House
ust as important as choosing a sofa or any other piece of furniture, the choice of lighting can definitely enhance the look of your dream space.
Lighting is often overlooked, but paying attention to the way you illuminate your space and the chandeliers can be the difference you're waiting for to make an impression.
Lighting is part of any design project, and with a little investment you can elevate the result in your space to a visually striking look, I think that's what we all hope to achieve.
It's important
It's important to take into account the different ways in which we use the spaces in our home and how this changes throughout the day, as well as with the passing of the seasons.
A good combination of floor, table, wall and ceiling luminaires is ideal. This is what we call layered lighting, or stage lighting, because you can achieve different types of lighting in the same room.
Lighting can influence your mood, mood and performance (in the case of areas where we perform tasks). Functionality should be taken into account more than beauty.
So, for example, if you're doing chores in your living room and want to use a chandelier that's crafted but emits little light, looking for more intimate lighting, you could think about adding a floor or table lamp to make it easier for you to do chores or read when you need to without giving up the design of the main chandelier.
Having said that, let's move on to the Trends
Luminaire trends in 2024
1. Chrome and silver
Chrome and silver are set to make a comeback in many areas of interior design and lighting is no exception.
These new, modern finishes are set to gain in popularity, and may even surpass the beloved brass, matte black and gold that have dominated the industry in recent years.
2. Organic forms
Organic shapes have already taken hold in various design pieces and will continue to do so in 2024 in chandeliers too.
An appeal to the inspiration of nature and its forms. Lighting inspired by nature is an excellent way of recreating the delicacy of the freest and most spontaneous forms in your home, infusing spaces with a less rigid, peaceful and serene atmosphere.
3. Natural materials
This same more naturalistic vision, going back to our human roots, concerns the choice of materials. Examples include rattan, bamboo and straw.
4. Wabi sabi
We've already talked about organic shapes and natural materials, but wabi sabi uses all of this, but adds the intriguing touch of imperfection
The traditional Japanese aesthetic that appreciates the beauty of imperfections and accepts the natural cycle of life: the passage of time and the growth and decay that accompany it.
This translates into natural pieces with little workmanship, without much retouching, worn and with the patina of wear and tear
5. Sculptural minimalist contrast
Minimalist design never goes out of fashion. Simple, calm and neutral spaces help us feel relaxed. In a minimalist interior, sculptural lighting can really make an impact.
Elegant and artistic pieces that serve as captivating focal points and vocalize the expression of personal style are the idea of this trend.
6. Oversize
These striking lamps are ideal for entryways and dining spaces, where they create a dramatic focal point.
Those traditional chandelier-style glass and metal pieces, in many different versions, shapes, styles, colors and designs, look for the one that suits your personal style and choose the really great ones.
7. Quiet Luxury
More than just a style of dress, quiet luxury is a lifestyle, and that is reflected in the choices you make for each one.
In the world of lighting in 2024, there will be an increase in simple but highly elegant design that is opulent without being flashy or extravagant. In particular, white and gold luminaires are on the rise.
8. Polished materials
Matte finishes are taking a back seat and high-polish accessories seem to be starting to emerge again
Think shiny black accessories, highly polished silver and gold and much more.
