The right lighting can completely transform the mood of a room, bringing in warmth, creating focal points, or adding drama. Come with me as we discover some inventive ideas for light fixtures that will make your home truly glow.
1. Nature Motivated Styles
Use nature motivated lighting to bring the outdoors inside. My entryway features a fixture with leaf patterns that adds a refreshing and organic feel.
2. Simple Lines
Embrace simplicity with fixtures that feature simple forms and defined lines. With streamlined, understated lighting, my bedroom is a tranquil getaway.
3. Understated Style
Opt for understated fixtures that blend with your decor for a bit of style. The subtle hanging lights in my dining area create a sophisticated setting for dinner get togethers.
4. Staged Lighting
With staged lighting, you can achieve the perfect atmosphere. I use a mix of standing lights, table lamps, and ceiling fixtures to establish depth and dimension in my family room.
5. Enchanting Overhead Lights
A chandelier can truly be the centerpiece of any space, providing both an elegant touch and soft, all-around light. In my own dining area, a crystal chandelier with a vintage feel adds a bit of glamour and always sparks conversations during dinner gatherings.
6. Classic Era Rebirth
With retro inspired fixtures, revive classic era charm. I found a gorgeous sconce in the style of the 1920s for my hallway which brings a bit of nostalgia to the space.
7. Grouped Bulbs
Create an appealing visual display with grouped bulbs. In my entrance hall, a grouping of small bulbs arranged at varying heights warmly welcomes visitors.
8. Factory Inspired Accents
Incorporate a factory inspired feel to your space with lighting that features metal accents and unshielded bulbs. I’m captivated by how my factory inspired lighting brings an urban sophisticated style into my more traditional family room.
9. Inviting Light Emitting Diodes
Use inviting light emitting diode lighting to establish an appealing atmosphere. I set up light emitting diode strips beneath my cooking area cabinets, which provide a soft glow that is ideal for evening get togethers.
10. Show Stopping Wall Sconces
Make a daring statement with artistic wall sconces. Now that I’ve added a pair of dramatic sconces to my family room, it has the feel of a stylish gallery.
11. Artistic Styles
Choose a fixture with an artistic style that also acts as a piece of art. In my family room, an angled light fixture is a central point and encourages conversation.
12. Unexpected Spots
Surprise your visitors with unexpected lighting spots. I love the effect of hanging lights hanging low above my bath, which establishes a spa like getaway.
13. Bright Accents
Add a burst of color with vibrantly colored fixtures. In my work space, vibrant red hanging lights energize the space and boost creativity.
14. Current Hanging Lights
For a refined and current appearance, consider using hanging lights above your cooking area’s central island. In my cooking area, I chose black painted hanging lights that focus the light perfectly and enhance the modern atmosphere.
15. Natural Textiles
Incorporate natural textiles such as wicker or rattan to create an inviting, organic style. I’ve used wicker hanging lights on my patio which allows them to blend perfectly with the surrounding foliage.
16. Varied Blend
Blend various styles to create a varied lighting arrangement. I enjoy blending classic era and current fixtures in my home to create a personalized and distinct look.
