Lighting is the jewelry of the home. It has the power to change a cold, sterile room into a warm, inviting sanctuary. However, proper lighting is not just about hanging a bulb from the ceiling; it is about creating layers.
At Merlons, we offer curated lighting solutions from Europe’s finest brands: the elegant diversity of Viokef (Greece) and the artistic flair of Elements Lighting (France). Here is how to light your home correctly.
1. The Centerpiece: Chandeliers
The chandelier provides the “Ambient Light”—the foundation of the room’s brightness. But it is also a statement piece.
Modern Minimalism: For contemporary spaces, look at Viokef’s linear designs like Denis or Anais. Their clean lines and LED integration offer powerful light without cluttering the view.
Artistic Touch: If you want color and character, Elements Lighting offers models like Leonor (in Rose, Bleu, or Rouge). These aren’t just lights; they are hanging sculptures.
Grandeur: For high ceilings, the multi-light Viokef Shiny or Diana (Gold/Smoke) creates a cascading effect that screams luxury.

2. The Atmosphere: Wall Lamps (Sconces)
Wall lamps are crucial for adding depth. They eliminate harsh shadows and make the room feel wider.
Outdoor & Indoor: Viokef excels here. From the architectural outdoor Clea and Marc series to the decorative indoor Fantasia and Amanda, wall lights serve as perfect accent pieces in hallways or flanking a bathroom mirror.

3. The Cozy Corner: Table Lamps & Torchieres
This is “Task Lighting”—light for reading, working, or relaxing.
Floor Lamps (Torchieres): A tall lamp like Viokef Balzac or Astor placed next to a sofa creates the perfect reading nook. It adds vertical interest to the room.
Table Lamps: Add personality to your desk or bedside table. The Elements Lighting POP NOMAD brings a playful splash of pink, while Viokef Dexter offers a sleek, industrial black-and-copper look. For a touch of nature, check out the green-toned Viokef Viridi.

4. Precision: Spot & Technical Lighting
Sometimes, you need light to be invisible but effective.
Focus: Viokef’s Magnetic LED spots are perfect for highlighting artwork or kitchen counters. They offer a clean, architectural look where the fixture disappears, and only the light remains.
Conclusion: Don’t let your home live in the shadows. Whether you need the Greek reliability of Viokef or the French charm of Elements Lighting, you will find the perfect glow at Merlons.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How high should I hang a chandelier over a dining table? – The bottom of the chandelier should be approximately 75-85 cm above the table surface. This ensures it illuminates the food without blocking the view of the people sitting across from you.
What is “Color Temperature” (3000K vs 4000K)? – This defines the “warmth” of the light. 3000K (Warm White) is yellowish and cozy, perfect for living rooms and bedrooms (like the Viokef Anais). 4000K (Natural White) is brighter and more neutral, better for bathrooms and kitchens.
Can I use outdoor wall lamps inside? – Yes! Outdoor lamps (like Viokef Clea) have high IP protection against water, making them exceptionally durable. Using them indoors can create a rugged, industrial, or modern look.
