Next week marks the end of British Summer Time when the clocks go back on Sunday 26 October. The nights are starting to creep in, and spooky season is almost upon us – which means the “-ber” months are officially in full swing. From crisp, dark mornings to cosy evenings spent curled up indoors, your home lighting does more than brighten a room – it sets the tone for the season.
This A/W25, interiors are all about mood, colour and film revivals, and lighting has leaned right into these trends. We’ve rounded up our favourites and broken down five easy-to-follow themes that will light up your home in all the right ways this autumn:
Stand-out pendants
“Go big or go home” definitely applies to this trend. Statement ceiling lights are taking centre stage for A/W25 – whether it’s the Kochi lampshade with its beautifully organic design that creates a striking look above the dining table, or the Kashmir porcelain lampshade with its intricate pinhole pattern that adds instant style to any space. Lighting that turns heads and acts as the focal point of a room is where it’s at this season.
Blue hues
With the announcement of Dulux’s Colours of the Year 2026 – Mellow Flow, Free Groove and Slow Swing – a collection that spans a trio of soft to deep blues, comes a surge of indigo interiors. Whether through warm bulbs, coloured glass or new lighting pieces, this palette is perfect for bringing calm into the home – something we could all use a little more of over the next few months.
If you’re keen to create a cosy corner or need additional lighting for your work-from-home set-up, check out the Dinku table lamp, Ball lamp or Tulip lamp. Each features a handy adjustable head and fully embraces the clean, industrial look we love – now in these on-trend hues.
Cinematic lighting
Emerald Fennell’s take on Emily Brontë’s classic Wuthering Heights is set to hit cinemas next February, and we’re betting it’ll bring a new wave of 18th-century-inspired interiors. When it comes to lighting, think moody tones, warm glows and shapes that are truly timeless.
The Dolly table lamp fits this aesthetic perfectly with its carved, ornate base and plush boucle shade, bringing just the right amount of drama to a bedside table. Meanwhile, the Botanical porcelain lamp features a delicate, nature-inspired design that’s just as lovely with the light off as it is on. Its whimsical pattern pairs beautifully with the splendour of this era and is a must-have for those seeking timeless lighting that creates a homely, romantic atmosphere.
Spooky sparks
From eerie corners to full festive revamps, autumn through winter is the ideal time to play with lighting. Reflect the seasonal shift in your home, but keep it tasteful with soft flickers and artistic details. Tealights are perfect for this time of year: easy to dot around the home, full of magic and even more divine when paired with scented autumnal candles.
For a more refined take on Halloween styling (no cobwebs or dangling bats), the Lagoon table lamp strikes just the right balance. Its sculptural, almost ghoul-like green glazed base adds a subtle hint of seasonal dress-up while still feeling creative and timeless – the perfect way to embrace the eerie without going OTT.
Layered lighting
This isn’t just a trend – it’s a thoughtful, flexible way to light your home. Whether you’re winding down in the evening or hosting an intimate dinner, no one wants to sit under a harsh overhead spotlight. The key is to create a soft, considered ambience using a mix of lighting sources dotted around your space.
A floor lamp like the Tallie is perfect for providing a gentle glow from behind the sofa. The Alina table lamp – a compact, Japanese-inspired design – works beautifully on bedside tables or desks, casting a soft glow without overpowering the room.
