Brilliant Lighting for the Latest Interior Trends

It's an industrial evolution with Brilliant Lighting

Inspired by ecological preservation, 2016 will see the popular industrial trend evolve into an eco-style featuring lush forest green hues, beech timber and glass elements, according to leading Australian lighting company, Brilliant Lighting. Jacqueline Hughes, Brilliant Lighting's Interior Product Manager and Trend Forecaster, says anyone can create this re-energized industrial style in their home.

'The popular industrial trend is set to move away from the typical gritty warehouse feel, instead evolving into the eco-inspired look. Moving into the cooler months, invite vibrant rainforest greens into the home and pair them with glass accessories and beech timber finishes," says Ms Hughes.

The move from classic industrial interiors is a natural evolution as homeowners are increasingly seeking a relaxing space that offers a place to reflect, away from the fast paced world around them.

'Fresh green colours can create a feeling of calm while stimulating the senses and are perfectly complemented with the gloss and depth of sculptural glass shapes such as the Brilliant Lighting Bonnie, Mila and Janet. To add a pop of drama and contrast, hang glass shades framed and anchored with matt black elements with pendants such as the Brilliant Lighting Andy," says Ms Hughes.

Adding depth to lighter colours or creating mood in a darker space, the right lighting is an incredibly cost effective way to enhance the feel of a room without crowding the space. By combining a mixture of batten fix and pendant styles installed asymmetrically, homeowners can create an interesting eclectic feel with industrial flair.

To finish the eco-inspired industrial look, highlight with forest green accessories and unlikely pieces with personality as well as a mixture of natural and glass materials as well as fine and chunky textures says Ms Hughes.

'Instead of a green accent wall, homeowners can also combine greenery in glass bottles with plywood timber furniture or wall panels to complete the look or decorate with soft furnishings such as rugs, cushions and throws in neutral tones. It's very easy to turn your home into an eco-industrial inspired haven!"

Brilliant Lighting forecasts a retro renaissance in 2016

The chic bold colours and evocative designs of the retro era are set for a revival in interiors and lighting this year, according to leading Australian lighting company Brilliant Lighting.

Brilliant Lighting Interior Product Manager and Trend Forecaster, Jacqueline Hughes says anyone can take part in the 2016 retro resurgence.

'Retro chic can be achieved by mixing vibrant colour with the opulent tones of black, brass and darkened timber. In particular, blue is set to be a dominant hue this season, bringing a fresh twist on the recently popular teal seen across homewares," Ms Hughes says.

This vibrancy hints at the pop art movement of the mid-century, with the retro feel also achievable by incorporating pared back classic shapes of the mid-century. Update the look by selecting pieces in sophisticated materials and textures throughout the rest of the living space which will also calm the vivid colour.

'Bold lines add to the retro style while including audacious accessories will enhance the overall look. These elements are sure to pay homage to the forefathers in retro design," says Ms Hughes. 'To create this look, at-home decorators can invest in lighting with angular prism shapes or rounded lines, as inspired by the retro era. Finishes should be mesh, brass, black or matte metal. These materials and textures can be added to homes by the way of on-trend designs from the Brilliant Lighting range," Ms Hughes adds.

Lighting can be used to sharpen and add interest into a neutral home. A statement can be made simply by hanging a pendant at eye level asymmetrically or create an eclectic feel by installing a cluster of lights together.

Constantly searching the international design world for inspiration, Brilliant Lighting also studies overseas markets in order to forecast the next big trend in lighting and interior design including product, design innovation, colour and finish.

With blues pegged to be the face of the retro colour revival this season, it's important to accompany Brilliant Lighting pendants with small design elements that create an extra touch of interior professionalism and sophistication.

Ms Hughes says, 'Investing in a retro occasional chair or side table, accompanied by a cluster of low hung brass lighting and blue accessories can really bring life to a dull room. Add in homewares such as rugs, terrariums or reclaimed furniture and you have yourself the perfect retro revival!"
