When decorating your home, it’s important to choose the right type of lighting for each room. Here are Online Lighting’s Top 10 Lighting pieces every home must have.


1. Statement chandelier

6. Sensible children’s lighting
Children’s lighting is somewhat trickier to select. You’ll want to keep your child’s room nice and bright but keep in mind that lamps may be prone to being knocked down. Our experts suggest finding a lamp with a sturdy base and minimal glass elements to minimise the chances of it being knocked down and causing accidents.



7. Decorative floor lamps
Floor lamps are often overlooked in homes but can be a great way to introduce an interesting focal point. If you’re using a floor lamp in a den or study, find a unique fixture that can double as your accent piece. Don’t be afraid to pick loud colours or one made with interesting material!



8. Luxurious bathroom lights
Bathroom lighting is not often utilised in most homes. Forgo the boring and dull fluorescent lights and create a luxury hotel feel right in your home with a beautiful pendant light situated right above your bath tub.
