Those exposed light bulbs have been a rather permanent fixture in trendy Scandinavian and industrial themed homes in recent years; and this trend isn’t fading out just yet. Here are 10 ideas to display them a little differently. 
 


1. Vary the types of exposed light bulbs and get messy with the cables. (Interior design by Urban Design & Builders)
 


2. Twirl the cables around a beam. 
 


3. Combine the black cables with black trunking. (Interior design by Spacious Planners)
 


4. Hang the light bulbs in a cluster.
 


5. Instead of hanging them from the ceiling, another way is to spread them out on the wall.
 


6. Separate them into different clusters for a grungier effect. (Interior design by Io Man Style Kounsel)
 


7. Keep it minimal for a bigger impact. (Interior design by Museum)
 


8. Spread the lights out from a single canopy for a chandelier-esque effect.
 


9. Match the cables with other outstanding colours used in the rest of the room’s decor. (Interior design by Three-D Conceptwerke)
 


10. Top the light bulb off with a top hat.
