Understanding Orb Lighting
Before diving into the selection process, let's understand what makes orb lighting unique. Orb lights, also known as globe or spherical lights, feature a circular or spherical design that encases the light source. They are generally glass lights that are enclosed by a variety of materials, including, metal, and porcelain, each offering its own aesthetic appeal.
1. Style Matters
When choosing an orb light, consider the overall style of your space. Orb lights come in a range of designs, from contemporary and minimalist to mid-century and industrial. For example, the Orb Porcelain Pendant Light (pictured above) exudes a delicate elegance yet has a natural/organic style due to its ceramic nature making it perfect for modern and chic interiors.
On the other hand, the Abbacus Pendant Light offers anIndustrial Scandinavian style with its metal frame and minimalist design, ideal for a contemporary spaces.
2. Size and Proportion
The size of your orb light should harmonise with the dimensions of the room. A large orb light such as the Orb Max Pendant Light (featured below) can become a stunning focal point in spacious living rooms, while smaller options like the Half Pendant Light can add charm to cozy corners or hallways. Ensure that the proportions are well-balanced to prevent the fixture from overwhelming the space.
3. Placement and Functionality
Consider where you want to install the orb light. Pendant orb lights like the Grant Pendant Light are ideal for hanging over dining tables, kitchen islands, or in entryways. On the other hand, wall-mounted options such as the Orb Large Surface Wall Light and Orb Mirror Wall Light can serve as decorative elements and provide ambient lighting. Table lamps like the Atom Table Lamp and Nabila Table Lamp are perfect for adding a touch of atmosphere to your bedside or reading nook (We love a light for a nook!!).

Orb lights come in various materials and finishes, each contributing to the overall look and feel of the room. The Aballs Collection includes a wall light, pendant light, table lamp and ceiling light offers a chic and timeless design with its glass globe and metal base, another metal and glass example is the Attalos Wall Light (pictured below) showcases a sleek contemporary lighting design.
Another captivating fusion is glass and ceramic, as exemplified by the Bowl Wall Light (pictured below) (Check out their latest finish - Ochre) and Terra 00 Wall Light. In these fixtures, the ceramic element cradles the exquisite glass orb light, crafting an elegant frame that enhances the radiance and directs light gracefully forward.
