or something so integral to our homes, lighting is often not talked about in the same way decor or other foundational elements of a room are, and in some cases, it’s altogether neglected. The fixtures a house comes with might suffice, but it’s hard to argue that a sleek pendant or an on-theme chandelier can’t beat the infamous flushmounted ceiling lights or basic recessed lights found in most homes. In 2022, lighting trends are looking more brilliant than ever and there is something for everyone and every room, from flashy, in-your-face chandeliers to subtle lamps and bulbs that gently envelop a room in light. Here’s how experts are visualizing these trends and key takeaways for actually incorporating them into your own space.

OVERSIZED AND THE CENTER OF ATTENTION Lighting is a surefire way to make a space feel new again.

Adding an oversized fixture is a great, affordable refresh to a room or entryway that will be noticed by guests right away. Chandeliers are no longer just reserved for dining rooms or for hovering over a foyer, there can be a space for them in a variety of different settings. It’s just a matter of picking out a fitting selection.

LINEAR LIGHTING Long lines and simplified silhouettes will be replacing more intricate and complicated designs. Though ornate chandeliers and bolder options still have their place, a simplified look is a refreshing change that many may be searching out. Linear lighting also offers the perfect scale for dining rooms with rectangular tables or kitchen islands with one pendant light. In addition, linear lights provide a more seamless look as they require one lighting fixture to complete a space.

UNEXPECTED MATCHES Some styles, no matter how different, are a harmonious match when paired together.

For example, more timeless silhouettes are being created with modern finishes and materials when it comes to lighting trends in 2022. This is even a great solution for indecisive decorators who can’t choose between two (or more) looks.

LAYERING LIGHTS Rather than relying on one source of light, it’s about bringing back the look of layered lighting and will see a resurgence of incorporating multiple fixtures in a room.

And while it may sound like a lot of lights, it’s a perfect layout for large spaces like living rooms where lamps and overhead lights play important roles for different situations. For instance, the chandelier may be the accent lighting in a space, but adding layers of various lighting sources to allow versatility will add depth. This can include recessed lighting, directional art lighting, wall sconces, and accent lamps. Installing dimmer switches and separate controls for each source can allow for a wide variety of moods.

“Lighting is a surefire way to make a space feel new again.”

FUN LITTLE TOUCHES Unique and fun finishes have become very popular. Metal like bronze, gold or nickel adds an elegant yet industrial component to the room.

Also having fun with the light bulbs is a great way to change the look of a fixture. Spiral filament, flame tip, or even colored bulbs are a fun way to spice up lighting fixtures you may not want to replace fully.

This is a fantastic solution for adapting the same lamp or chandelier to different rooms’ themes.

NATURAL AND RAW TEXTURES Calming spaces more often than not feature some kind of natural texture or theme running through them, and it makes sense. Nature and outdoor areas can be the most rejuvenating places to spend time in. Organic elements like rattan, wooden beads, wood materials, and natural textures are a trend that give the room a boho chic look. You can incorporate these types of fixtures in almost any room, including kitchens entryways, living spaces, bathrooms, and more.

SUBTLE AND GENTLE LIGHTING On one end of the spectrum sits statement lights, but on the other are those gentle fixtures that blend into a room, diffusing it with a subtle light that still makes a drastic difference in the atmosphere and overall look. Light, open, and airy is how we want to live now, and having a great light fixture is the way to accomplish that, but one that almost disappears into the space to make way for other important design elements, like art or textiles.

ROOM-SPECIFIC LIGHTING Lighting can be difficult to get right, but the trick is going room by room.

Compartmentalizing rooms makes it easier to shop for lighting and allows a place like the living room or guest bedroom to be outfitted with light fixtures that match their respective color palettes or themes. You are seeing a lot of seamless integration of lighting that works well with the design of each room. For instance, if you have a coastal vibe going, then perhaps a rattan lamp or simple glass pendants will be the best fit, vs if you have a more traditional space, then you might want to go with sconces or flush mounts. The most important thing is to have fun with it, and make it your own.
