Lighting is a necessity, but it can also be a great way to bright up the room with some style. You can upgrade you home’s look with decorative accent lighting. To make lighting the main focus of a room, you have to be sure it looks good even when it’s turned off.
Unless you don’t want an industrial look for your home, simple lighting bulbs are out of style! The new lighting trends are more about originality and creativity and less about simplicity.
Industrial Style Lighting
Since we already mentioned the industrial style, let’s start with it and see what options we have in terms of lighting. Even though industrial means by default simplicity, when it comes to home décor, the lighting style got a French upgrade. The ceiling lamps and the kitchen lighting available in this style have a touch of elegance added by the warm metals used in their design, by the black and white palette or by the geometric shape of the support. The classic yellow lighting bulbs were replaced with white ones for even more elegance and minimalism.
Oversized Lighting Fixtures
This type of lighting will definitely make a bold statement and it will easily become the focal point of the room.
You might think that you need a huge house to incorporate this home design trend, but that’s surely not the case! For a beautiful style accent you can hang lighting fixtures above your dining table. This year warm metals are preferred by interior designers so if you cannot decide what kind of pedant lighting to choose, you can search for bronze and gold tones. They look very good in simply designed rooms.
If you are into DIY you can create your very own lighting fixtures out of wood or other materials you love.
Chandeliers
You can never go wrong with a chandelier. It adds class and elegance to any room in the blink of an eye. Having a chandelier in your house is like having a piece of jewelry hanging from your ceiling. You can choose from traditional crystal chandeliers that reflect the light in all kinds of beautiful ways or for contemporary chandeliers that are more minimalistic but as elegant and vibrant as the traditional ones.
Pastel Lighting
If you are into modern trends, glass chandeliers are a great alternative to lighting fixtures, especially if you chose the ones made of color-infused glass. They are more edgy and sophisticated and, if matched with other home decoration, they add a very nice and warm feeling to a simple room.
When they are used above the kitchen nook they change the entire aspect of the kitchen. They add style and class to any functional room from your house. People will love to spend more time in the kitchen for sure!
Pendant Lighting
This contemporary lighting option was a huge trend in 2015 and it still is well loved. Like any other loved trend in home décor, pendant lighting will be in style for a while, so if you want to modernize your home, this is a great and cheap way to do it! If the classic pendants are too simple for you, you can search for various shapes. For example, we found the pendant hats and we really love them.
