Five Lighting Trends That Make a Statement
Bring your home to life with statement light fixtures from ROBINSON Lighting & Bath. From naturally woven materials to modern brass finishes, here’s how the newest lighting trends can elevate your space, plus we share expert lighting tips from designer, Nyla Free.
Pretty in Pairs
Perfect in larger spaces, adding two light fixtures can be better-looking than one! Inspired by classic Art Deco style, the Echelon pendant by Hinkley is a striking choice for any contemporary room. By choosing two above this dining table, they create a sculptural effect while its multiple tiers help emphasize the high ceiling.
Nyla’s Tips: “Great lighting adds to the impact and overall feeling of a room — it’s worth the splurge!”
Minimalist Shapes
The Djembé by Marset is a subtle yet substantial light fixture for modern spaces. With its unique stone-like exterior it fits beautifully in rooms that have natural elements like reclaimed wood, stone and neutral tones.
The simple bell shape is also designed for repetition, allowing you to get creative and combine a range of color and sizes for added interest.
Nyla’s Tips: “Light fixtures can be larger in scale that you might think. Go big – you won’t regret it!”
Bold in Gold
A satin gold light fixture can complement a room with warm wood accents, but can also be a showstopper in more colorful spaces. The Syrma by Tech Lighting is a mid-century modern pendant with a cool, geometric design that is sure to steal the spotlight in any living space.
Nyla’s Tips: “Sculptural lighting not only adds interest and shape to a room, but also creates a beautiful, visual play of light.”
Sculptural Spheres
A sculptural hanging fixture like the ModernRail Chandelier by Tech Lighting can fill a large space, especially above a long dining table. This helps create visual interest while adding balance and symmetry.
Nyla’s Tips: “Lighting should extend beyond function. I love adding a bold, sculptural moment to a living or dining room, and the ModernRail Chandelier embraces this scale with its beautiful frosted orbs and aged brass combination.”
Natural Materials
Natural textiles like rattan or rope adds warmth and an organic feel to a room. The Woodlawn pendant by Hudson Valley Lighting features woven rope paired with vintage gold leaf metal, injecting a casual elegance to any space.
Nyla’s Tips: “Bringing this classic, yet on-trend design detail into your lighting is a great way to bring your space up to date.”
