Bold Oversized Pendants and Chandeliers
This year the lighting trends have been bigger and better than ever! The latest in home design is oversized statement lighting, from massive chandeliers in the bedroom to beautiful oversized pendants over the kitchen island.
So what exactly is statement lighting? It is any light fixture that will grab the attention of someone in your home. It is bold and unique and can include a different finish, texture, shape, or size that will draw the viewer's eye. It is perfect for bringing that wow factor into your home and creates an instant focal point. Natural and raw textures are becoming popular in the lighting world so don't be afraid to choose something different.
The key to statement lighting is to have the fixture look different in some way so it draws the viewer's eye and creates a contrast. Here are a few examples of unique materials that are being used for statement lighting: leather, concrete, twine, fabric shades, hammered materials, or even coconut shells. Using something like a basket shade made from twine can add the perfect boho look to your home!
When picking out fixtures that you would like to make the focal point of your space, be sure that your space will complement the style of the light. Making your lighting bold doesn't mean it has to be a unique finish or oversized, you can accomplish the statement look by mixing and matching design styles that will add depth to the space. Some variations can be striking to the eye and create a great conversation starter for guests. You can achieve this look in many ways but some manufacturers make it easy! Alora introduced metal and leather fixtures which helps create a variety in texture or Hudson mixing bohemian and modern for anyone looking to combine two styles.
Chandeliers are typically the most popular choice for a statement light. If you are looking for a way to make a statement in your home but don’t know where to start, chandeliers are a very easy route to take. However, you can make a statement using any type of lighting such as pendants, large semi-flush fixtures, exterior lighting, fans, or even lamps.
Kitchen pendants are a great way to utilize statement lighting and bring some personality into your home. You can do this by choosing a fixture that dominates the space. However, using oversized lights can sometimes overwhelm the space so it is important to understand the space you have to work with. Oversized pendants are typically used in rooms with open floor plans, high ceilings, larger islands, or vaulted ceilings.
Lighting is the finishing touch of the home and it can really bring all of the design elements together. Lighting has the capacity to change the way any home looks, and its purpose is to make an impact. Oversized lighting is an effective way to add a dramatic element into your home. It can enhance the personality of your home and make it more you so don’t be afraid to explore!
