This new lighting trend is my favorite way to make awkward corners seem luxe – no matter your budget

Often when faced with an empty, awkward corner in a home, we wonder what is the best way to fill the mass of space. The good news is that it's a great opportunity to get creative and showcase a unique design piece. I spotted a great lighting trend that you can use to emphasize an empty space or corner which really elevates the look and feel of a room. It is on the more expensive side of decorating, however there are ways to recreate the look with a more limited budget too. 

In recent years designers have been using lighting techniques for much more than practical function. The latest lighting trends draw our attention towards sculptural shapes, a wide variety of materials, and the use of color in playful ways. Handmade pendant lights are one of the most popular, and you can use them in smart ways to make a real impact by showcasing them as an element of decor beyond its function.
