At Klaff's Lighting showrooms, our design consultants are continually monitoring lighting design trends from two perspectives - what is available within the industry and what is demanded by our clients. 

New items are added almost daily to our already extensive collection. And if we don't have it in the showroom, we can always order it for you.

While the casual country look continues to be popular, our design consultants are observing a resurgence of a more classic European and continental statement in lighting fixtures - a style where details are accentuated and embellished. 

The demand is strongly evident in the emphasis on foyer and entry pieces that will set the tone for the selection of other lighting pieces throughout the home. 

As the focal point of the entrance to the home, the foyer fixture should be dramatic, detailed and well-proportioned. 

Brass - polished, burnished and mixed with black- continues to be the most popular metallic finish. Brass is also popular mixed with crystal. And crystal chandeliers still evoke a romantic and timeless atmosphere 

Contemporary and modern lamp designs have also been updated for the new millenium. Modern styles for the 2000's are more toned down - clean and classic but still bold and striking. The lines are simply stated with dramatic impact - definitely exemplifying that less is more.

Traditional styles in table lamps and floor lamps are reminiscent of the 1920's featuring beaded or fringed lamp shades. The lamp bodies have classic balustrades and columns, copying strong architectural building elements - design styles which will endure for many years and prove that good design is timeless.
