If you’re always on the lookout for new, creative lighting ideas for your home, the good news is that this season is all about unusual light fixtures and the use of jewel colours to create a cool, vibrant atmosphere.  Here are a few ideas to get you in the mood to use lighting to enhance your living space this spring.

Gemstone lighting

Using accent lighting with jewel coloured shades is a great way to add some ambiance to any space.  Coloured wall lights in purples, pinks, reds and blues add vibrancy and excitement or a soft, romantic atmosphere to your living or dining space.  Keep them out of bathrooms and kitchens though, where light should be bright and functional!

Adjustable lights

Adding adjustable wall lights to your space is perfect if you use your room for multiple functions; for example, if you live in a studio and your dining space doubles as your work space, adjustable wall lights can help you to create a bright space for working and a more relaxed mood for dining with your partner – perfect.

Soft modern lighting

‘Soft modern’ refers to contemporary styled pendants and other lighting solutions in soft shades such as baby pink, pale grey, mink and other neutral shades.  It’s about minimalism but also creating a relaxed feel.

These are just a few thoughts to get you started – hunting online and reading the latest interior design magazines will give you plenty more creative ideas for lighting up your home this year.
