Ideas for Stylish Home Lighting

Interior design trends change quickly, so it can be hard to stay current with the latest concepts. If you want to update the lighting in your home, check out these four ideas. There is a good chance that one of them will add a stylish appearance that complements the other decorative elements in your home.

Add Recessed Lighting in a Variety of Shapes

Most recessed lights have rectangular or circular shapes. Although they can be attractive, these designs are also a little boring. Instead of sticking to uniform and predictable shapes, you can get creative by introducing a variety of shapes to your home.

You can also make your lighting more diverse by using different sizes. Even if you plan to use common shapes, you can make them look more interesting by mixing small rectangles with larger ones. Installing them only takes slightly more effort, and you’ll get big results in return.

Use LED Lights That Can Change Color

Many of today’s LED lights have the ability to change color with the touch of a button. Depending on the type of bulbs that you buy, you could produce up to 16 million colors.

To get the most out of LED lighting, you’ll want to choose options that give you significant control over their color. The best designs connect to your smartphone or tablet so you can make subtle adjustments. Whether you’re hosting a dance party or having a romantic dinner at home, you can choose the perfect color for your evening.

LED lights do more than let you set the right mood for any day or night. They can also help you save money. LEDs use about 80 percent less electricity than incandescent lights. LEDs also can also last up to 25 times longer than incandescent bulbs. If you’re interested in using less electricity and saving money, then you should upgrade to LED lights.

Draw Inspiration From Nature

Smart interior designers draw a lot of inspiration from nature, so you’ll often find nature’s influence when you look at top-of-the-line lighting designs. Some companies make lamp stands, fixtures, and other items from natural materials such as wood and stone. Others use soft lighting that replicates the beauty of sunlight.

Whether you work with a designer or you do the job yourself, you can find plenty of great ideas for your home’s lighting by taking a stroll in the park.

Make a Statement With Oversized Fixtures
Several decades ago, affluent families prominently displayed large lighting fixtures in their homes. Chandeliers, for instance, showed that families had enough money to purchase elaborate decorations that made their houses unique.

Large fixtures went out of style for several decades, but they’re making a big comeback. Today, though, you probably won’t opt for a big, glittering chandelier. Modern designers usually take minimalistic approaches that emphasize the beauty of simplicity.

You have so many opportunities to make your home’s lighting more stylish that you should compare several concepts before deciding which one works best for you. With a little effort, you’ll discover a design that feels perfect for your house.
