Alora introduced the Alora Mood X Kelsey Leigh collection, featuring the softened looks prevalent at Lightovation 2025. DALLAS — Many lighting manufacturers came to Lightovation earlier this month with a more practical, realistic mindset, acknowledging with their product intros that in 2025, many consumers may not have a big budget for lighting nor a grand space in which to install it. They are therefore paying more attention to smaller spaces, renters and affordable lighting options with design-forward pieces that rival their larger and more expensive cousins. In addition, the humble ceiling fan seems to be having a bit of a resurgence, and outdoor lighting options increased. If the Trump administration’s proposed tariffs become reality, lighting prices will increase, said Jeff Dross. Dross, an industry expert who was a corporate director of education and industry trends at Kichler Lighting for over 46 years, spoke during an American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) panel discussion during market. An ASID panel discussion covered trending topics in lighting. This is something most vendors have acknowledged since the issue of tariffs was first raised during the presidential campaign last year. Many of them pointed out that almost every company in the industry will be forced to raise prices and thus no one manufacturer will stand out. Dross, however, noted that “something will have to give” and manufacturers may find themselves less able to support their retail partners with things like product images and other assets, or may have to take more drastic steps such as reducing staff, relocating their business to a more affordable location or moving to smaller buildings. In the same panel discussion, Kirsten Recce of Black Whale Home in Encinitas, Calif., noted that the industry is still sitting on the 25% increase that results from the 2017 tariffs. “Lighting prices have essentially doubled in the past eight years,” Recce said. “On the lighting showroom side, I’m not seeing the budget for lighting that I used to see. I am seeing a saturation point … it’s getting harder and harder to sell high-end lighting. It’s the more value-oriented lines [that are selling.] “Both the lighting designer and the retail customer is stepping down.” Smaller spaces Perhaps with that in mind, manufacturers are paying more attention to smaller living spaces and apartment rentals (albeit higher-end apartment rentals) with lighting that can plug in — versus having to be hardwired — and trend-forward semi-flush and flush-mounts that are ideal for the 8- and 10-foot ceilings more commonly found in older homes and apartments. Knowing that consumer budgets are likely to dictate lighting choices this year, some vendors suggested that interior designers and end consumers could highlight one higher-end fixture in the most prominent or visited room in a home and use more budget-friendly choices that complement the higher-end fixture in the less-used or less-seen rooms. This also takes into consideration that consumers often only consider lighting with their leftover money, after all other room renovations are done. There was also a resurgent focus among manufacturers in ceiling fans, with more options from Maxim Lighting and Kuzco, among others, and a continued large offering from WAC Lighting and Progress Lighting, among others. Alex Ostrovsky, director of sales and product management for WAC Group, said the company was trying to get interior designers to better appreciate ceiling fans with models that are sleek and subtle, disappear into the space and “don’t clutter the ceiling.” Its carved balsa wood fans have been a popular sub-category of fans for the past four or five years, he said. Michael Poole of Visual Comfort shows off the Plank ceiling fan. At Visual Comfort, fans “have to perform and be beautiful,” said Michael Poole, senior manager for design partnerships and a former product developer. “The motor has to be powerful, sleek, quiet and move air. We invest in all those things.” Outdoor lighting Outdoor lighting designs also had their place in the spotlight at Lightovation. Industry newcomer Alteck Lighting made its Lightovation debut with a large assortment of outdoor styles with color-changing capability in a range of materials, all of which are 100% wet-location rated, according to Colleen Visage, chief operating officer. Alteck’s Eclipse flush mount, left, and the Raymond sconce Hubbardton Forge offered its take on traditional outdoor designs with a new shepherd’s hook-style lantern and one that had a cloche-like cover, rather than the panel-sided design. Many pieces in its outdoor assortment are Dark Sky-friendly, with no upward “escape” of light. Troy Lighting, part of the Hudson Valley Lighting Group, featured damp-rated rechargeable outdoor lanterns, its first foray into the outdoor cordless lamp category. Kichler, some of whose products were featured in its new corporate sister Progress Lighting’s showroom, has an Landscape Lighting Lab in its Experience Center in Dallas. Maxim noted its proprietary and patented Vivex material, which can withstand salt water, heat and cold, making it appropriate for coastal environments. It has a three-year limited warranty. Design direction “Softening” was the term most frequently used to describe an emerging design aesthetic, a blurring of style lines that makes looks more broadly appealing. So, contemporary or modern designs are softened using things like fabric shades, opaque glass or more classic elements, such as paneled sides or parasol shapes. The bare bulb era seems to be over. Bulbs took a backseat to shades which are milky, swirled and made of opaque white glass. There were more linen or fabric shades spotted at this show, more ribbed and fluted glass shades, and more diffusers. Natural materials like rattan have become a mainstay, and light-colored woods are on the rise, matching current looks in flooring and cabinetry, some vendors noted.

An ASID panel discussion covered trending topics in lighting. This is something most vendors have acknowledged since the issue of tariffs was first raised during the presidential campaign last year. Many of them pointed out that almost every company in the industry will be forced to raise prices and thus no one manufacturer will stand out. Dross, however, noted that “something will have to give” and manufacturers may find themselves less able to support their retail partners with things like product images and other assets, or may have to take more drastic steps such as reducing staff, relocating their business to a more affordable location or moving to smaller buildings. In the same panel discussion, Kirsten Recce of Black Whale Home in Encinitas, Calif., noted that the industry is still sitting on the 25% increase that results from the 2017 tariffs. “Lighting prices have essentially doubled in the past eight years,” Recce said. “On the lighting showroom side, I’m not seeing the budget for lighting that I used to see. I am seeing a saturation point … it’s getting harder and harder to sell high-end lighting. It’s the more value-oriented lines [that are selling.] “Both the lighting designer and the retail customer is stepping down.” Smaller spaces Perhaps with that in mind, manufacturers are paying more attention to smaller living spaces and apartment rentals (albeit higher-end apartment rentals) with lighting that can plug in — versus having to be hardwired — and trend-forward semi-flush and flush-mounts that are ideal for the 8- and 10-foot ceilings more commonly found in older homes and apartments. Knowing that consumer budgets are likely to dictate lighting choices this year, some vendors suggested that interior designers and end consumers could highlight one higher-end fixture in the most prominent or visited room in a home and use more budget-friendly choices that complement the higher-end fixture in the less-used or less-seen rooms. This also takes into consideration that consumers often only consider lighting with their leftover money, after all other room renovations are done. There was also a resurgent focus among manufacturers in ceiling fans, with more options from Maxim Lighting and Kuzco, among others, and a continued large offering from WAC Lighting and Progress Lighting, among others. Alex Ostrovsky, director of sales and product management for WAC Group, said the company was trying to get interior designers to better appreciate ceiling fans with models that are sleek and subtle, disappear into the space and “don’t clutter the ceiling.” Its carved balsa wood fans have been a popular sub-category of fans for the past four or five years, he said. Michael Poole of Visual Comfort shows off the Plank ceiling fan. At Visual Comfort, fans “have to perform and be beautiful,” said Michael Poole, senior manager for design partnerships and a former product developer. “The motor has to be powerful, sleek, quiet and move air.

Alora introduced the Alora Mood X Kelsey Leigh collection, featuring the softened looks prevalent at Lightovation 2025. DALLAS — Many lighting manufacturers came to Lightovation earlier this month with a more practical, realistic mindset, acknowledging with their product intros that in 2025, many consumers may not have a big budget for lighting nor a grand space in which to install it.

I am seeing a saturation point … it’s getting harder and harder to sell high-end lighting. It’s the more value-oriented lines [that are selling.] “Both the lighting designer and the retail customer is stepping down.” Smaller spaces Perhaps with that in mind, manufacturers are paying more attention to smaller living spaces and apartment rentals (albeit higher-end apartment rentals) with lighting that can plug in — versus having to be hardwired — and trend-forward semi-flush and flush-mounts that are ideal for the 8- and 10-foot ceilings more commonly found in older homes and apartments. Knowing that consumer budgets are likely to dictate lighting choices this year, some vendors suggested that interior designers and end consumers could highlight one higher-end fixture in the most prominent or visited room in a home and use more budget-friendly choices that complement the higher-end fixture in the less-used or less-seen rooms. This also takes into consideration that consumers often only consider lighting with their leftover money, after all other room renovations are done. There was also a resurgent focus among manufacturers in ceiling fans, with more options from Maxim Lighting and Kuzco, among others, and a continued large offering from WAC Lighting and Progress Lighting, among others. Alex Ostrovsky, director of sales and product management for WAC Group, said the company was trying to get interior designers to better appreciate ceiling fans with models that are sleek and subtle, disappear into the space and “don’t clutter the ceiling.” Its carved balsa wood fans have been a popular sub-category of fans for the past four or five years, he said. Michael Poole of Visual Comfort shows off the Plank ceiling fan. At Visual Comfort, fans “have to perform and be beautiful,” said Michael Poole, senior manager for design partnerships and a former product developer. “The motor has to be powerful, sleek, quiet and move air. We invest in all those things.” Outdoor lighting Outdoor lighting designs also had their place in the spotlight at Lightovation. Industry newcomer Alteck Lighting made its Lightovation debut with a large assortment of outdoor styles with color-changing capability in a range of materials, all of which are 100% wet-location rated, according to Colleen Visage, chief operating officer. Alteck’s Eclipse flush mount, left, and the Raymond sconce Hubbardton Forge offered its take on traditional outdoor designs with a new shepherd’s hook-style lantern and one that had a cloche-like cover, rather than the panel-sided design. Many pieces in its outdoor assortment are Dark Sky-friendly, with no upward “escape” of light. Troy Lighting, part of the Hudson Valley Lighting Group, featured damp-rated rechargeable outdoor lanterns, its first foray into the outdoor cordless lamp category. Kichler, some of whose products were featured in its new corporate sister Progress Lighting’s showroom, has an Landscape Lighting Lab in its Experience Center in Dallas. Maxim noted its proprietary and patented Vivex material, which can withstand salt water, heat and cold, making it appropriate for coastal environments. It has a three-year limited warranty. Design direction “Softening” was the term most frequently used to describe an emerging design aesthetic, a blurring of style lines that makes looks more broadly appealing. So, contemporary or modern designs are softened using things like fabric shades, opaque glass or more classic elements, such as paneled sides or parasol shapes. The bare bulb era seems to be over. Bulbs took a backseat to shades which are milky, swirled and made of opaque white glass. There were more linen or fabric shades spotted at this show, more ribbed and fluted glass shades, and more diffusers. Natural materials like rattan have become a mainstay, and light-colored woods are on the rise, matching current looks in flooring and cabinetry, some vendors noted. The Ellen DeGeneres Hikari linen pendant from Visual Comfort’s Studio line, left, and Lisa McDennon’s fringed Baya pendant from Hinkley There is a need for color, retailer Recce said. “Every shelter magazine is screaming color, and our industry has never had less color,” she said. There were touches here and there, including art glass pendants from Fine Art Handcrafted Lighting, Crystorama and Maxim Lighting, as well as colorful metal pendants with neutral undertones from Kuzco. Among the more interesting materials and material combinations at market was Maxim’s pendants designed by Ryan Saghian and made from perforated metal dipped in plaster and paired with travertine. !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s) if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function()n.callMethod? n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments); if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0'; n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0; t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)(window, document,'script', ' fbq('init', '693453330863834'); fbq('track', 'PageView'); Source link

Enhancing Outdoor Living Dallas TX Gazebos

In the heart of Texas lies a city known for its vibrant culture, rich history, and beautiful landscapes—Dallas. As the urban sprawl expands, so does the desire to create tranquil outdoor spaces amidst the hustle and bustle. Gazebos have become an integral part of enhancing outdoor living in Dallas, offering a retreat from the Texas sun while adding elegance and functionality to residential and commercial properties alike.

Gazebos, with their open sides and solid roof, blend seamlessly into the Texan landscape, providing a perfect oasis for relaxation, entertainment, and enjoyment of the outdoors. From intimate backyard gatherings to lavish events, gazebos offer versatility in their design and functionality. In Dallas, where outdoor living is a way of life, these structures serve as focal points for socializing, dining, and unwinding.

The climate in Dallas, characterized by hot summers and mild winters, makes outdoor living possible year-round. Gazebos provide shelter from the scorching sun during the summer months, allowing residents to enjoy their outdoor spaces without worrying about heat exhaustion. Moreover, during the cooler winter evenings, gazebos equipped with heating elements or fire pits create cozy gathering spots for family and friends.

One of the key advantages of gazebos is their ability to blend seamlessly with various architectural styles prevalent in Dallas. Whether it's a traditional Victorian design complementing historic neighborhoods like Highland Park or a sleek, modern structure enhancing the skyline of Downtown Dallas, gazebos can be customized to suit any aesthetic preference. From ornate wooden gazebos adorned with intricate carvings to minimalist steel and glass structures, the design possibilities are endless.

In addition to their aesthetic appeal, gazebos add value to properties in Dallas. Homeowners investing in gazebos often see an increase in property value, as these structures enhance the overall appeal and functionality of outdoor spaces. For commercial properties such as hotels, resorts, and event venues, gazebos offer a unique selling point, attracting guests and clients seeking an elevated outdoor experience.

Dallas, with its sprawling suburbs and expansive parks, provides ample opportunities for gazebos to thrive beyond residential properties. Public parks like Klyde Warren Park and Reverchon Park feature gazebos that serve as focal points for community events, concerts, and outdoor yoga classes. Moreover, gazebos in botanical gardens and nature reserves offer visitors a serene setting to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Texas.

As the demand for outdoor living spaces continues to grow in Dallas, so does the innovation in gazebo design and construction. Advancements in materials, such as durable composites and weather-resistant fabrics, ensure that gazebos withstand the harsh Texas climate while requiring minimal maintenance. Furthermore, technology integration, such as automated retractable roofs and built-in lighting systems, enhances the functionality and comfort of gazebos, allowing residents to enjoy outdoor living with ease.

These architectural gems hold cultural and historical significance, but many require modernization. LED lighting retrofits in Fort Worth and Dallas, TX offer a unique solution to breathe new life into these structures while simultaneously enhancing energy efficiency and aesthetics.

Energy Efficiency Meets Timeless Beauty

Older buildings often rely on outdated lighting systems that consume excessive energy, leading to high utility bills and a substantial carbon footprint. LED lighting retrofits offer a path to energy efficiency without compromising the charm and character of these historic structures.

1. Reduced Energy Consumption: One of the most significant advantages of LED lighting is its energy efficiency. LED bulbs use significantly less energy than traditional incandescent or fluorescent lights. Retrofitting older buildings in Fort Worth and Dallas with LED lighting can lead to substantial reductions in energy consumption, resulting in cost savings and a reduced environmental impact.

2. Longevity: LED bulbs are known for their durability and long lifespan. They can last up to 25 times longer than traditional incandescent bulbs, reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance in older buildings.

3. Improved Lighting Quality: LED lighting provides a clean, bright, consistent illumination that enhances the visibility and aesthetics of historical architecture. It offers excellent color rendering, making it ideal for showcasing the intricate details and features of older buildings.

4. Versatility in Design: LED lighting comes in various shapes, sizes, and color temperatures, allowing architects and designers to customize the lighting scheme to suit the unique characteristics of each historic building. From warm, soft lighting that complements traditional decor to contemporary, cool lighting for modernized spaces, LEDs offer versatility.

5. Minimal Heat Emission: LED bulbs generate significantly less heat than incandescent bulbs. This is particularly important in older buildings where heat can damage sensitive materials or affect the comfort of occupants. Reduced heat emission also contributes to lower cooling costs.

6. Enhanced Safety: LED lighting retrofits can improve safety in older buildings by providing better illumination in stairwells, corridors, and common areas. This is essential for both occupants and visitors.

Preserving Aesthetics While Modernizing

One of the concerns when renovating older buildings is preserving their historical aesthetics. LED lighting retrofits can seamlessly blend modern technology with classic architecture in Fort Worth and Dallas:

1. Retrofit Kits: LED retrofit kits are designed to fit into existing fixtures, making it easy to upgrade lighting without altering the original design. This ensures that the historical charm and character of the building are preserved.

2. Customized Solutions: LED lighting can be tailored to match the architectural style and ambiance of the building. Warm white LEDs can recreate the soft, inviting glow of traditional lighting, while color-changing LEDs can add a touch of drama and excitement to special spaces. Talk it out with a residential electrician in Dallas and Midlothian, TX, for the best outcome. 

3. Accent Lighting: LEDs are perfect for accent lighting in older buildings, highlighting architectural details, artwork, or unique features. This enhances the building's overall ambiance and draws attention to its historical significance.

4. Outdoor Lighting: LED outdoor lighting can be used to illuminate the exterior of older buildings, showcasing their beauty and creating a sense of safety and security. This is particularly important for historical landmarks.

LED lighting retrofits offer a transformative solution for older buildings in Fort Worth and Dallas, combining energy efficiency with the preservation of historical aesthetics. These retrofits reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs and breathe new life into these architectural treasures, ensuring that they continue to shine brightly for generations to come.
