Murano lamp colors: How to choose the right shade
Color is the first thing people notice about a Murano lamp. And with good reason — the vibrant, deep hues in mouth-blown Murano glass are truly special. But which color should you choose? It depends on the room, the mood, and your personal style. Here’s your guide to finding the perfect shade.
Why your lamp’s color matters more than you think
A lamp’s color doesn’t just affect how the lamp looks — it affects the whole room. Colored glass filters and tints the light passing through it, creating an atmosphere that spreads throughout the space. A warm yellow lamp creates a very different room than a cool blue one.
That’s why color choice is so important when it comes to Murano Candy lamps. You’re not just choosing a color for the lamp — you’re choosing a mood for the room.
Color guide: Room by room
Dining room: Warm, inviting tones
Recommended: Yellow/white or orange/white
The dining room is the heart of gatherings — where people eat, talk, and share. Warm colors like yellow and orange create a welcoming atmosphere, make food look more appetizing, and make faces glow. A yellow Candy lamp over the dining table is one of our most popular combinations, and for good reason.
Living room: Sophisticated, balanced shades
Recommended: Petrol green/white or blue/white
The living room is the space’s outward face and your private retreat. Here, more subdued, sophisticated colors work best. Petrol green offers a natural, calm elegance, while blue adds depth without dominating. Both colors pair beautifully with most interior styles — from minimalist Scandinavian to more eclectic bohemian.
Bedroom: Soft, calming tones
Recommended: Pink/white or light blue/white
The bedroom is about relaxation and rest. The softer shades in our range — pink and light blue — create an intimate, calming mood. Pink gives a warm, romantic glow, while light blue evokes clear skies and quiet mornings. Both colors are perfect as wall lamps by the bed.
Kitchen: Fresh, energetic colors
Recommended: Yellow/white or red/white
The kitchen is activity, energy, and creativity. Fresh, lively colors like yellow and red suit the dynamic of this room perfectly. A red Candy lamp over the kitchen island is a bold choice that pays off — it injects energy and personality into the space.
Entryway: A first impression
Recommended: White or yellow/white
The entryway is the first thing guests see. A simple white or warm yellow Candy lamp welcomes with style without overwhelming. It sets the tone for the rest of the home.
Bathroom: Fresh and clean
Recommended: Light blue/white or white
The bathroom calls for fresh, clean colors. Light blue gives a spa-like feel, and white glass provides clear, crisp light. A Candy-plafond is ideal for the bathroom since it mounts close to the ceiling and is protected from moisture.
The psychology of colors
Behind color choices lies color psychology — well-documented research on how colors affect our mood and behavior:
- Yellow: Optimism, warmth, energy. Encourages conversation and appetite
- Blue: Calm, trust, focus. Lowers heart rate and blood pressure
- Green: Balance, harmony, nature. The most relaxing color for the eye
- Red: Passion, energy, appetite. Draws attention
- Pink: Softness, romance, care. Comforting and warm
- Orange: Creativity, enthusiasm, social interaction. Warmer than yellow, softer than red
- White: Purity, clarity, simplicity. Universal and timeless
Combine multiple lamps
One of the most beautiful looks with Murano Candy lamps is combining several lamps in the same room. Here are three strategies:
Tone-on-tone
Choose lamps in different shades of the same color — e.g., light blue and petrol, or pink and red. This creates a cohesive, sophisticated expression.
Complementary colors
Combine colors opposite each other on the color wheel — blue and orange, or yellow and purple. This gives contrast and dynamism.
Same color, different sizes
Hang, for example, three yellow Candy lamps in small, medium, and large above a dining table or in a staircase. Uniform color, varying scale — simple and striking.
How to evaluate color in your room
Colors behave differently in different rooms and lighting conditions. Here are tips to make sure you choose correctly:
- Consider natural light: North-facing rooms have cool light — warm colors compensate. South-facing rooms have warm light — you can choose more freely
- Consider wall color: White walls reflect the lamp’s color. Dark walls absorb it
- Think about the time of day: The lamp’s color is most apparent in the evening. Imagine the room in evening light
- See the lamp in person: Screens don’t show the full truth. Visit our showroom to see the colors live
Still unsure?
Color choice is personal, and there’s no wrong answer. But if you’re uncertain, yellow/white is our most popular color and a safe winner in most rooms. It’s warm, inviting, and works with almost any interior style.
