With a flick of the switch, it’s suddenly summer, which means it’s time to elevate your home. Any designer will tell you that the easiest way to completely transform your space isn’t by splurging on a sleeper sofa or a new set of chairs, but by adjusting your lighting. Natural lighting is all important, of course, but so is a chic pendant, sconce, or lamp to help set the vibe. Harsh overhead lighting, for example, can be a total mood killer. Instead, we’re advocating for statement lighting this year that’s sure to turn heads and set your space apart. Ready to dive in? Here, a few of our favorites for more impactful illumination.
Glass plus brass equals timeless elegance. Lillia, in particular, takes inspiration from water lilies, seamlessly blending the two materials together.
Part lighting, part mosaic, designer Elyse Graham’s Meta pendants are a sight to behold. Prism, in particular, features an array of bold, beautiful colors that shine even when the lights are out.
Finally, a light that will make all your dreams come true. At least, if those dreams include artful illumination that is! With a curving shape and subtle, glowing orbs, interior designer Nina Magon’s latest makes a real statement.
Florals for spring, yes, but make it interesting. Inspired by budding flowers, Flar puts a delicate spin on the blossom look.
Rattan never goes out of style, and this season it’s hotter than ever. Here, the natural material is woven into a beautiful, undulating shape that’s perfect for a coastal living room.
Add a nautical touch to your home with Cape. Its shape evokes the porthole windows found on ships, albeit with a bit less sea spray involved.
No more neutrals! Give your lighting scheme a bit of extra pizzazz with this blue moment from Roche Bobois. Perfect for a moodier vibe.
Ceramic goes back a ways—quite literally thousands of years—so it’s a welcome change when a designer puts their own spin on the storied medium. Adam D. Miller’s colorful lamps, then, are an instant favorite, and feel equal parts art and illumination.
A reintroduction of a storied classic, the Aluminum Bullet is the type of chandelier that fits in just about any interior environment. Bonus points if you’re into the midcentury modern look...
Many designers look to the natural world for inspiration; few can say they’ve found it in a jellyfish. Nevertheless, the gelatinous organism makes for a chic muse, as evidenced by this curved flush mount.
You can’t go wrong with the classics, and Flos—and, by extension, the Castiglioni brothers—has a long list of them. Among that cohort is Taccia, which this year debuted in a new matte white shade.
The Pillow sconces may have a name that evokes catching z’s, but they look like pure candy. Soft shapes and brilliant colors come together for lighting that looks good enough to eat.
Saint Louis’s craftsmanship yields some of the most exquisite crystal light fixtures in the game, and its latest collection is no exception. Here, the “arms” of a chandelier become the main focus, creating a fluid, layered piece.
Mirage pulls off a clever magic trick: When it’s turned off, it resembles an objet rather than a lamp. Made with beautiful blown glass, it’s the type of disappearing act worth splurging for.
To borrow a storied Issey Miyake-ism: Pleats please! Svenskt Tenn’s colorful table lamp hits all the right notes, from pattern to structure and everything in between.
