In recent years, lighting trends in North America have increasingly focused on blending functionality with aesthetics to create spaces that are both visually appealing and practical.

Here are some key trends:

• Place bedside lamps on each side of the bed for reading or ambient lighting. Choose lamps with adjustable brightness settings or dimmer switches for versatility.
• If you have a desk or vanity in your bedroom, incorporate task lighting such as a table lamp or a wall-mounted fixture to provide focused illumination for activities like reading or getting ready.
• Create a well-lit and versatile living room by incorporating multiple layers of lighting. Combine overhead fixtures, floor lamps, table lamps, and accent lighting to provide both ambient and task lighting as needed.
• Add table lamps to side tables, console tables, or shelves to provide task lighting for reading or accent lighting for ambiance. Choose lamps with shades that diffuse light softly and complement your overall décor.
