Trend Alert: Lighting with USB Charging

Here at Innovatus Design, we are huge advocates for good lighting throughout the home. After all, lighting can make or break a design! We also love anything that provides two uses in one, and today we’re going to be featuring a space-saving type of light fixture that everyone should have in their bedrooms! And that is Lighting with USB Charging! 

This Trend Alert focuses on Lighting with USB Charging 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 lighting with USB charging!

We love creating layered lighting schemes for our clients and providing them with flexibility when it comes to their lighting. You should be able to comfortably see everything at nighttime if you need to, and also create an intimate environment with lower light levels.

Lighting with USB charging helps to form part of the bigger picture. Having a table lamp that can also charge your phone or iPad is a practical and flexible solution for bedside lighting and home office lighting too!

Aside from their practicalities, lighting with USB charging is now available in lots of different finishes, styles, and designs! This means that there is something for everyone, and every design taste too. 

How to use lighting with USB charging 

Adding lighting with USB charging into your home is super easy! 

Simply swap out your table lamps for a design that features a USB charging point within the base. This could be in bedrooms, living rooms, or home offices!

What to watch out for with lighting with USB charging

There are some considerations to take into account when considering lighting with USB charging in your home…

While lighting with USB charging may seem like a fantastic idea, some cheaply made pieces on the market have slow charging or poor-quality materials. Always read reviews before purchasing lighting with USB charging.

Ways to make lighting with USB charging last in your home

Lighting with USB charging can last a lifetime in your home!

Always choose a timeless light fixture so that you will love it for many years to come, even if you change your color scheme. Consider where your light will be placed – is it for the bedroom or home office? In a home office you should consider a table lamp that has focused or angled shade for task lighting. While in the bedroom a normal table lamp with USB works extremely well.
