Trend Alert: Cordless Lights

Have you ever been in a situation where you’d like to put a table lamp, but there are no electrical outlets nearby? It can be a frustrating predicament when you’re trying to make a space feel like home.

One way we like to solve this issue at Innovatus Design is by using cordless lamps!

This Trend Alert focuses on Cordless Lights as we share our top design tips and considerations to take into account when considering this type of lighting in your home. Let’s take a closer look!

Why we love cordless lights!

We love anything that will make our clients’ lives easier, and cordless lights fall into that category! Having the flexibility of moving or adding extra lighting when required can be a lifesaver.

I love how there are lots of different types of cordless lights available now, as this makes adding flexibility even easier into the home! Whether it’s adding in more table lamps to a living room, or having a flexible desk lamp in the home office, cordless lights are fantastic for having in your back-pocket. Cordless lights can be battery operated or rechargeable so there is something for everyone.

How to use cordless lights 

Cordless lights can be used anywhere in the home! Wherever you need an additional light source and you haven’t got an outlet nearby – use a battery operated or rechargeable light instead. 

What to watch out for with cordless lights

As with any interior design trend, there are some considerations to take into account when thinking of using cordless lights in your home…

While it may be tempting to only have cordless lights in your home, they can be costly in batteries. In addition, you may become tired of always having to remember to recharge your lights!

We recommend having cordless lights only when necessary.

Ways to make cordless lights last in your home

A cordless light can last many years in your home!

It all depends on which manufacturer you choose for your cordless light fixture. Always read reviews where possible, and ensure the specifications of the light fixture matches your expectations.

Make sure you know how many hours of use you can get from one charge of the light for example.

We love designing lighting schemes here at Innovatus Design. We also carry several amazing lighting lines and love to help our clients find the perfect fit. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have an interior design question or would like help with your remodel! We work in person in the greater Chicagoland area and offer virtual design services across the U.S.!
