Maisons du Monde offers lighting fixtures as part of a large catalog of decor and furniture. If you are looking for the same decorative spirit but with a deeper choice of lighting, finely categorized by type and room, Designix is the specialist lighting alternative: an online boutique dedicated to designer lighting, with a regularly updated catalog and tracked delivery throughout France.
Generalist decor store or lighting specialist?
Both approaches are complementary, but they do not meet the same need. Here is how they compare when buying a lighting fixture.
| Criteria | Generalist decor store | Lighting specialist (Designix) |
|---|---|---|
| Role of lighting | One department among furniture and decor | The entire catalog is lighting |
| Depth of choice | Limited selection by type | Deep selection by type, room, and style |
| Classification | By decorative ambiance | By type, room, and style |
| Technical information | Often limited | Detailed dimensions, base, LED, IP rating |
| Ideal for | Furnishing a room all at once | Finding exactly the right light |
What you will find at Designix
The catalog covers all families of lighting, with a decorative spirit similar to what you enjoy at Maisons du Monde:
- Central lighting: chandeliers and pendant lights for the living room and dining room.
- General lighting: ceiling lights, LED ceiling lights, and LED spotlights.
- Ambiance and accent lighting: wall lamps, floor lamps, table lamps, and bedside lamps.
- Outdoor: outdoor lighting for the entrance, terrace, and garden.
Matching lighting with your decor
A successful lighting choice is not made in isolation: it interacts with the furniture, colors, and materials of the room. Three simple principles help to coordinate them.
Incorporate existing materials
A brass fixture complements gold handles, a light wood model extends Scandinavian furniture, a matte black finish highlights a graphic interior. See our Scandinavian, industrial, and matte black collections.
Adjust light temperature
For a warm, cozy ambiance, stay around 2700 K. For a kitchen or bathroom, neutral light around 4000 K makes tasks more precise. Mixing several sources in a room creates depth.
Respect proportions
Above a table, a pendant should be centered between 70 and 85 cm from the tabletop. In a large living room, an imposing chandelier anchors the space where a small model would get lost.
Choosing your lighting room by room
Living room
Central lighting for ambiance, supplemented by a floor lamp for reading and wall lamps for softness. See living room lighting.
Bedroom
Soft lighting: discreet ceiling light, bedside lamps, adjustable wall lamp. Browse bedroom lighting.
