Interior lighting, and especially living room lighting, is shaping up to be full of statement lighting fixtures. We're seeing bold structural shapes coupled with industrial styles - strong lines and metallic surfaces. This industrial look is being softened with other modern-vintage styles - art deco and 1920s vibes but made modern. There's the other end of the scale, too, with less industrial more modern-art abstract lighting. Neon and argon lighting is back in! These trends have informed our new lighting collection.

Breaking Down These Trends for Living Room Lighting Ideas

How can we take those trends and make them everyday liveable ideas? Let's take a look...

Trend 1 : Glamorous High-Luxury Vamp Crystal Lighting

As far as lighting trends go, this one is dripping in diamonds, dahhling. Or, let’s be more realistic, sparkly cut class. A modern twist on the classic crystal chandelier that fits in with the current high-luxe maximalist trend. Sia sang it best, although we wouldn’t necessarily recommend swinging from your living room lights… unless you want to give your neighbours something to talk about! Create this living room lighting idea with our "Meteor" lighting range.

A statement modern chandelier is all about high drama and big impact with lots of sparkle and glitz. Our Meteor lights are just the thing to add some sparkle, glitz and glam to your room. Their cut glass rods and crystal beads will refract and bounce light all around the room, looking equally dazzling in the glamorous evenings as in the bright sunshine.

Trend 2 : Modern Industrial

You can achieve the Modern Industrial lighting trend with these living room lighting ideas. This trend is all about exposed filaments, softly glowing bulbs, smoked glass, black metal and dark wood – atmospheric jazz bar vibes that would work beautifully with some exposed brickwork, some dark leather, or wooden countertops.

Our Deco, Orbit, City, Nebula, Aurora, Edison and Comet lights all fit the bill. Sleek, chic and a little bit sexy.

Trend 3: Modern Vintage

Give your living room a touch of that old Hollywood Glamour with the modern meets vintage spotlight uplite lamps, table lamps and ceiling lights. That same turn of the century industrial vibe but softer and a little more glam.

Our Hollywood, Christie and Deco ranges are perfect for this. Diffuse light, soft glows, and elegant 1920s inspired charm.

Trend 4: Modern Architectural

The last lighting trend on our list is the Modern Architectural look. This trend is all about using your lighting as an eye-catching centrepiece. Think big, bold, modern art-inspired structural designs that add shape and dimension to your space. We think our Nova, Orbit and Nebula ranges give your that strong structural look. Our Spiral and Infinity lamps are a great way to bring a neon modern art touch to your living room while still keeping it classy and everyday.
