Home design trends in 2026 are all about style and personality. Fun wallpapers, stone accents and colorful accessories are trending this year to bring a unique and colorful look to your home! One of our favorite ways to create interest is in your lighting! Adding different types and styles of lighting is an easy and simple way to add personality to your space.

Swap out your simple over head lights for a small chandelier or or unique lighting feature. This is an easy and simple swap that will add a focal point to any room and act as an art piece while still being functional. You can choose a simple chandelier or pendant light or opt for something more unique such as interesting lamp shapes or colors that will elevate any room.
Another easy lighting swap is switching out your standing or table lamps. We love finding a vintage lamp that will draw your eye. Swapping out your lamp shade is an easy switch but will make a huge difference in the look and feel of your space. You can add a lampshade with patterns or colors to create a fun vibe or keep it simpler with a more interesting shape to add dimension. Finally swapping out your lightbulbs is a great way to change the ambience and overall feel of any room. We love a warm colored lightbulb as well as a stain glass bulb to add color and warmth.
Switching up the lighting in your house is a relatively simple change that will make a huge difference. Whether it's an overhead fixture that pulls your gaze or funky table lamps to add color and dimension, we love to emphasize the uniqueness of a functional piece in your space. If you have unique lighting in your home or take the time to swap some of your lamps, we'd love to see them!
