Modern Lighting Ideas

Light up your home with these modern lighting ideas. These modern ceiling lighting fixtures, and designer lamps ideas will add style to any home.

“1990 called. They want their track lighting back.” This was the cheeky comment about a new modern home in Seattle that got us thinking about all the lighting fixtures that we see day in and day out while covering homes on Curbed. Besides track lighting, which, yes, is still shining bright in 2016, there are quite a few other lighting styles that, despite all their aesthetic or functional appeal (and there’s plenty), are getting a bit tiring to see. Namely:

Anything with branches

Which of these do you love or loathe or are just totally “meh” about?
