There are a lot of reasons to love Global Style Interior Design. One is that it is all about you, and telling the story of your life, adventures, the things you love in your space. It is a total expression and celebration of you. Does that sound selfish? It’s OK, it is your house. Of course, it is about you!
Each piece tells your story. Celebrate your treasures, old and new. modern and vintage, from various parts of the world.
Create a rich tapestry of color, texture, art, and history.
In a previous article, I talked about 10 reasons to love global style design. Let’s talk about my favorite reasons in more detail, which is the magical lighting!
I love the lighting in global style designs. Much of it is handmade with intricate cutouts in metal that create magical patterns of light in a room. See examples from different global styles below, and learn more how to create magical effects with lighting by layering in my article How to Make Magic Happen in Your Home with Lighting.
Bohemian Lighting
Bohemian style combines many of the specific styles from different cultures noted below, and often includes modern colorful and artistic lighting options. Go wild!
Moroccan Style Lighting
The magical lace-like quality of traditional hand-sawn brass allows many Moroccan lights to cast captivating patterns of shadow and light across the room.
Indian Style Lighting
Indian style lighting can have traditional Indian design prints as some of the lamps below, or try something fun like the lotus-shaped chandelier.
Greek Style Lighting
Greek-style lighting can be simple and often uses the color of the sea, the Greek key pattern, or labyrinth pattern that comes from Greek mythology.
Mexican Style Lighting
Mexican style lighting often looks more rustic and folkloric, and uses wood, iron. pierced metal or ceramics.
Turkish Style Lighting
Turkish style lighting often has pierced metal or beautiful colored glass.

I have always loved the pierced metal on lanterns in so many global styles. Great examples here of a key way to add global style with lighting choices!
Yes, they are some of my favorite lighting options!
All such beautiful lighting options. I love the way pierced lanterns create a sparkle in a different way!
Thank you, yes they are so beautiful!
These are all such inspiring lighting choices, Mary Ann. And I love the shadows that lighting throws onto the walls. To me, that alone can create a magical ambience in a room with very little furniture.
Thanks Leslie! I know, the shadows from some of the pierced metal lighting from Turkey and Morocco are truly amazing.
All beautiful selections. It’s funny, I’m not drawn to one in particular (maybe because they’re all so pretty).
So many interesting and beautiful choices for global style!
Thank you so much!
