2022 Trends: Bold and Bright Upgrades for Your Lighting

When decorating a space, you may not think of good lighting as your top priority. However, lighting can make or break your space and be the difference between good design and great design. Many interior designers agree that lighting is the most important feature of a well-designed room.  
 

You’re in luck, because our team at Axiom Power has compiled a list of the top lighting trends for the upcoming year that are sure to make your space shine! 



Trend #1 - Natural Materials Meet Lighting Fixtures 

Using sustainable and natural materials is a trend that is here to stay. As we shift into a more eco-conscious age, many designers are discovering ways to incorporate eco-friendly materials into their creations. Lighting is certainly no exception. 
 

Natural materials, including wood, glass, bamboo, fabric, seagrass, leather, and paper have been more heavily relied on in recent years, and this doesn’t plan to change any time soon. As we roll into 2022, expect to see the continued use of these natural “ingredients” plus greater use of twine, rope, burlap, and wood beads.  

New lighting won’t only be made of natural materials but will also be inspired by the Earth’s elements. Picture fixtures that take the form of trees, pendants decorated with graceful leaves floating in the wind, and chandeliers with water droplet beads of glass.  

In need of a reliable team to install all of those new fancy fixtures? Our team at Axiom Power has the skills you need! Call (813) 308-9328 today! 

Natural materials, such as rope and wooden beads, will inspire more sustainable lighting fixtures for an eco-friendly glow. 

Trend #2 - Warmer Lighting and Smarter Tech  

In addition to environmentally friendly materials, new lighting tech is also joining the race towards sustainability with smart bulbs gaining more popularity.  

Smart bulbs are the easiest way to transform your home into a “smart house” with the ability to have complete control over the ambiance of your space. The ability to adjust the color temperature of your bulb can have a dramatic impact on your productivity and circadian rhythms. Selecting a cool white during the day can help you stay attentive and focused while warming it up at night can help you relax and unwind after a long day.  
 

You can even schedule when your lighting turns on and off using a smart phone app, saving energy, time, and money; smart home features are the future!

Trend #3 – Lighting's The Center of Attention (As it should be.) 

Rather than being simply functional, lighting will become the design focus of a space in 2022. Ceilings have been ignored and under-decorated for far too long, but that will change this year. 

Chandeliers 

Chandeliers have the power to capture attention. With minimal decor for most of the room, a big, bold designer chandelier can be both functional and act as an art installation.  

Linear Pendants 

Like a luxurious chandelier, linear pendants can draw the eye upward as a center-piece for a room. They can create a beautiful statement over kitchen islands, dining tables, coffee tables, entry ways, and in the bedroom on either side of the bed. The opportunities for style and unique beauty are endless! 
 

Bubble Hanging Spheres 
 

While the bubble lighting trend isn’t new, it will continue growing throughout designer collections in 2022. Ball lights can be made of countless materials, including hand-blown glass, stainless steel, and recycled cardboard. They can be transparent, translucent, or opaque depending on the style you want to achieve.  

Chandeliers, cascading lights, groupings of multiple lights, and floor lamps are all impactful ways to utilize the bubble light.  

Bubble Lighting and its variety of playful yet mature stylings are here to stay in 2022. 

Trend #4 - Black & Brass Fixtures 

Matte black finishes have been trending for several years and plans to hold their ground through 2022. The striking and bold impact of black lighting can blend well in any interior but also stand out as an accent item in a room full of white or cream fixtures. Several variations such as black stainless steel, satin black, flat black, and black iron are all classically beautiful versions of the black finish trend.  
 

To make an even greater impact, try mixing in some shades of brass for a luxurious lighting flavor. Like black, brass can be found in many beautiful tones such as antique brass, polished brass, satin brass, and weathered brass. This trend will look amazing in an array of styles from Victorian to Scandinavian.  

The juxtaposition of deep shadows and bright warmth from black and brass is sure to grow in popularity in 2022.  
 

Trend #5 - Bold Lamps for a Boost of Fun 

Bright colors and interesting shapes will continue to make their mark in 2022. An artful and exquisitely designed lamp pops as a statement without even needing to be turned on.  

The cone-shaped empire shade from the 80s is reliving its time on the center stage with its funky shape. Combine a black empire shade with a brass base for a glamorous reading nook floor lamp. 

The mushroom lamp can also be seen in design trends, with a different vibe depending on the color and styling. With all of these fun new colors to choose from, remember that bright hues look delightful against warm woods and neutral tones.
