5 Year of the Earth Pig Lighting Trends

 

Have you ever come to a point in your interior designing efforts when you changed the lighting fixture and you ended up revitalizing the overall look of your home? If you have yet to try this, then why procrastinate?

 

The year 2019 is the Year of the Earth Pig and it is an awesome year to do a lot of auspicious things in your home. An easy lighting update could just be the update that your tired-looking home needs.

 

In the past few years, you have probably seen some common themes of statements and sustainability that are being embraced in many lighting choices. These trends are continuing through to 2019 and they will even be elevated to the most innovative designs.

 

The Green Design

 

At the very top of the lighting trends are the eco-friendly lighting designs. The huge cut down on the carbon footprint equates to savings for many homeowners. There are now many choices for energy-saving light bulbs. There are also various ways to upcycle the eco-friendly lighting designs.

 

There is no doubt that the climate change has greatly affected every part of the world whether in bush fires or flash floods. One of the easiest eco-friendly ways to begin green living is to choose your lighting properly.

 

And don’t just introduce green lighting but also bring a touch of greenery to stay on the eco-friendly vibe at all times.

 

The Natural Design

 

Apart from the green fixture options, also trending are the natural materials used in lighting such as bamboo, wood, and woven fixtures. These may be simple designs but they remain to be one of the leading staple lighting features for this year.

 

If you have yet to alter the lighting in your home, then this trend will fit you right into the Boho style.

 

The Industrial Design

 

If natural materials don’t make you swoon, then that’s alright. Industrial style is also quite hot this year. It was one of the leading trends from last year which is still hot, hot, hot this year.

 

Don’t be intimidated by the oft-metallic look that industrial style offers. This is actually a fun trend once you get how to use it for your new designs. For instance, what used to be barn lights that were solely used outdoors are now quite stylish when used inside the dining room.

 

Metallic Is Hip

 

Metallic finish is the go-to style for both the minimalist and modern homes. You can add this style for this year. This is especially useful for those who are considering selling their houses the following year.

 

You will never go wrong with the metallic lighting fixtures. Chrome can freshen up a room whereas gold and brass are your sophistication tones.

 

Accent Lighting Is Drama

 

Of course, not every room in your home needs a new ceiling light this year. You can still change the overall look of any space when you know how to pick from the most popular accent lights in the market.

 

The right accent light can effectively guide the eye towards the highlighted object or architectural part of a home. An accent light is indispensible to a home that wants to emphasize a focal point.

 

Away with Old Trends

 

The Year of the Earth Pig begs to have all old trends pushed aside. Built-in bulbs often present a problem – when the LED light fails, the whole fixture tends to become useless. This is far from eco-friendly so it is time to search for those that have replaceable eco bulbs.

 

Cost of Lighting

 

There are many ways to save on the installation of your trendy lighting fixture. Of course, you need to set aside a budget especially for this. The average cost, though, is $421 for a small fixture.

 

You can spend anywhere from this amount to almost $400.
