Artisan Accents Handcrafted elements in lighting are in this year, and they can be done inexpensively depending on who you want to design the lighting. One option is to use recycled materials in conjunction with vintage accents for a fresh and new looking design. For example, you can take modernized scroll work stems from a chandelier, and weld it apart from the bottom part of the chandelier and weld on these big cylindrical glass shades that have an almost traditional feel to them.

Oversized Elements Another big thing this year are oversized elements such as large pendant lights or shades that are larger than normal. These are a great way to make a bold statement in a room, but they can also act as a focal point for a piece f art, a claw foot tub or something else you are proud of in your bathroom. You can even find custom made oversized elements such as an oversized (rectangular) cage in bronze metal and then you can find something like rice paper to cover the cage up with. It creates a sense of ambiance in any room.

Warmer Metals A few years ago warmer metals were in and now they are back at it again. Warm metals include bronze brass and gold. While these finishes are heating up in 2016, you can also mix and match accordingly depending on what you think looks good, as well as different metals in your bathroom.

Nautical Home Accents If you love a nautical theme, but you were never sure how to incorporate it into your home without it looking like an old lighthouse or a sailboat, this is the way to do it‌ finally! Look for fixtures that have been sealed in beveled glass or seeded glass, you can also start thinking about shades or pendants that look like nautical items, like old lanterns.

Blue, navy blue to be exact, is a popular color this year as well and its a great way to complement your nautical theme.

Industrial Look

The Industrial Look has been in for the past few years, and that’s not changing in 2016.

If you want to add some cool industrial chic elements to your bathroom, consider pairing industrial designs with rustic interiors to warm this trend up. Industrial tends to have a cold look to it, especially since it deals with minimal style and lots of different warm metals. By adding in rustic colors and themes like weathered wood planks or a brick back splash painted brown you can create a cool look that IS industrial but also adds some warmth to the look too.

Decorative Lighting Another big trend this year? Decorative lighting. This includes some eye candy such as chandelier and wall sconces. If you want to add some ambiance while you are in your tub, you can also place a chandelier over the tub and install a dimmer to add a warm hue while you are in the bath – great for relaxing and unwinding!

Under The Cabinet Lighting If you spent a lot of money on your bathroom floor but you never get to enjoy it because its always too dim in your bathroom, why not consider adding under the cabinet lighting to light the pathway up so to speak.

Pendant Lights Pendant lights are stylish, but they also fit almost any style. Chandeliers tend to be very traditional, but because pendant lights come in so many different styles, shapes, sizes and materials you could essentially put these in any stylized bathroom and they would look good!

Hopefully, this rather large list of lights will give you a better idea of what is popular right now and give you a few more ideas on which options you should add to your bathroom.
