Belorra Ceiling Light | French Modern Double Globe Design In Four Soft Muted Shade Colours

Two globes rather than one is the whole design decision here. A single shade lights the point directly beneath it, while a pair spreads the same output across a wider span, which is why this suits a hallway or an entryway where a single fitting leaves one end of the space in shadow and forces you to add a second one further along.

The Marlow Vane Belorra pairs those glass globes with a ribbed canopy, and the ribbing is what gives the fitting texture when it is switched off in daylight. Four colours are offered. Beige is the near neutral, green is the coolest and works over timber, red is the deepest and most confident, and black draws a firm line against white plaster and suits a modern flat.

Buy it now if a hallway ceiling has been a plain white disc for years. Because the fitting sits close to the ceiling it works in rooms without the height for a pendant, which is most hallways and older bedrooms. This is a hardwired fixture and should be installed by a qualified electrician to local electrical code, with the circuit isolated at the breaker first and the glass left to cool before cleaning.
