maximum accepted power, the dimensions and the protection rating. In store as online, these four pieces of information decide compatibility with your room; at Designix, payment is secure, delivery is tracked and returns are possible.

Lighting store Lyon and lighting clearance Lyon: what happens on site

Seeing a light fitting in real life settles a question a photo cannot: the true shade of the blue and the weight of the piece. That is the value of a store visit. The technical information is the same everywhere, though, and a lighting clearance sale in Lyon changes nothing about bulb compatibility. Start by comparing all Designix light fittings.

Payment, tracked delivery and returns: the Designix service
