modern living room hanging lights

lighting is super important in the designof a room and there are 5 fabulous lighting trends that i'm loving right now-- over scale,color, beads and baubles, industrial and natural. i'm seeing lots of large scale lighting intable lamps and in overhead fixtures. i love the look of a big pendant, hung over a kitchenisland. i call this the downton abbey trend. it's the return of the classic chandelierwith lots of crystals and bling- just beautiful and feminine. i love it. it really makes lightingthe jewelry of your room. just as color is returning to fashion, it's also coming backto home fashion. i love the way color is showing up in lighting all across the board. it'sa great way to make your lighting a focal point of your room. industrial is sort ofthe anti-trend to the beads and baubles. it's

more clean-lined and masculine and looks likea little bit like it came out of your high school science lab. but it's a great look.i really see this stemming from madmen and the mid-century mod look they have going onthere. this is one of my favorite trends on lighting. designers are using natural fabricslike rutan or linen on shades, but they're also recreating pieces of nature in lighting,such as this adorable owl or twigs or branches. it's just a great look.
