10 Contemporary Light Fixtures That Can Make Your Room POP!

Friday, April 2nd, 2010
Lighting has always been integral to the design of a room. Without proper lighting, all your decorating plans will simply come to naught. Without being told, everybody knows that a room’s lighting should be both functional and decorative. It has to be both practically and aesthetically pleasing. People have the misconception that lighting in modern homes is a plain affair with no drama or elaborate designs. This is not true. Contemporary homes also take pride in their light styling. You will not find yourself limited design-wise when it comes to choosing light fixtures for your modern home. The following are merely ten among many wonderful light fixtures that will give your room not only optimum illumination, but superior style as well.
Lumina Fan
1. Lumina Fan. When it comes to ceiling fans, the Lumina fan is a cut above all the others. Designed by Ron Rezek, one of America’s most innovative designers, the Lumina fan is a cross between a chandelier and a ceiling fan. Its two sculptural glass shapes produce a more encompassing light than your usual ceiling fan light fixtures. This fan comes in varying blade diameter, light and control options. There is also provision for use on a sloped ceiling. The fan itself makes a fascinating focal point and the light it produces is a lovely glow that serves its purpose very well.

2. Cascade Screen Table Lamp. For a contemporary home with dwellers who are open to non-traditional designs, something like the Cascade Screen table lamp is more suitable than the usual table lamp shade. The soft glow from the semi-translucent lamp gives ample illumination without the harsh glare expected of shade-free lamps. Besides the cascading glass feature, the lamp’s main materials are a sophisticated combination of dark brown wood and brushed nickel. Put it in any room and it will surely provide attraction.
