Whether you want to make a statement or provide functional but still visually interesting lighting in your home, these are some of the biggest trends in lighting for the year.
Linear
An LED linear suspension light is a streamlined hanging fixture featuring a series of LEDs (light emitting diodes) that create seamless illumination along the fixture’s length. The beams can be hung individually or in groups and are best suspended over a kitchen island or a dining table.
Colourful
Lampshades in candy-coloured hues and muted pastels are growing in popularity. Brass and gold finishes, which have been popular for several seasons, are still going strong too.
Customisable
Being able to customise and configure already installed lighting is a valuable addition, such as a long track that can snake around corners and nearly any flat surface with modules can be rotated and repositioned anywhere. Another example would be a fixture made with an LED light source, steel, aluminium and glass with flexible wires so it can be reshaped to your heart’s desire.
Circular
Disc-like wall sconces complement contemporary homes. They can provide both illumination and statement wall pieces, whether in the living area or hallway.
Sculptural
“Sculptural lighting” is a somewhat catch-all term for lighting whose unconventional, artistic form is as important (or often more important) than its functionality. Current trends include lighting looks borrowed from nature, mimicking river rocks, flowers and crystals.
