Home design: 2022 brings a wave of colour
With orange and blue leading the way, the Pantone colours of 2022 evoke sunshine, water, sky, summer, warmth, energy, freedom and a positive mindset. Designers in the 70s and 90s expressed these same values: styles that were not only aesthetic but also symbolic. Today’s affordable lamps—whether pendant lights, chandeliers or wall lights—represent a brighter, more joyful life. They’re the perfect way to bring a touch of optimism to your home décor.
Vintage lighting: decorative illumination with character
The era of disco, free love, and rock ‘n’ roll: the 70s were an incredibly creative period with bold designers unafraid to take risks. A vintage lamp from this era is defined by innovative shapes and unique materials, bringing irresistible charm. Vintage pendants are enjoying a revival at unbeatable prices: blue wall lights over a console table, crystal feature chandeliers in the dining room, or a retro orange lamp beside your bed—options abound.
Minimalist interiors: for or against vintage?
These iconic lamps from the 70s boast inventive, forward-thinking designs. It’s no wonder they fit so seamlessly into even the most modern interiors. Minimalism harmonises perfectly with a dash of eclecticism. Revamped as colourful retro lighting, these pieces now offer both beautiful decorative and practical lighting. Pendants, ceiling lights and retro wall lights bring the finishing touch to any contemporary space.
Fluorescent and retro wall lights: reliving the 90s
90s design is also back in our homes, bolder than ever. Retro wall lights feature raw materials, clean lines and daring colours. A striking ceiling light with neon highlights, a vivid pendant or a fun table lamp will complete your 90s-inspired look.
A wild 90s colour palette
The 90s stand out: neon, fluo, acidic, electric, flash… a whole spectrum of energetic colours that invigorate your décor. As the ultimate techno decade, the 90s brought with them new materials and technologies. Retro wall lights, pendants and table lamps from this era combine matte black, brushed metal and glass, punctuated by striking electric details with unmistakable high-tech vibes.

Neon lights up your life
Neon and fluorescent wall lights were hugely popular in the 90s—found everywhere from shops to nightclubs. Today, these vintage ceiling lights are appearing in interiors as both a lighting solution and a stylish accent, from the kitchen to the bathroom. Flexible retro neon gives you endless creative freedom: shape it into names, messages or symbols to express your personality.
Your home, your style
On the wall, hanging from the ceiling, installed as a ceiling light or sitting on a side table—neon and retro lighting instantly lend character to your interior. Don’t hesitate to mix design styles for a space that really lets your individuality shine. For example, framing a contemporary console table with bold neon lights brings out your dynamic side while adding a lively splash of colour to a classic wall.
Plastic lamps: retro chic
Plastic—the emblem of the 70s—is true design. Whether a pendant light, wall light or table lamp, these lighting fixtures create a bright, inviting atmosphere. Plastic’s light weight makes it easy to move your vintage lamp around the home. You can also change bulb colours to completely transform the mood in a room. In your living room, bedroom, dining area or on your desk or bedside table, these creative coloured lamps instantly inject retro flair—plus, you’ll find them at great prices.

Matching crystal lamps
Retro crystal lighting isn’t limited to chandeliers—they also come as floor lamps, which look striking as a pair flanking a designer sofa. A sophisticated twist on the traditional ceiling light or decorative crystal pendant, these vintage lamps will make your living room both luxe and glamorous—a top pick for a chic, urban-inspired space. And all at affordable prices.
Crystal lighting in the bathroom?
Why not embrace crystal lighting as the main feature—as a pendant, table lamp, or wall light—in the bathroom? It’s a hot trend for today’s wet rooms. Crystal ceiling lights make raw materials like stone really pop, reinforcing the overall elegance. You can create a deliberately vintage atmosphere by choosing crystal fixtures in brass or brushed bronze. A few gold or bronze touches against a mostly black or white palette add a much-loved design edge. The only thing left is to pick your affordable vintage lamp: pendant, bedside lamp, wall light—your choice.
