What, Exactly, Is Whimsical and Eclectic Lighting?

By definition, whimsical means playful, fanciful, mischievous and unpredictable. When it comes to lighting, the word has many visual translations. It might be a chandelier encased in a gyroscope, like whimsical ceiling lighting designed by Batalion. It might incorporate asymmetric curls of metal like some of the whimsical lighting pendants by Corbett Lighting and Elan. It could also take the shape of eclectic lamps in vibrant colors or unusual chandeliers from popular manufacturers like Quoizel and Elk Lighting.

Why People Buy Unique Lighting Fixtures

If you are new to eclectic lighting designs, you might wonder why people buy them. In truth, people select whimsical lights for dozens of reasons, including:

• They are perfect for hard to decorate spaces.

• Whimsical lamps pick up on an existing decorating scheme.

• They inspire new decorating ideas.

• Whimsical lights are great conversation starters when guests come over.

• They infuse a generic room a dash of personality.

• Unique lighting can reflect the owner’s personal interests and add an intimate touch to any room.
