Lights on for that home-from-home feeling – the best lighting tips for expats
Just arrived? Maybe your new flat doesn’t quite feel like yours yet. No wonder – without the right light, it lacks that certain something. We’ll show you how you can not only see but also feel with good lighting design: Welcome home!
Why light is more than just bright or dark
Whether it’s your first coffee in the morning or a film night on the sofa: the right lighting accompanies you through your everyday life. For our interdisciplinary design team at Bruno Wickart, light is a key ingredient for atmosphere, function and well-being. We call it: light that understands you.
Our colour, lighting and room experts work together to create a home for expats like you that is not only stylish, but also harmonious – with lighting design that supports your everyday life and perfectly complements your interior.
The most important types of lights for your expat home
💡 Pendant lamps – the highlight above your dining table
Whether solo above the table or as a group in the hallway: our pendant lights add structure and style. Particularly popular: glass lights with transparent shades – for more light and lightness. Or how about a marble pendant light for a bit of “wow”?
🧱 Wall lamps – more than just supporting actors
With a wall lamp, your hallway becomes a gallery or the bedroom a soft relaxation zone. Tip: In small bedrooms, dimmable wall lamps create space and cosiness at the same time – without tangled cables on the bedside table.
🪑 Table lamps – style with function
From the bedside table to the chest of drawers to the sideboard – table lamps set colourful accents, bring warm light into dark corners and show off: You have a knack for detail. Some models can even be adjusted – perfect for working or reading.
🛋️ Floor lamps – elegance with attitude
Do you need a light source for your reading corner or want to really set the scene for your sofa? Our floor lamps are real all-rounders. Whether as a slender light source or as a statement piece in a playful design – they make an impression.
⚙️ Lamp accessories – the finishing touch for your lighting concept
Sometimes it’s the details that make everything perfect. Our canopies, shades and light bulbs help you to customise your dream light. Combine freely – we’ll show you how it works best.
How to find your perfect light – our 5 golden rules
🔆 Layer by layer: Combine different light sources to create depth and atmosphere.
🌅 Warm instead of harsh: Warm white light is more inviting – especially in living rooms.
🛠️ Think functional: Reading corner? Workplace? Find the right light for every zone.
🎨 Design can stand out: Let your lamp be an eye-catcher – or whisper, depending on the style.
🧘 Mood counts: Dimmable lights give you control over light and mood.
Design thinking for your sense of light
Our design process starts with one question: How do you want to feel in your room? Then we think in terms of colours, materials and lighting moods – and develop solutions that not only look good, but also work emotionally. Like a little theatre light for your new everyday moments.
