For a lot of renovators, choosing effective and innovative lighting isn’t on the top of the list of priorities. But anyone who has been in a newly designed room lit with the latest trends can attest to the difference it makes.
This year we are seeing interesting innovations in lighting fashion. The designs that are in style at the moment could take your next home gathering to a new level – allowing your home to shine in more ways than one.
Track and cabinet lighting, copper fixtures, chandeliers as well as oversized or vintage pendant lighting are all very popular right now. Stand out from the crowd and contact our friendly team at Everest Electrical now to discuss the installation of your dream lighting renovations.
Track Lighting
Invented in the eighties, track lighting was once unaffordable to most, thankfully this is not the case anymore. The creativeness of the tracks themselves are also changing and evolving while continuing to improve. There are now curved, monorail and circular designs available which can create a sophisticated ambience.
This lighting feature is great as it allows modifications which enable versatility and contemporary style in the accent or ambience of a room.
Cabinet Lighting
Another type of lighting that is almost only limited by your imagination is lighting above and under cabinets. In rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms, cabinets can be modified to include different types of lights, including rope lighting and LEDs. These lights can have motion triggered switches – meaning no more dark cornered cabinets or searching through dimly lit drawers, plus an understated elegance.
Copper Fixtures
In terms of lighting trends, 2015 may be the year for warm-toned metals like gold, brass and copper. Particularly in season is copper with its classic vibrancy. This metallic effect can be incorporated into lamps, sconces and pendant lights. The lifting of a room with such a simple feature can turns heads.
Chandeliers
Lighting from chandeliers has historically been a particularly lavish and elegant decorative feature. Mounted in the typical style with rolling branches, they were a sign of prosperity while being highly functional.
Today however there is seemingly a chandelier to complement the whim of even the most imaginative renovator. Using materials like ceramics, glass and even plastic allows a seemingly endless amount of finishes. If you’re going for that extra touch of sparkle there are even luxury chandeliers crafted from crystal.
Vintage Pendant Lighting
Pendant lights have become very popular in recent years, and in particular the vintage style. They are found in a wide range of finishes suiting any décor. They have a great ability to highlight a room’s feature element or alternately direct the mood in a subtle way adding to the ambience.
Arranged in a row above a dining table, for example, is a fantastic way to set a bold tone for dining. Or, on the other hand, pendant lights sighted lower and installed with a dimmer switch can add a much more intimate atmosphere: perfect for a cosy dinner or two.
