Whether you are the kind of person who likes overhead lighting on at all times or you prefer a dimmer option by using only a few lamps, the right light fixture can make or break a room. Light fixtures can sometimes be one of the parts of a home renovation or small home refresh that gets forgotten about. No worries, you won’t forget about the lighting after you see the expected lighting trends of 2024.
Polished finishes, natural materials, and retro styles are a few of the trends that we are expected to see in lighting in the new year. The most popular finish and color of light fixtures is always changing. Whether it’s silver or brass, matte or shiny, every year's trends seem to be different. This coming year polished fixtures have been expected to be the more popular choice over matte fixtures. If you prefer silver over gold or black over brass, shiny fixtures are the way to go with lighting in 2024, no matter the color.
Natural materials and soft lines is another way to go with lighting in 2024. Bringing the outdoors in has been gaining more and more popularity over the years as the push for sustainability expands. People are starting to prefer organic and handcrafted shapes instead of factory finishes and sharp edges. Looking for fixtures that highlight natural materials like rattan or raffia, different types of wood, or even twine. Adding these materials to your home through a light fixture will create a softer space instead of dark metals that are often the materials used in light fixtures.
If adding bold and unique elements to your space is up your alley, this trend will be perfect for your dining area or any other place you think a chandelier should be. Bold chandeliers are still gaining popularity and are expected to rise in popularity next year. 2024 is expected to see even more abstract shapes of chandeliers. The style of these trending chandeliers may be different than what’s hanging in your house or maybe your parents house. Traditional style chandeliers are not what is currently trending. Cool shapes and fun styles are trending for chandeliers. With shapes inspired by art and sculptures, a unique chandelier is the right choice for your next light fixture.
Trends move in circles. What was once popular years and years ago often becomes popular again. Have you noticed brass is becoming all the rage again? Retro style light fixtures are set to gain popularity. These retro pieces have become more popular from the increased interest in creating timeless spaces with design. One specific retro style that is increasingly popular is the use of milk glass. You may only think of milk glass when it comes to vases for your floral arrangements but finding light fixtures that utilize milk glass will also create a timeless look in your space. The 1950s has many style elements that are making an appearance in different parts of the home, milk glass in lighting is just one of them.
