Bachelor Pad Essentials – The Best Industrial-Style Lighting
Words: Violet
Lights – not the most riveting of furniture or interior categories, but this week we can’t get enough of industrial style lighting and boring, it ain’t! Industrial style lighting fixtures are the hottest way to toughen up any bachelor pad, whether you live in a modern flat with white walls, or a loft-style apartment with exposed brick walls, this is the lighting style for you. From vintage to new or ‘up-cycled’ pieces, we bring you a few of our favourite lighting fixtures this week…
XXL VINTAGE HOSPITAL LAMP, This is a very rare piece from Germany which would look incredible in a large and spacious bachelor pad. The high quality hospital surgery lamp has a glass front and round shaped mirror stripes inside. The 1 E27 bulb creates an amazing reflection, not dissimilar to natural sunlight. At such a vast size, this certainly won’t go un missed., £POA, from 1stdibs.com
BOWIE FLOOR LAMP, Whether you just want one for your table, or a block for your floor, the Bowie collection lets you pick and choose from its bold style. The fabric shades mean the light isn’t all locked up, trickling out the sides instead. Expertly mounted on a metal wire frame these are the perfect way to recreate the buzz and feel of a stadium concert with your lighting. Perfect if you’re going for a trendy loft look., £79 from, made.com
HOOKED LIGHT BULBS, These may be the simplest of our selection this week, but they are by no means the least impressive. The chandelier is made up of six light pendants, all with their own customising hooks. The brass hooks are housed in a rubber ceiling rose and allow the light to be customised into any sculptural shape that you desire. Finished in solid knurled brass with matte rubber detailing, it doesn’t get more industrial than this. Coming straight from one of our favourite websites of the moment, these simple, but effortlessly cool light bulbs will add an industrial edge to any home., £650, from store.busterandpunch.com
