There’s nothing like the refreshing upgrade provided by new light fixtures! Whether you’re decking out your space as part of a renovation or you’re on a tight budget and need a new look for less, updated fixtures have the power to transform your interior. We walk through rooms each day that feature basic lighting that rarely gets noticed. Imagine the design goodness created by a thoughtfully placed pendant light made of earthy materials, or sleek globe sconces on either side of the bed!
This type of change can breathe new life into your interior, creating a big impact for the mere cost of one item. Now that’s a change worth making! A new crop of options proves that light fixtures reflect today’s top design trends, from mixed materials to natural textures. As you browse options, start by asking yourself which colors, finishes and forms catch your eye. Keep reading for inspiration that ranges from powerful pendants to surface-mount fixtures:
Pendant Lighting
Pendant light fixtures are instant focal points. They can set the tone for the entire room by playing up one aspect of your overall aesthetic or reinforcing a design story already in play. Pendant light trends range from the woven to the minimalist. This Cannage Rattan Translucent Pendant Light is the epitome of earthy, breezy style:
The Knot – Glass & Hemp Rope Pendant Light features an amber finish. Bursting with elegant, delicate detail, the piece sets a whimsical, glamorous tone and can serve as the true focal point of any room it inhabits. It just might take your breath away:

Wall Sconces
There’s nothing like a pair of wall sconces to punctuate your space. One dramatic sconce in a key area of the room can also make a big impact. Even if you’re renting and are limited in the lighting changes you’re able to make, you can enjoy the beauty of a sconce or two, thanks to plug-in options that are easily removable on move-out day. Below we see Glass Sphere with a gold finish. A timeless form brings retro-modern style home:
Eclipse Designed Sconce is perfect in a pair. Try it in a favorite corner of the room, or on either side of a substantial piece of furniture.
As today’s post has shown, you don’t need to remodel in order to make a big change to your space. Sometimes all it takes is upgrading a functional element, such as lighting. Have fun browsing, and opt for a piece that takes your room in a new direction. When the line between light fixture and work of art is blurred by amazing design, there’s no reason why the addition of lighting fixtures can’t take your interior to new heights. Call it an instant upgrade! Happy shopping and thanks for reading.
