Goodbye old boring shades, hello statement lighting!  Let’s look at some of the most popular choices on the market today, that with a bit of ingenuity and thought can give your room and house the cutting edge.

1. Geometric lighting

Geometric designs work well in bringing order to a space. It creates an artistic element whilst also making a room appear more structured.

2. Industrial lighting

Industrial features introduce a ‘hip’ feel when installed in a workplace, cafe or home setting. Industrial lighting is becoming more and more common with the rise of tech companies and modern design homes. They are a throwback to the 19th and 20th centuries, where this rustic style today is seen as a gem from the past. Industrial lighting today oozes vintage flair and will be a focal point for every room, irrespective of size or shape.

3. Bamboo lighting

This lighting style is very soft and welcoming which is amazing for a tropical inspired room design. The bamboo mixes well with Moroccan home decor with fringe and pastel paint colours. It also works so well, because you can control the direction of light coming into a room by adjusting its direction. It works great with soft and warm lights. This lighting is ideal for a bohemian style relaxed home, where it will provide an interesting focal point, in tune with the rest of the home’s style and  environment.

6. Art deco lighting

Art Deco looks to cover the period from the 1920’s to the 1970's; it is also about visually sharp clean lines with unique designs that illustrate a blend of form and art. It has a similar vein to Mid-Century Modern that is also arty but less structured where there is more of a laid back feel with a touch of humour and informality. This style of lighting almost has that shabby chic feel to it, without the wear and tear factor.

Lighting is one of our budget friendly renovation secrets because it is an amazing way to completely transform a space without breaking the bank. Lighting is often a reflection of the personality and taste of the home owners and allows one to present a visual tapestry of ideas that can be eye catching and innovating. Whether you choose one distinct lighting style or a go for a “mishmash” of ideas, then its uniqueness will be one of your home’s greatest attractions. You have the opportunity to break the mold and become a trendsetter, rather than just another trend follower.

Choose unique lighting to really make a decor statement and make the most of that particular space. Too many of us treat lighting as an afterthought, when decorating a room. Instead, make it foremost like many home designers do. It’s no crime to build your room around one of the most affordable yet effective features of the room. As Theo Richardson, the designer of LED lights for his company “Rich Brilliant Willing”, states: “The right light lifts the mood, inspires productivity and motivates us. At home, light enlivens the little things - our morning routines and the time we spend with friends.”

How very true and couldn’t be said any better; we embrace light almost like plants embrace the sun. This is why we always open the curtains or roll up the blinds in the morning to bring the outside in. It connects us with the day ahead as we begin to go about our usual business and activities!
