Fresh, light and appealing, white finishes on
lighting fixtures are a bright new trend. Shades of white are the go-to favorite in many interior design plans. Now, white lighting fixtures are having a well-deserved moment, and here's why. White is easily integrated into any design scheme, from traditional to modern to coastal and more. White accents do wonders to brighten up a dark interior. A white fixture is luminous enough to boost visual interest in a room with a neutral color palette without being overpowering. While white is known for bringing a modern edge to Contemporary rooms, it's also great for other design styles. In Coastal interiors, white serves as a background for sea-inspired blues and greens used throughout the space. In Traditional and Transitional rooms, layering shades of white can add a cozy and warm feel. Farmhouse interiors use touches of weathered white to bestow a vintage feel. Modern Farmhouse refreshes country elements with white and combines them with clean lines, creating a relationship between old and new. We've taken some of our favorite, white-finished lighting fixtures and matched them up to design trends.
Modern: Pivot Chandelier and Curve Wall Sconce

Coastal: Shearwater Pendant and Surfrider Sconce
