Trendy Glamorous Ceiling Light Fixtures
One of the biggest trends in lighting in recent years is the use of glamourous, luxurious light fixtures. This trend goes almost entirely across the board from contemporary to traditional and everything in between. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean that you need to opt for chandeliers in every room. Here’s the low down on trendy, glamorous ceiling light fixtures.
Old World Glamour
Light fixtures that reflect an “old world” look are particularly trendy for 2012. Chandeliers are a perfect example of this, but only if you find the right look. You’ll want to opt for chandeliers and other ceiling fixtures that feature plenty of romantic lines, crystals, and beautiful scrollwork. With these light fixtures, you can actually choose just about any finish: silver, bronze, gold or brass tones. For this look, it is exactly that: the look, that you’re after. The finishes you choose should compliment your decor, so be picky.
Other light fixtures that are growing in popularity with the old world trend include wall sconces. Wall sconces that feature beautiful and ornate details, romantic lines and of course, crystals, are a perfect look for this particular trend.
Bright Hues
Surprisingly enough, if you blend the old world trend with a bright color, you get the next trendy look for this year. Chandeliers, wall sconces and even table lamps that feature bright colors for both the finish and the crystals are growing in popularity. They’re a great way to add visual interest and a pop of color to any given space in your home. You can use them in bedrooms, living rooms, even bathrooms and kitchens. They can even be used to create a focal point in a space where none exists.
Great colors to look for include tangerine, fuchsia or turquoise blue.
Drum Shade Light Fixtures
Glamorous does not necessarily translate to ornate, so keep this in mind. The simple but chic look of any light fixture with a drum shade is a great way to add glamour to any space in your home. You can find drum shades on chandeliers, wall sconces, table lamps, floor lamps and even flush and semi flush mount ceiling fixtures. Opt for clean colors with this trend, as a colored drum shade will actually look tacky and not trendy.
Lantern and Caged Light Fixtures
Light fixtures that take on the traditional lantern shape, or light fixtures that feature a cage design, are going to be especially trendy and when done right, they can be surprisingly glamourous. In fact, they can add a surprising touch of elegance to a contemporary space or they can liven up a rustic or industrial space. This trend is a bit more difficult to work with, so be confident in your choice.
Glamorous light fixtures are all the rage for 2012, as people are looking to add luxury back into their home spaces as the economy recovers. With that in mind, don’t forget to invest in light fixtures that you love but also in light fixtures that serve their purpose. After all, if your light fixture doesn’t light your space properly, it’s only been a waste of your time and money. Images 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
