Lighting is blazing a bright trail in 2017! Certain features stand out from the rest, such as geometric shapes, embossed textures, raw materials and optical effects. They pair easily with a host of decorative styles and will lend character and sought-after uniqueness to your design.
Update: see the trends blog 2018
Iridescence:
Iridescence, also known as goniochromism, is a property of certain surfaces that appear to change colour according to the viewer’s perspective or the lighting. Our manufacturers have decided to add iridescent accents to some of their new products for 2017. Their oil-over-metal look recalls the colours that appear in gasoline under the sun and give the impression of movement. Some iridescent light fixtures also look like the inside of pastel-coloured seashells. To ensure a balanced look, reserve this style for decors in which the walls are texture-free and painted a neutral colour.
Geometry:
Geometric light fixtures are very popular in certain types of decor, most particularly modern ambiences. However, as they come in a wide variety of looks, they can be used in more contemporary settings as well as industrial or transitional decors. The structure of their lines recalls geometric shapes and have a neat presence that’s abstraction-free. You’ll find them in a host of shape and finish combinations. They can be used to light a large area since they present a fine structure set around the lighted base, so light gets diffused all around. It’s also relevant to specify that geometric shapes are timeless, so they don’t go out of style over time.
Raw materials:
Metal and wood are quite popular in many interior decoration spheres. Metal works well with contemporary, modern and industrial concepts. If this is the look you want, you’re in luck, as a host of light fixtures that marry wood and metal are available on the market. The solid and rustic look they create are of neutral colour and integrate easily into your decor. These light designs last a long time as they’re made with durable materials. Metal and wood light designs are suitable for any room in the house since they are available as pendant, ceiling and wall lights.
Textures:
2017 has also heralded the arrival of lights that feature striking textures. You’ll find this type of relief mainly on glass elements, metal lampshades or other rigid materials. This style of light lends character to a more neutral decor. It adds a textured element to the room and creates an attractive visual and decorative impact. These light fixtures are very fashionable this year. So, if you’re looking to follow the very latest trend, consider adding them to your lighting scheme!
