Bigger is definitely better when it comes to your 2020 lighting scheme, the trend is for big, brave, bold pieces. The aim is to create a “Wow” factor and attract instant attention, more than lighting, these fixtures act as centrepieces. You can balance these large pieces with smaller fixtures around the room to create a nice overall look. But what works in the living room will not necessarily work in the kitchen or the bedroom.
It’s safe to say that there is an underlying trend for clean, unfussy and pared-back designs. The lighting has to reflect the functions and feel of each space. Like any other part of interior décor, lighting design keeps evolving. Technology is one reason for these changes. As manufacturers come up with advanced fixtures and bulbs, trends change and to keep your home updated you have to incorporate them into your homes.

Upholstery and oversized cone-shaped fabric pendant in light shades have a dramatic effect.

Look out for off-centre asymmetric designs, metallic cages and sharp angles. fabrics and upholstery. And now it is moving into luxury lighting, with a whole range of fun and quirky lamps, pendants and even chandeliers, based on big, bold botanicals. They both emphasize on clean lines, unique designs and a balance of form and art. Art Deco lighting focuses on sharp lines and attractive geometric designs.

Another lighting trend is for more swirling, free-form shapes. There is no symmetry here but designs are still bold and eye-catching. Twisted metals and sculpted ceramics give fabulous freedom, particularly with floor and table lamps. Filament bulbs, tubes and pipework may still be exposed but styling is more delicate and finishes are sleeker and more luxurious. The rounded cone shape makes the bulbs especially homey and perfect for areas like the living area and kitchen
Timeless Statement
Glamour is becoming just a little bit more subtle and understated. It’s time to look out for natural materials, and the world of lighting will be made easier. In practice, this means a wonderful selection of glass, metal, marble, stone and wood. They are unique in the way they can reflect and bounce light around a room. Combine these with lush linen shades, and you have an on-trend masterpiece. Choose bold natural sconces as a design feature and don’t let them fade into the background.
The New Popular Finish
While all-out gold lighting may be on the back burner, combine the gold with a simple monochrome scheme of either black or white and it brings your lighting back on-trend. Again, it brings an air of subtlety whilst retaining gold’s guaranteed glamour. It borrows the soft matte finish of these two hues while bringing out the warmth and mellowness of gold. This also means that it can blend in with almost any kind of décor from modern urban to country.
