With exciting home decor trends making waves, it’s only fair we look at the lighting trends for 2024. After all, no home design is complete without lighting. To get your lighting equation spot on, you will have to step up your game. To cut to the chase, we will discuss six lighting trends pandits swear by.
It can be the style, the material, or the placement, you need to get your facts right before taking the plunge. So, what’s in store for you? And more importantly, how do you make it blend in your decor? Let’s find out.
1. Move over matte, high-polish is here!
Be it your matte lipstick or your matte fixture, this dullness needs a pep with some gloss. So it’s time to glam up your home with shiny silver, gold, and black light fittings. The difference is remarkable. And, you will be amazed to see how something that excited you a few years back suddenly loses its sheen, or matte in this case! When you pair sheen with size, things start happening in your design. So, be daring, be bold. A few high-polish metal centerpieces on the coffee table will complete this gorgeous look.
2. Vintage and retro appeal
This lighting trend was there last year and the charm hasn’t quite worn off. You will see a lot of this in the coming year as well. It’s all about evoking nostalgia and timelessness into your decor. This is not to say you go hunting for old pieces, it’s about looking for new stuff with a retro vibe. To balance your look, you can add a vintage cabinet or a mirror to your space. A few artifacts will also do the job if your home is ultra-modern.
3. Go natural
Natural fixtures have been around for a while. Well, they are not going anywhere. This in essence means go for wood, leather, twine, or wickerwork fixtures to add a natural element to your design. And hey, don’t be afraid to splurge on this trend. With the focus on eco-friendly products, these items are here to stay. Small fittings can work. But why do small when you can do big? Don’t be afraid to go bold, the keyword this season.
4. Artistic chandeliers
Bold chandeliers made from metal or glass that are more sculpture pieces than light fittings will be the standout pieces in your decor. So, pick something in unique shapes and bold sizes that demonstrates the deft hand of the artist. You can browse the net, sure. But, seeing the actual fixture is a better idea as you get an idea about size and impact.
5. A touch of the wabi-sabi
If you are familiar with the wabi-sabi decor that gained popularity a while back, you will be familiar with the natural elements and earthy shades of this style. Incorporating these elements into your light fixtures may take some doing. However, with a bit of patience and some hard work, you can get your hands on amazing table lamps or chandeliers in this style.
6. Go the chrome and silver way
Be it furniture or light fittings, chrome and silver are making a comeback. This allows you to pick pendant lights and lamps in chrome. As matte finishes are on their way out, the shine of chrome is apt for your home as a style statement. Chrome pendant lights will give your kitchen island a stunning look. A quirky chandelier in this metal in your living room is the perfect way to complete a gorgeous design.
