How to use lighting to complement maximalist interior design trend

The biggest trend in home décor this year, the maximalist look for homes is gaining in popularity, but leaves many interior design enthusiasts wondering which lighting options to use to create an illusion of more space.

The maximalist design trend focuses upon the big, bold and beautiful with large pieces of statement furniture, dramatic wallcoverings and plenty of quirky accessories to dress the space and complete the look.

But with so much going on in just one room, homeowners are having to get smart when it comes to giving the appearance of more space and to illuminate key features.

LED lighting has provided modern homes with fantastic illumination in an energy saving and economical way for many years, providing high energy efficiency that has paved the way towards new breakthroughs in new green energy solutions for lighting.

Now, homeowners set on adopting the maximalist trend are taking full advantage of LED light technology and are looking at new and innovative ways to make LED lighting a part of their interior design efforts.

From large statement floor standing lamps to feature ceiling lights, sculptural pieces of LED lighting helps to infuse spaces with big personality and provides a visually compelling focus point for any maximalist room.

Other ways that LED lighting suits the maximalist trend is by illuminating key focal pieces in the room. One such example is frosted glass tables with LED lighting underneath that emits a soft glow and draws the eye to any accessories or ornaments placed above.

Uplighters for large pieces of artwork are also gaining in popularity as they are easy to install, energy efficient and provide a great alternative to wall lights to help illuminate statement canvasses.

BLT Direct director, Steven Ellwood said “The maximalist trend is set to continue into 2019, and LED lighting is helping home décor enthusiasts keep on trend and highlight the bold and luxurious textures, finishes and silhouettes that are appearing in homes up and down the country.

With their green energy, money saving and low maintenance features, there really is no better solution to illuminating the maximalist trend than LED lighting.”
