6 lighting trends to get you through the clock change

As British Summer Time ends this Sunday (2am, Sunday 27thOctober 2024). don’t be kept in the dark – brighten up your home with the latest autumn/winter lighting trends.

The right lighting can highlight your home’s best features. As Thea Babington-Stitt at Ideal Home puts it, “Lighting has the chance to completely transform a space and, in many cases, a light is just as important when it’s not in use as it is when switched on, thanks to the power of design.”

Here are the latest lighting trends that will illuminate homes this season:

Retro living

Retro design is making a comeback. This style is all about blending eclectic shapes, textures and colours to create a truly unique scheme. Our Ball lamp, with its curved shape and (almost) avocado colour, effortlessly captures this groovy aesthetic.

Colour of the moment

Dulux has revealed its Colour of the Year for 2025 – True Joy™. As the name suggests, this shade radiates joy and brings a burst of sunshine into your home when it’s needed most. The Bell lamp, with its dome-shaped metal shade and rubberwood base, is a perfect way to introduce this vibrant hue into your décor.

Quiet luxury

Understated luxury is timeless. This trend, also prominent in the fashion world, isn’t going anywhere in 2024 lighting. It’s about merging simplicity with intricacy – grandeur without excess. The Tana lamp, for example, is both space-saving and stylish. It works beautifully as a reading light beside your armchair or as a statement piece in the corner of your living room. Its versatile design, complete with a handy shelf, provides a warm, inviting glow while remaining practical.

Earthy and natural

Nature continues to inspire lighting trends for autumn/winter 2024. Think organic shapes, earthy tones and materials like wood, cork and stone, along with woven fabrics like rattan. The Cadiz lamp, with its minimalist and natural design, is a great fit for any lounge, bedroom or dining room. Cotton shades, such as our Verne balloon pendant shade, are also a simple, fun and budget-friendly way of revamping a room.

Industrial chic

All hail the industrial revolution – this style has been popular for many years and continues to be to this day. The Beru floor lamp, which blends sleek metal with warm rubberwood finished in a walnut stain, combines style and versatility. Whether you’re brightening a workspace or creating a cosy reading nook, its adjustable shade allows you to control the direction of light for perfect illumination.

Sculptural lighting

Turn your lighting into a work of art. The delicate Frieze lamp, made from porcelain, is just as lovely with the light off as it is on. Its elegant patterns creates a beautiful ambience, perfect for cosy nights in. The Lagoon table lamp is another standout. Its cotton shade pairs with a porcelain base in a blue glaze, offering a striking contrast that blends beauty and function.
