These lights will look just as good switched off as they do on... Branch Chandelier
Bubble lighting offers a versatile and visually appealing way to illuminate a room and happens to look just as good switched off as it does when turned on.
Otherwise known as ball lights or globe lights, bubble lights are large, round light fixtures, sometimes in clusters or just a single pendant, and often made from glass to add a striking elegance to your living space. The name is not to be confused with George Nelson's iconic Bubble Lamp series; a mid-century classic (circa 1947) with plastic coating stretched over a steel wire frame. Though we'd very much expect the spherical silhouettes to inspire the contemporary, playful bubble lights on the market today.
Here we put a spotlight on our favourite bubble lights for 2023.
Embracing the art of both bold and subtle is this charcoal grey bubble lamp from Houseof. The metal stem design and suspending milky-white opal shades create a striking contrast – and we can't get enough.
Inspired by 1970s furniture design, this burnished brass pendant is encased in a natural raffia shell that diffuses light beautifully. Note that the bubble glass is included, but you do have to buy the G9 bulb separately.
Featuring six smoked glass pendants and a brass-toned body, this punchy bubble pendant from our House Beautiful Marketplace will be sure to take centre stage over your dining table or in your entryway.
Designed with a matt opal sphere that's positioned off-centre to an oversized matt black disk, this quirky number from Lights & Lamps is reminiscent of an eclipse. Don't forget, the globe is included, but you'll need to buy the G9 bulb separately.
Bubble lighting has never looked so luxurious. Crafted with opal and marble-effect glass shades, this ceiling light is guaranteed to add a luxe, contemporary look to your living area. It has an adjustable drop too, making it particularly ideal for dining areas.
Tapping into the Barbiecore trend, this pink bar wall light supports three opal glass shades, which diffuse a soft, illuminating glow that's perfect for bedtime reading.
There's no better way to make a statement at home than with a striking chandelier. Naturally, this Dunelm gem is a favourite of ours, with a brushed brass finish and gloss white glass shades that give a modern-meets-mid-century look.
This minimalist bubble ceiling light from chic lighting brand Houseof sees a clear glass dome shade encased by an opal glass ball. It's supported by a sleek oval brass body that complements the overall simplicity of the design perfectly.
Here's a statement dining room light if ever we've seen one. Made from bubble glass with an opalescent finish, this six-light bar pendant will be the talk of your next dinner party when positioned above your dining table.
Create a glowy, ethereal look at home with this gorgeous bubble glass pendant from John Lewis. The warm brass base lends a slightly vintage touch, while the opalescent finish creates a lovely textured effect on the walls.
The smoky grey finish of this Industville bubble pendant would make a fab addition to dining areas with an industrial feel. You could pop three of the smaller globes above your dining table or, alternatively, hang the larger nine-inch version solo in the middle.
Blending the classic opulence of polished brass with 10 modern opal globes, this sputnik bubble chandelier from Marks & Spencer is a real treat for the senses. If it was us, we'd have it as the focal point in our living room.
With its solid marble grey base and striking bubble-like glass globe, the Farah lamp is a real head-turner. Pair it with a statement firework bulb to finish off the look.
