If you’re planning to refresh your interiors this year, it’s a good idea to start by planning your lighting look. While it’s easy to get caught up in paint colours and furniture choices, lighting is the unsung hero of the interior design world, with your choice of lighting having a huge impact on the look, feel and functionality of the space. If you’re looking for inspiration, here are our hot tips on the six biggest lighting trends for 2022.

1. The Statement Piece

This trend is all about lighting taking centre stage, creating a dramatic focal point for your room. A bold and beautiful ceiling light such as a luxe antique chandelier, a driftwood pendant light or an elegant glass ceiling light can set the tone of the entire room, bringing together various design elements to form a cohesive look. Alternatively, an eye-catching sculptural table lamp can perform the dual function of table decoration and lighting and can be a great statement piece for your room.

2. The Minimalist Look

While a bold statement piece can be a good option for some rooms, on the other end of the spectrum, a chic minimalist look is also a big trend this year. Simple, symmetrical lighting in basic colours like white, grey and black can create a modern minimalist look that cleverly showcases and complements other design elements such as wall art, a statement rug or a boldly coloured couch. Try a row of restrained and elegant pendant lights over a benchtop or some cleverly placed minimalist floor lamps for a tasteful and refined look.

3. The Symmetrical Pair

Nothing creates a cohesive, high class look quite like symmetrical pairings, whether it be a piece of art complemented by an identical wall light on either side, or two side tables with matching lamps. For a classic look, choose a matching set of simple traditional wall lights or create a more fresh and modern look with a couple of scandi-style table lamps.

4. The Slimline Floor Lamp

Both highly functional and very fashionable this year, slimline metal floor lamps can be used to add a luxurious edge to an industrial look, particularly with the addition of a trendy Edison bulb. Black metal floor lamps, or floor lamps in bold coloured metal are a great option if you’re keen to try out this trend.

5. The Brass Fixture

Brass is definitely trending in the interiors world right now and lighting is no exception. Overhead lights, table lamps and floor lamps in brass can work well to offset colour pops of turquoise, emerald or grey, as well as adding another dimension to otherwise neutral palettes. Brass table lamps can be a great option for a study, while a bold, brass floor lamp can be a good addition to a living room and brass pendant lights can look fantastic over a kitchen bench or dining table.

6. The Boho Look

While the boho look has been in fashion for a while now, this trend isn’t going anywhere and natural materials are still a popular way to add warmth and style to your home. Lighting is a great way to add subtle boho touches without going over the top, and a rattan, bamboo or cane overhead light or even a natural timber feature light can help to create a relaxed yet stylish look that is perfect for holiday houses or beachside properties.
