Hi all! My name is Jenn and I write for Arcadian Lighting, a fantastic source for information and ideas on lighting fixtures for your home. I love writing about interior design and particularly lighting, as a great light fixture can really make or break the entire look of a space. I also spend a good portion of my day perusing inspiring websites like the expert advice provided on ESI Interiors’ blog. Thanks for having me!

Traditional lighting has reigned supreme for decades but it’s only been more recently that designers have looked outside the lightbox and reinvented a myriad of lighting fixtures – today there’s no shortage of contemporary lighting to choose from. Created like works of art and used as task as well as accent lighting, here are eight modish fixtures that demonstrate the wide range of stylish possibilities.

Spidey-Sense

This one-of-a-kind contemporary lighting fixture resembles an eerie spider with long-reaching “arms” and “legs” outfitted with spotlights.

Invisible and Amazing

Sometimes the most striking of contemporary lighting is the type where you don’t see the fixture at all – up-lighting highlights this sweeping floating staircase.

Mirrored Effects

This dashing duo of pendant lights with black barrel shades looks even more dramatic when reflected in a massive mirror.

Mix It Up

There are several contemporary lights in this space – the arched floor lamp adds visual appeal to the living room while the ceiling light and table lamp are almost space-like.

Punch of Colour

Contemporary lighting in bold hues, like this classic chandelier that has been updated with lavender baubles, always takes centre stage in a space.

All in Black

A melange of modern black ceiling lights grouped together over this glass table makes a major sophistication statement in this dining room.

Standing Tall

A floor lamp in a vibrant hue such as orange complements the bright stripes and tones in this funky couch and area rug.

Chic Sconces

Sconce contemporary lighting, both in bathroom light fixtures along with wall-mounted ones, creates ambience and mood in this mod bathroom.
