    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of vintage lighting are there?

    Vintage lighting covers a range of lighting styles, including table and floor lamps, pendants, wall lights and chandeliers; a single vintage lamp offers one option within the wider category. We gather vintage lighting at Eleish Van Breems Home for its distinctive character and range of designs.

    Which details matter on vintage lighting?

    When choosing vintage lighting, consider the relationship between the shade, fitting and overall design, then look closely at the installation requirements before use; period-inspired sconces sit under vintage wall sconces. Consider the scale and placement of the fitting in relation to the room before buying.

    How does vintage lighting warm a modern room?

    Vintage lighting warms a modern room by setting a distinctive fixture against clean lines, with a pendant or lamp softening a plain scheme, joined by sconces for evening light. Use a single statement fixture as the accent rather than filling a room with them.

    How does vintage lighting suit a modern room? 

    Before using vintage lighting, consider the intended placement, type of light and electrical requirements of the fitting; period wall pieces sit under Swedish wall sconces. Follow the appropriate electrical guidance for the individual fitting and installation.
