Lighting is one of the most important finishing touches to a room. When added with intention, the right fixture sets the mood and helps tie the room’s design elements together. No matter your home’s style, there’s a light for that! We’re sharing fantastic lighting ideas from our brand partners to help you find the perfect lighting fixture for your space. 

Living Room Lighting Ideas

Let lighting make your living room look and feel amazing, no matter its style.  

Transitional Living Room 

A little contemporary, a little traditional, transitional style blends the best of both worlds into a warm and inviting living room. Soft neutrals, clean lines, varying textures, and classic details are the hallmarks of this popular look. This three-tiered chandelier by Crystorama in a black finish offers a subtle contrast and a touch of glam.

Traditional Living Room 

Traditional styling is highlighted by symmetry, sophistication, and a curated feel. The Park Avenue Collection by Avenue Lighting features a classic lantern shape perfectly scaled to the room’s high ceiling. Its gold finish matches or complements other elements in the room. 

Contemporary Living Room

This living room’s neutral base, bold sofa, and clean lines are textbook contemporary style. Curved furnishings like the Dayton Pendant from AFX, combined with the mirror and coffee table, soften and round out the design.

Kitchen Lighting Ideas

Brighten the most popular room in the house with light fixtures that inspire. 

Modern Kitchen  

Modern style is calm, cool, and collected. Smooth surfaces, clean lines, and crisp angles define this uncluttered look, as does an emphasis on natural materials. In this chic and neutral kitchen, the Saber Chandelier by CWI Lighting becomes the main event and a work of art.

Industrial Kitchen

Inspired by factories, warehouses, and lofts, industrial style integrates raw materials and exposed structural features. Think exposed beams, brick, concrete, and reclaimed wood with an earthy color palette. With its mixed metal finish and acrylic cylinders, the Rola Pendant by Eurofase complements this kitchen’s industrial palette and gives it a modern touch.

Modern Farmhouse Kitchen

Matte black fixtures anchor and highlight the modern farmhouse look in this bright and airy kitchen full of light browns and warm wood flooring. The Bodie by Hinkley, creates an appealing contrast. 

Entryway Lighting Ideas

Make the ultimate first impression with these entryway fixtures. 

Traditional Entryway

Custom millwork and neoclassical elements highlight this traditional entryway. The Calypso 3 Semi Flush light harnesses the natural light coming in from the front door and transom window. Glass beads twinkle to draw the eye upward and create volume.

Maximalistic Entryway

More is more in maximalist style. More color, more pattern, more texture, more mixing decor styles. In this visual feast, a light fixture with a simple silhouette can help unify many of a room’s elements. The simple yet striking sputnik chandelier in this entryway complements the wood paneling and highlights the colorful decorative molding on the ceiling.

Minimalistic Entryway

Functional and intentional design with a focus on quality materials is the defining feature of minimalism. The simple design of the Oliver contributes to the minimalistic effect while the color and curved shape create a soft contrast to the neutral palette and clean lines.

Bedroom Lighting Ideas

Let lighting help create the perfect atmosphere for rest and relaxation. 

Boho Bedroom

Bohemian decor is all about textures, natural materials, greenery, and feel-good style. Rattan, jute, linen, and cotton mingle with global-inspired patterns. Organic elements, like Hinkley Lighting’s Luca chandelier with a woven drum, reinforce the bedroom’s earthy comforts.

Moody Bedroom

Moody design is a vibe. Saturated color, bold details, textured layers, cozy lighting—together, these elements create drama, a scene, and a distinctive sense of place. With its luxe drop detail, the Petal chandelier by Kichler adds an Art Deco touch and brings out this bedroom’s various shades of blue and vintage styling.

Coastal Bedroom

Natural linen, soft blues, and ash wood furnishings are coastal design calling cards. The aesthetic is meticulously curated yet looks as effortless as a blissful seaside afternoon. Kichler’s Maeve ceiling fan is simple, elegant, and ideal for harnessing the beachy breeze.

Bathroom Lighting Ideas 

Here’s how to create a spa-inspired retreat. 

Scandinavian Bathroom 

Few styles blend form and function as well as Scandinavian design. Its appeal often lies in its cozy blend of natural light, organic materials, and simple forms. This bright bathroom is full of Nordic influences, and the Barbican sconce by Currey & Company offers a playful touch that balances the space’s clean lines and gleaming surfaces.

Minimalistic Bathroom 

In a bathroom that embraces minimalism, light fixtures can become opportunities for drama and bespoke detailing. Here, sophistication is reflected in simple yet luxurious materials, like wall-to-wall marble, a curved soaking tub, and elegant Circa sconces by Avenue Lighting.

Tips for Style-Matching Your Lighting 

Selecting light fixtures to complement your room styles can be challenging because there are so many choices. Here are a few things to consider when shopping. 

• Prioritize Function First: Think about what activities will take place in the room to determine the type of lighting you need (ambient, accent, or task lighting).
  
• Right Size the Fixture: The light you choose should fit the space. Consider the room’s square footage, ceiling height, and overall layout (open concept plan vs. traditional plan). All of these factors will influence the scale, size, and shape of the light fixture.
• Complement the Colors: A room’s color palette often fuels light fixture choices, and certain design styles favor certain hues. Pull the color from existing elements like furniture or wall treatments and match, complement, or contrast.
• Consider the Finish: Pick fixtures with finishes and materials that make sense with the room’s style (i.e., matte black for modern or antique brass for traditional). 

But the best advice we can give is to pick something you love and you’ll enjoy looking at every day. It’s your home and your style, so you make the rules!
