Walk into a cool café. There’s one that we can almost guarantee you’ll see among the latte cups – unique lighting.
The quirkier the better, it seems. There’s ropes of fairy lights suspended from the roof, Scandinavian-style statement light bulbs, and open-plan windows embracing natural light. When it comes to lighting, the more creative the better.
As custom home builders, we’re always looking at lighting. We can help ourselves.

There are many types of themes you can choose from. From vintage and arty to modern and chic, lighting trends are constantly evolving.
Stylish, energy efficient lighting design ideas
LED ropes are a popular choice for accent lighting. It’s an energy efficient option that looks stylish when used above cabinets, countertops, staircases, and ceilings. You can also place it around kitchen, bathroom and living room mirrors to give them a special touch.
With lighting, don’t be afraid to go bold. Get creative and let your personality out. For your living room and bedroom, why not choose a statement piece to give uniqueness to a room. Blend different lighting materials, including metal, crystals, textures, and finishes. Bring light to every room in a different way, but have a central theme.
Soft gold lighting fixtures is another go-to choice in 2017. Search for soft gold overhead options that attract attention. It could be as simple as a gold lamp next to a sofa.
Retro and industrial are in at the moment, just like in cafes.
Minimalism continues to dominate modern décor. You can add clean lighting into any room in your house. Let the lighting fixture stand out and ‘speak’ for a room.
