Plug-In!
There are plenty of plug-in lights that come in minimalistic designs. Modern plug-in lights and lamps are ideal for your bedroom. Although these features have essential lighting elements, pipe, base, and a light bulb, they can bring an industrial vibe to your sleeping area or an airy space.

It makes a strong statement without making one feel overwhelmed. But, if you like extra drama, make your pendant supersize by all means!
Add Design Aesthetics into Your Space
If you identify with different cultures, minimalistic lighting can be an excellent way for you to express both or more cultures in your home. For instance, you can wrap your artistic rod chandelier with aged metal and leather to give it an industrial edge that blends modern and classic cultures.
Drape it
Add a hint of a rustic look to your minimal living space with a pendant that dangles from a rope cord. The rope should be long enough to drape beautifully to the floor. However, you can make it a little extra by tying a knot mid-air. The best part about this pendant is that you can easily do it yourself with a cord and a pendant light kit.
