While lighting is a practical and necessary component in designing and making a home feel truly like home, your lights don't have to look boring for the sake of practicality. There are many types of lighting fixtures and other options to choose from, including this year's line-up of lighting trends!
Large statement light fixtures and chandeliers are increasingly popular options this year, as they are practical focal points of living rooms and dining rooms. Statement lighting and large chandeliers can not only pull a room's design together, but can also be used as the building point when designing a room instead. With the wide selection of materials available, from wood and metal to glass and more, statement light fixtures are well worth the investment when you want to make an impact.
Sustainable building materials for homes as grown in popularity and that also applies to materials used in the home, specifically plaster. The warm tone and neutral color of plaster makes for lighting that is complimentary to almost any interior design. Plaster lighting can be found in pendant lighting, chandeliers, layered lighting, lamps, and more, which means that you can include plaster light fixtures in multiple ways throughout your home.
Pendant light fixtures are known for their applications in kitchens and bathrooms, but pendant lighting is also becoming popular for other rooms! Glass pendant light fixtures are versatile in their design applications, fitting living rooms, bedrooms, and more, while still providing the sleek, modern design that has remained popular in recent years. But the true beauty of pendant light fixtures is the variety of materials, including wood, metal, fabric shades, rope and basket weave for example, that can fit any room you need appropriate lighting in, while maintaining the design's integrity.
Retro-style light fixtures call back to nostalgia and can easily transform a room into a vintage interior design magazine photo. The structure and color variety provides numerous options that are eye-catching without taking up too much space typically. You also will see more Edison bulbs and antique style fixtures with plenty of brass or black tones, as well as metal being the predominant material choice. The nostalgic or historical feeling of these types of light fixtures adds character and intrigue to rooms, making for an interesting conversation starter as well.
Floor and table lamps are making a comeback this year, as having multiple light fixtures and décor helps to create ambiance and depth in a room. While a chandelier above the dining table provides plenty of light while being a great focal point, a few floor lamps can help shift the mood of the room easily. Having multiple lighting options can also help to make a room feel more cozy and warm, while also adding diversity to the room's overall design through textures and colors.
