Using lighting in architecture and interior design projects is undoubtedly the key to achieve original and unique spaces, but as in other sectors, lighting also follows trends, and it is important to be up to date to achieve modern and trendy spaces.

1.LED strips as indirect lighting to create visual effects.

One of the most successful lighting trends of 2022 is the use of LED strips as indirect lighting. The possibility of using it on ceilings, walls and hidden behind the details and reliefs of the architecture makes it possible to obtain the most original and discreet lighting as a result.

2. Use of closed-angle luminaires in transit areas

Lighting in transit areas cannot be overlooked either, and just as in relaxation or rest areas, one of the techniques that are being used the most to illuminate and create the perfect atmosphere is the use of fairly narrow-angle luminaires to create contrast.

3. Small technical luminaires

In a sector where elements are sought that can go unnoticed and even blend into the aesthetics and overall design of spaces, size is important, and precisely for this reason one of the lighting trends of 2022 are increasingly smaller technical luminaires, with which lighting and decorating is possible thanks to small sizes and innovative designs.

 4. Frameless or plaster body luminaires to blend in.

And speaking of integrating lighting into the interior design in a discreet way, the use of frameless or plaster body luminaires are undoubtedly one of the favorite lighting trends in this 2022.

The fact is that using luminaires capable of blending in 100% with the decoration is one of the most demanded solutions to achieve elegance and discretion in the same element.

5. Go for warm light.

Although this is a factor that depends largely on the taste of each person, for some time now, has begun to better welcome the warm light. And is that where before they used cold light regardless of the functionality of the space, now the warm light has proven to be the best option to provide comfort and convey tranquility.

6. Ornamental light in gardens.

Trying to illuminate garden areas and terraces as if it were natural light is not an option that gives good results. And if what you want is to achieve a relaxed, cozy, and inviting space to sit and hang out, the best option is ornamental lights.

These luminaires provide more than enough general light for the activities that take place in these areas and have proven to be one of the lighting trends of 2022 that are here to stay.

7. The return of pastel colors, gold and bronze in decorative lighting.

They say that many fashions end up coming back, and it seems that in this case lighting has followed it to the letter. And it is that gold and bronze colors and pastel shades are already one of the most followed lighting trends in 2022. Decorative lighting is already using these tones to blend in with all kinds of styles and designs, and it seems to be a success.

8. Decorative luminaires on walls as works of art.

Lighting can also be an art, to the point of being one of the favorite decorative elements in interior design. And one of the most striking lighting trends of this 2022 is the use of luminaires as another element of decoration, rather than as a way to illuminate itself.

9. Tunable white or dynamic white lighting

This trend is becoming more popular in 2022. Imagine being able to reproduce the natural colour changes that light experiences throughout the day. This is possible thanks to tunable white technology.

This is a very useful resource that supports the application of Human Centric Lighting (HCL), which puts people at the centre of lighting planning and adapts to the natural circadian rhythm. This is why it is increasingly applied in all types of spaces such as offices, residences, educational centres, hospitals and corporate centres.
