They say the right accessory can take your outfit to the next level– the same holds true for home lighting. Although the concept of ‘lighting’ is a prerequisite in deciphering the mood and ambience of a room, it does tend to become more of an afterthought.
Given the hype behind neon signs and vintage chandeliers growing by the minute, it’s no surprise that statement lighting is the newest trend in town. Now’s the time to whip out those Pinterest moodboards you’ve been curating!
From flush mounts to floor lamps, here are our picks of some statement lighting trend inspos that your home decor team will thank you for.
Give in to Unexpected Matches
Some styles, no matter how different, are an instant match when paired together. If you’d consider yourself an indecisive decorator who can never settle on one final look, this trend ensures that you don’t break a sweat. Ever.
The idea of taking an old-world design element like a chandelier, and modernizing it is the ultimate contrast between traditional and contemporary, and creates a unique spin on a classic. With vintage styles making a comeback, clean and crisp-charactered interiors are indefinitely a good look across the board.
Play With Natural Textures
Calming spaces often feature some kind of natural texture or theme running through them, and that as a matter of fact, has an angle of science to it. The feeling of being connected to the great outdoors not only enhances and rejuvenates your mood but also reflects the same natural energy within the confines of your home. There’s something so cozy and inviting about natural textures, you can’t help but feel drawn.
Although most people do acknowledge the importance of colour from a home decor standpoint, not everyone appreciates the need for texture. Whatever the theme or style of your design, texture aids nuance. Without it, even rooms filled with the most lavish and eye-catching furniture can fall flat.
A Little Layering Goes a Long Way
Rather than playing it simple with one centralized source of light, 2022 is all about bringing back layered lighting and the resurgence of abundance. And while it may sound like a lot of brightness coming your way, wait till you see how it serves as the perfect layout for small and large spaces alike.
Not to mention, adding layers of various lighting sources to allow versatility will definitely add depth and personality to your space. Whether it’s little lighting fixtures or quirky statement pieces, these accents help take your home decor look to the next level.
When picking out your new lighting fixtures, don’t feel any pressure to choose a specific style. The best lighting design is one that resonates with you and one that you believe fits in perfectly with the tone you’re looking to set for your home.
Just remember that although your fixtures are inherently different, they need to work together. Always balance out the masculine and feminine vibe with a play on textures and prints. But most important of all, don’t forget to have fun with it!
