Having problems with lighting in some spots in your home? Whether it’s your work-from-home office space or the kitchen, places where you spend the majority of your time in need to be well-lit. But apart from function, modern light fixtures elevate the style of a room and can completely transform it into an inviting and comforting place.
Here are some designs for you to consider installing to brighten not just your home but your mood as well.
Modern light fixtures elevate the style of a room and can completely transform it into an inviting and comforting place.
1. Modern Pendants
Pendants are named so because they are suspended from the ceiling by a cord, rod, or chain. They’re great for any room, from the dining room to the kitchen, the bedroom or your home office. Depending on their height and style, they can provide more tactical lighting for task-oriented areas such as the kitchen, or a more subdued ambient lighting over at the dinner table or in the bedroom. When hung from the center of the ceiling, they create a relaxing atmosphere for the living room. You can also pair them with a dimmer to adjust the intensity of the light for work or relaxation.
2. Linear Suspension
Linear suspensions illuminate your home beautifully, allowing light to radiate throughout a space while having a tasteful and elegant fixture. They’re perfect for lighting areas where you work, such as wide kitchen counters, or areas where you play, such as over a pool or ping pong table. Whether lighting for work or play, linear suspension fixtures instantly make any room look longer and feel wider.
3. Flush mounts
Flush mounts are ideal lighting designs for low ceilings and hallways. They’re typically dome or drum shaped and fit around a light bulb directly on the ceiling, as opposed to the previous pendants and linear lighting which are suspended from the ceiling. And are also perfect for entryways or dining areas. Flush mounts are easy to install and because they’re less decorative, they seamlessly blend with any type of interior in your home and are great compliments to other accent lights.
4. Track Lighting
Track lighting was popular in the 80s but has since been modernized. It has multiple bulbs attached along a continuous track which contains electrical conductors. They’re great for illuminating shelves, wall art, or a hobby area. The individual lamps can be adjustable, dimmable, and overall provide both functional and ambient lighting depending on a room’s needs. If you have a craft room or a workshop in your home that is now your current work space, track lights are the ideal fixtures for these settings.
5. Recessed Lighting
A recessed light fixture is installed within a hollow opening on the ceiling, or on the walls, or even on the ground. They’re great for low ceilings and provide ambient lighting as well as accent lighting to highlight artwork or furniture, or when they’re on the ground, illuminating a pathway. They come in a variety of styles and can lend to the overall design of a space.
6. Monorail Lighting
Monorail is a versatile ceiling-mounted lighting solution. It’s a more modern and chic version of track lighting where it can accommodate both adjustable track heads or decorative pendants. They can be installed as one-circuit or two-circuit, with the second offering more dynamic lighting layers. You can customise the size and number of fixtures to what fits your needs, as long as your transformer is capable of handling the total wattage.
