Calibo’s New Lighting Collection

You might be familiar with the award-winning range of ceiling fans from Calibo, but what you may not know is they’ve recently released a new collection of bold lighting pieces, designed to elevate any interior design project. Exclusively launched with Lighting Illusions just in time for the summer season, the Calibo lighting collection features luxurious finishes, plenty of texture, and high-quality materials. 

Popular Lighting Styles
Organic Influences 

Organic shapes, materials, and even colours could be an ideal option when it comes to your lighting. From soft curves to sleek white hues and natural materials, organic influences are the perfect way to bring a touch of the outdoors inside, in a chic way. Take alabaster stone, for example. We love the way this stone completely elevates different lighting solutions to bring in a blend of timeless elegance and natural character.

Lighting as Art 

Lighting no longer needs to be limited to a functionality that blends into the background. More and more, different lighting solutions are being selected for their art-like qualities, making them focal points within rooms. It’s a great option if you’re looking to be a bit bolder when it comes to your finishes. 

Minimalist Options 

Minimalism is still a go-to option for interior lighting, with the current lighting fixtures offering complete elevation for your home. Think simplistic shapes, clean lines, and designs that lean into the functionality of the lighting, while remaining sophisticated and stylish. 

Mixing Materials and Creating Texture

Opting for lighting solutions that mix materials can create striking interest within your home. Lighting solutions that blend metals, such as brass and copper, with textural elements like fluted glass create a juxtaposition that adds depth to your space. These pieces not only illuminate your room but also act as statement elements, merging practicality with design innovation. 

Understand the Types of Lighting

It’s also important to under the three main types of lighting to help you make your decision on which styles to select. 

Ambient lighting is the general light in a room, offering overall illumination. Often achieved through downlights, chandeliers, or wall lights, the aim is to create a well-lit room without being too harsh.

Task lighting focuses on specific areas where activities like reading, cooking, or working take place. Thinks lamps, under-cabinet lighting, or even pendant lights.

Accent lighting is used to highlight features in the room, such as artwork, architectural details, or decor. Wall sconces and LED strip lights are ideal when it comes to this type of focused illumination.
