The type of lighting you choose can have a profound impact on the mood, energy, and overall functionality of an entire room. From table lamps to chandeliers, popular lighting styles seek to find sophisticated, chic solutions that are as eye-catching as they are practical. Here, three lighting trends that have taken center stage in 2019 are discussed in more detail.

A Guide to 2019 Lighting Trends

1. Industrial Lighting

Industrial lighting can be both minimal and elegant, complementing the other design features in a room while also making statements on its own. Industrial lighting tends to be no-frills — metal bases and fixtures, bare bulbs, exposed wiring. But when paired with other colors in a room, the effect is softened, and you get something that is rustic yet refined. For industrial table lamps, choose shades in warm colors. For hanging fixtures, polish the metal to a shine or choose a painted metal in an earthy tone.

2. Mid-Century Designs

Mid-century lighting draws inspiration from styles popular throughout the 1920s to the 1950s. The emphasis here is on unusual shapes, such as geometric patterns, atomic designs, and sputnik chandeliers, as well as table lamps with dramatic bases and oversized shades. Mid-century lighting is versatile, too. It's tasteful enough for the most formal living space and playful enough for a relaxed family room or even playroom.

3. Sculptural Lighting Fixtures

Sculptural fixtures are an artistic way to infuse any room with dramatic flair. With Edison lightbulbs, the bulbs themselves are the stars; they are large and clear and offer a view of the illuminated filaments inside. Hanging pendant or teardrop-shaped fixtures are also bold options that can become the focal points of any space.

The most crucial design trend of any year is to follow your own sense of style and comfort.
