When it comes to lighting trends, we see brighter days ahead for 2022, with statement-making luminaires lighting the way!
Over the past several months, we’ve had numerous features on the Spotlight Blog about lighting as art and the latest technological advances within our industry. Our top trends for this coming year incorporate both key themes and feature products that will take your projects to the next level.
Read on to find out how to make a bold statement in 2022!
Trend # 1 – LED Sculptural Lighting
Unique, sculptural lighting that is used to make a statement will be big in 2022. The flexibility of malleable LED products will allow designers to create their own individualized installations that are specific to the feel of a space or project.
In the image below, designer Liz Kamarul uses LED rope light to add dimension and interest to the walls in her living room. Here, the lighting serves not only a functional purpose but also acts as art.
Several manufacturers such as Kelvix, Tivoli and WAC have recently released new LED rope light products, providing designer the tools that they need to make unique designs come to life.
Trend #2 – Natural Materials
Sustainability has been a topic for decades, and it’s not going away in 2022.
This year, however, we may see a focus on incorporating sustainable, natural materials rather than just efficient lighting.
The use of sustainable materials such as wood, leather, and ceramic can be used to add warmth and nature to modern spaces.
Though these natural materials may initially lend themselves to hospitality and residential spaces, companies such as Beta-Calco have recently released large scale, commercial products that incorporate them as well. Look for warm, sustainable touches in feature spaces within commercial spaces such as break rooms, lobbies and restrooms.
Trend # 3 – Dynamic Facades
There’s no doubt that technology continues to develop and influence our lives in many ways. In the world of lighting, we will see this innovation making its way to building facades to create impressive displays of dynamic lighting.
Stadiums and other large-scale public spaces will make use of this technology to draw the attention of the public and become a talking point amongst fans and others.
Technology-forward companies such as Lumenpulse will continue to offer innovative products with impressive control interfaces to make these concepts come to life.
