When searching for the best interior lights for your house, it is good to look at the currently trending pieces to get the best idea on what will truly give a modern and trendy look to the home, look at some of the suggestions we have for you below!
Mid-century modern covers several decades of simple yet elegant style. It is a trend that is not going to go away anytime soon.
The mid 20th century was an iconic style era for interiors. Whether you want to fully immerse yourself in the style with furniture and decor or just dip your toe in, our lighting designs can help you achieve the desired effect.
With ways to add a pop of colour to your industrial style living space or a piece of art in the form of a fabulous floor lamp, this trend is certainly one that can suit all tastes.
Clean curves, bold designs or natural shapes are all part of this style. Whether you want to incorporate your light into the design of the room and have it blend in or add a pop of colour to make it stand out, our pendant lights are the perfect solution. A bold single pendant light may be what you want or if you have the space, maybe consider adding a row of suspension pendant lights.
Arc floor lamps make a beautiful feature in the corner of a living room to create an ambient reading area. Whereas a tripod floor lamp may fill a space in a hallway creating a great artistic piece.
A bedroom may benefit from the organic curved table lamp placed on a bedside table to create a luxurious hotel boudoir feel.
Although part of the mid-century design period, the art deco designs are more angular and sharp than the ergonomic curves of the rest of the era.
A strong geometric pendant light would make a great centrepiece for any room in the house where you want to add that art deco feel.
What 2018 has brought forth from all designs, however, is a more fun and relaxed aspect to the design. The lighting is more of a piece of functional art creating a focal point in the room.
The modern twist on industrial lighting may still incorporate the rustic finishes and neutral colours of the original designs but are now much more sleek.
Metals are more rich and varied in their tones, think about the finish being more smooth and stylish than the original industrial styles, having undergone a makeover to make it less harsh.
The fixtures themselves are now considered more of a piece of art bringing a room together. Whether this is through unique designed wall lights or a decorative centrepiece above your dining area, there are lighting solutions to suit all areas.
This mid-century modern updated industrial style suits the 21 st century home interior design beautifully.
In contrast to the bright colours and polished metals of the mid-century designs, another interior lighting trend we see this year is soft gold fittings.
With a move towards various gentle toned colours as a trend for decor, these soft metallic finished lights are a way to perfectly bring a room together.
Using warm pendant lights for a natural glow or lighting a dark corner with a floor or table lamp with the matte finish of this soft gold is going to help finish off the mellow feel of your room.
Whatever design you choose, it is important to think of the function of the lighting as well as the feel of the atmosphere you are trying to create. A kitchen will require quite different lighting, for example, to a bedroom. We are sure that you will find the lighting solution to suit your design and taste within our range.
Hi Light readers! Today I am bringing you an info bite on a retro piece that is becoming very popular in the industry lately, I am of course speaking of Vintage LED Bulbs! Very fashionable for both home and commercial use, these bulbs make use of advanced LED technology to have the old-fashioned vintage style and the soft warm glow it gives out without the painful cost of operating a traditional incandescent bulb.
Owing to their retro vibe, these bulbs are an interesting addition to spice up plain walls or basic fixtures. Their warm glow is perfect for showing off the bare bulb, we find its very effective especially in pendants.
These bulbs are heavily reminiscent of the classic Edison style bulbs used in the 20th century. Whilst they were unapologetically inefficient in an incandescent style, the all new LED are perfect for a low cost yet traditional appeal.
With led bulbs increasing in popularity in the last 5 years, ranges of increasingly popular designs have been made available. In the present these retro styled bulbs can be bought in many different shapes and sizes such as; candle, flame tipped and globe, running them is the equivalent of a tenth of the energy it takes to run an incandescent.
We at Sherwood Lighting have a selection for ranges in this ourselves, feel free to take a look!
Hi Light Readers! I come to you today with a light thought that has hit all of us in the store, and I wanted to bring you in on the discussion. As you may (or may not) know, the industry is ever changing with its trends and popularity in different finishes; this season copper has been the big in colour featured quite heavily within the industrial and retro settings, and has worked especially well for kitchens, dining rooms and even bedroom set pieces. So, what is the new in colour???
Well, here at Sherwood Lighting we believe that gold is going to revitalise this seasons décor.  Gold is very much a statement colour that works well in large and spacious settings that brings alternative look to a variety of areas.
A particular favourite of mine would have to be this pendant, great for large living rooms or landings/stairwells, this brings a lovely contemporary taste to these settings. This 12 light features a super sleek, matt black frame that encapsulates a soft gold chandelier with faceted glass sconces. Matched with LED flame-tipped bulbs and this light truly shines.
We have seen that several lighting manufacturers have switched to this gold effect for a lot of their larger decorative fittings coming into this latest season, and we can certainly attest to it being a popular trend! Many are buying these golden fittings to spice up their living space and we think that it would be a good addition to a lot of yours, too! Here is some of our other favourite gold ranges if you want to get a taste of what you may expect:
I hope you enjoyed this light thought, keep tuned for the latest trends.
