Grouped pendant displays
When it comes to pendant lighting – the more the merrier. A large entertainment island is one of the top priorities for today’s homeowners. A popular way to highlight this area is to cluster multiple mini-pendants above the island. Mix and match styles and finishes at differing heights for a contemporary feel. Or, line the island with the same size and style for a simple, clean-lined approach.
Clear glass with exposed sources
Another trend noted by Progress Lighting design experts is the use of fixtures featuring clear glass and an exposed light source. These designs pair beautifully with bright, white cabinets, creating a fresh and lively atmosphere.
Minimalist design
Kitchens and baths with clean lines, minimal ornamentation and easy maintenance are high on the list for customers. Simplified lighting with modest features contributes to this popular style of design.
Glamorous lighting
Unexpected, elegant fixtures are making their way into kitchen and bath design. Designers and architects are choosing fancier lighting additions, adorned with beads, bobeches and crystals, contributing to the luxurious feel of the space.
Energy efficient options
A shift toward more efficient lighting technologies allows consumers to make subtle energy saving changes in the kitchen or bath. LED and CFL lamps play a big role because they can pay for themselves through energy and maintenance savings, while providing aesthetically pleasing lighting.
