Week 5 Trend

What has been catching my attention lately, are light fixtures and how they placed in a room. "The correct light fixture can add personality to a space and pull the entire room together." One of the new trends is Sculptural Lighting, which can add a unique statement to the room. Sculptural lighting can also be a form a art. Another trend seems to be Refined Rustic lighting, which has an "eclectic combination." I think that anything Rustic, whether it is a piece of furniture or lighting adds character to the room. Another trend are Crystal lights, whether it be a chandelier or just a single statement piece. Crystal lighting "is often associated with expensive, traditional luxury design." I think that a crystal chandelier is very classy and can pull a room such as a dining room together perfectly, it adds the perfect finishing touch. As far as lighting for the kitchen goes, Layered Lighting seems to be a new trend as well. People are starting to want bigger and bigger kitchens, allowing for there to be more light, so layered lighting ends up being the solution. Layered lighting is classified as "under cabinet LED lights, pendants, recessed lighting, track lighting, and wall sconces combined to create a layered, flexible lighting scheme." These are just a few of the trends that grabbed my attention that are used for lighting in 2013.
