Autumn Lighting Trend for Big, Bold and Beautiful Lighting

Lighting design trends come and go, but there will always be a need for the perfect lighting to illuminate your home. Lighting changes the dynamics of every room; too bright, and you can suffer from eye strain, too dark and completing daily tasks can become harder.

One of the trends for this autumn is oversized lighting fixtures including giant pendants, statement flush mounts and dramatic wall lights which will be seen in homes more frequently this year, and not only in the living or dining room! The dramatic fixtures are the perfect centrepiece for any room, whether you want to place them over kitchen islands, above bedside tables or in your hallway.

Here we’d like to showcase some of the amazing new over-sized lights from David Hunt along with some popular favourites, all designed to enhance your home.

Creating An Impact When Dining

When it comes to the dining room, the room is predominately used for entertaining, dining or socialising. Lighting helps to set the tone and atmosphere, so why not create a bold statement with a large light?

Large lighting fixtures add an instant focal point, and when it comes to open-plan spaces, for example, if the dining room and kitchen are combined, oversized lights help to create a divide.

This David Hunt Aspen 5 light bar for example is available to mix and match the glass, so perfect for a large island over a long dining table.

When choosing lights for your kitchen diner, think about placing one statement pendant or a trio of pendants above the table, which is the ideal way to shape an atmosphere. Acting as a centrepiece, a pendant light placed above the kitchen table, not only to cascade the perfect amount of light, but in addition drawing your eyes to the ceiling. This David Hunt Putney is available in 12 gorgeous new earthy tones, the ideal complement for any kitchen-diner décor.

Go Large In The Living Room

While traditionally larger light fittings tends to be used the dining room and kitchen, they can also make a perfect addition in the living room. A large pendant in the centre of a living room makes a dramatic impact, setting the tone and mood of the space.

This David Hunt Laurel a contemporary drum shade has a very Roman feel due to the laurel leaf surround and is available in 23 different colours so you can match or contrast your living room colours.

Lighting Up Your Hallway

When it comes to your hallway, it is vital to make a good first impression. The perfect way to do this is to opt for a giant statement piece, which will ensure the space is adequately lit, as well as adding style and class.

The David Hunt Juno is a very large light boasting 16 pendants styled to suit both low and high ceilings whilst creating that all important statement.
