vary the lighting in a room to create little pockets and pools of light . Consider task lighting such as a table lamp with a moveable head or an adjustable floor lamp to help with activities such as reading , working or sewing . Accent lighting can then be used to highlight a piece of artwork , plants or architectural features in the room .
The number one consideration for lighting any space , no matter what the size , scale or budget has to be a dimmer switch . Dimmer switches are a quick and cost-effective way of offering multiple lighting levels in a space , allowing the homeowner to set the tone and change the atmosphere of a room instantly . For instance , you may prefer a low , dim light for entertaining guests at a dinner party , but still require the option of full brightness in that room if you ’ re reading later .

If you ’ re after a soft industrial style , brass lights add lovely visual texture to a space while having a slightly softer quality . Brass lights are often popular for bathroom spaces , but they can also bring energy to lighter-toned kitchens and hallways . Copper is a classic industrial material perfect for adding a splash of brightness to the dark , rugged industrial look . Alternatively , it is also a fantastic metal for bringing warmth and modernity to a space . Pewter and black metal finishes are perfect for those looking for more of a subtle look . While keeping that natural metallic texture , our pewter shades offer sophistication and versatility for any space .
11 . IS INDUSTRIAL DESIGN STILL IN STYLE / GOING OUT OF STYLE ?
Industrial design is timeless and will never go out of style , but it is constantly evolving . There is less emphasis on the rusty and rough , with a clear shift towards the premium , luxurious and high-quality materials that will stand the test of time .
Recent events have given homeowners the chance to appreciate every aspect of their homes a little bit more . While we have always cared for our home interiors , we have seen much more attention focused on creating the much sought-after inside / outside look and how we can strengthen the connection from our home to our outside space .
With more time being spent at home , we demand more from our spaces , both inside and out . The expectations for our outdoor living space now hold the same design opportunities as our home interiors and consequently we have seen an emerging trend to take the industrial look into outdoor spaces . There has been a huge demand for IP65 rated industrial lighting being used to create chic outdoor kitchens , bars or garden terraces for example .
