Trending light fixtures in 2022 | Global Sources
What will illuminate homes next year?
In the middle of a pandemic, trends defining fashion and lifestyle come and go as fast as ever. At the onset of lockdowns, consumers were quick to shift from formal office attire to comfortable, laid-back work-from-home clothes. But now that physical restrictions have loosened and the world is going back to an everyday life where face-to-face interactions are not so discouraged, consumers are starting to rethink some mid-pandemic lifestyle standards.
While lighting and design trends in 2021 did not evolve quite as fast as some lifestyle aspects, they are by no means standing still. Consumers working from home are finding more ways to optimize their household and find the perfect work-life balance aesthetic. Interior lighting and design trends earlier this year saw a spike in clean, minimalist and practically lit interiors that set the mood for both focus and relaxation. New trends loom for 2022, combing the old with the new, and the quirky with the conventional. For buyers keeping an eye out on which trends will be popular next year, we've rounded up a few.
Eco-friendliness
Interior design website Indecortrends.com highlights the importance of using green materials such as wood, bamboo and glass in light fixtures. As various industries follow consumer demand to invest more in environmental friendliness to slow down the deterioration of the planet, there is no doubt that this will also be a key trend in lighting in the years to come.
Spherical lights
Spherical chandeliers, wall and pendant lights are causing a splash. These fixtures, which can have opaque, transparent or translucent glass covers are eye-catching yet pleasant and enhance the chic aesthetic of any interior or exterior space.
Practicality
Function is the sine qua non of interior lighting. An interior space can have all the right elements such as pleasing colors and modern textures, but without practical and pleasing lighting fixtures, the design scheme is bound to look amiss. With this in mind, linear wall lights are a practical solution. They emit light from the side of the room, giving more options in terms of placement compared to standard overhead lights, which can be too bright and overpowering for the same overall illumination levels.
