Soft Metallic Finishes
Soft metallic finishes are proving to be a very popular choice for all types of furnishings and décor. With silver, gold and rose gold finishes, it’s easy to find a hue that suits your existing theme, or to complement a new one your planning. Having a soft finish can bring warmth to the fixture as opposed to a shiny appearance, it’s a great way to attract attention without being too overbearing. Having the subtle metallic exterior can add allure to the room and will work well with ceiling lighting and floor lamps. Industrial Styles 
Refined industrial styles can work really well in kitchen spaces to match the other metal appliances in the room and the structured lines. You can get varied tones of metal to give a more rustic, modern or sleek finish. The neutral colours of metal work well with a number of colour palettes that your kitchen may have. The industrial style is also very versatile. It can be designed to have single bulbs or hold many bulbs, in different structures. Geometric 
Geometric designs are a very popular style of interior lighting fixture. They can add structure to a room and also double up as a decorative art feature. The open form of the geo lights gives a fresh and open appearance which can help rooms not seem to blocky. Geometric lights can come in varied shapes, with the metal structures being shaped in triangles, diamonds, rectangles, squares, hexagons, the list goes on…. Big Fixtures 
For those who want to make a statement, bigger is better. Having big lighting fixtures that make a statement and give the ‘wow’ factor can be the centrepiece you need in a room. The large-scale lights can be utilised as ceiling lights, chandeliers, table lamps and floor lights.
