1. Traditional chandeliers.

Even if you have a really plain design scheme, one single chandelier will make it absolutely pop! Multi-bulb designs are the most commonly seen and you have the choice of going a little more subtle with your design, or all out, with hanging crystals. We know which we'd choose…

2. Perfect pendants.

So popular right now, pendant lights are brilliant for hanging anywhere that needs focused lighting and feel just that little bit too dark and gloomy. Breakfast bars are the ideal spot for some, as you can see here!

3. Movable spotlights.

Spotlights aren't a new innovation, but they have stood the test of time thanks to being so easy to move and direct wherever you need the most light. They are also understated in design, making them work with any wider scheme easily.

4. Sleek ceiling lights.

When you want main lights but prefer them to not be the main attraction, flush fitting and low-profile versions are ideal! They radiate light across the ceiling, instead of straight down, which makes them fantastic for lower ceilings that could use the illusion of more height.

5. Built-in ceiling edging.

This is a relatively new trend, but it is taking off in a big way! Using sculptural ceiling shapes to offer natural inlays for lighting is inspired and leads to such an integrated and upmarket finish. This lighting style is especially good in warmer climates, as the lion share of the ceiling is left free for fans.

6. Posable desk lamps.

Not only are posable desk lamps ideal for actually using on a desk, obviously, but if you happen to like the industrial aesthetic they have going on, you might like to use them as handy bedside lamps as well. You can angle the beam out of your face and still have plenty of illumination to read to! Perfect.

7. Table lamps.
