This paper reflects on the history of decorative luminaire design. The development of the new sources of light within residential environment has been changing the luminaire design. Residential dwellings have been lit by a lot of light sources through the centuries form a point lamps like candle or incandescent lamps to linear florescent lamps and LED strips. A development of SSL technology introduced an idea of lit surfaces. Energy efficiency of light sources and luminaires has been playing more important role since an idea of sustainable design had entered the residential dwellings. The design of electric lighting is combined with daylight design and applied into modern home setups. The changes in energy efficient lighting technology have increased the complexity of luminaire design often leaving a user with a wide choice of luminaires but with a lack of knowledge how to use them.
