4. Modern Mid-Century
The simplicity of mid-century design is favourable in 2020. Clean lines emphasise the use of high-quality materials to produce a seamless finish. This emerging lighting trend that combines mid-century style with a modern twist offers a sense of elegance and charm. Incorporating mid-century styling into your interior brings a sense of character to your new space.
In the middle of the last century, there was huge reliance on the illumination provided by a single light fixture. This resulted in the use of multiple bulbs in a single feature. Designers also experimented with different shapes and architectural designs to ensure lighting was evenly dispersed.
A tasteful addition to help achieve this elegant style is through the display of opal glass globe light fixtures. The combination of spheres, soft curves and straight lines projects dignified beauty in a graceful fashion.

The glass pendants offer a clean finish, illustrating a fresh and pure space, which is highly desirable in these popular living quarters.
Whether it is a display of pendants above a kitchen island or through a single hanging spotlight in a bathroom area, clear pendants have the ability to grant an element of sophistication.
A fun alternative to adding a decorative feature to your interior is to hang pendants at varying heights, creating a focal point within the room.
