For those looking to refresh their interiors, designers have identified several lighting trends expected to be prominent in 2025.
### Statement Floor Lamps
Pascale de Fouchier anticipates a return of bold, vintage-inspired floor lamps. She cites a preference for the oversized Romani floor lamp, known for its classical shape and modern finish, as a prime example of this trend.
### Stained Glass
Michelle Ficker from Studio Dorion notes a revival of stained glass lighting, with icons like Louis Comfort Tiffany influencing the trend. Ficker has her eye on a vintage 1950s table lamp, while a more affordable leafy design serves as a warm alternative.
### Monopoint Lighting
Allison Handler suggests that monopoint lighting will gain traction in 2025, allowing for either clustered fixtures or a spotlight effect on artwork or furnishings, providing decorative accents in spaces with limited height.
### Soft Materials
Chango’s creative director Susana Simonpietri highlights a growing use of materials like paper globes and fabric sconces. These softer accents can be layered or ruched, inviting a gentle illumination into rooms.
### Swag Lighting
Noz Nozawa emphasizes swag lighting as a key focus, showcasing flexibility in hanging lighting fixtures. Customizable installation of pendant lights on hooks allows for a personalized touch, with the Cerine Triple Pendant at the top of her wishlist.
### Arty Sconces
According to Jesse Rudolph and Joelle Kutner of Ome Dezin, sculptural lighting pieces that incorporate art into design will be increasingly popular. They suggest items like Blue Green Works' colored glass Palm Sconce, balancing artistic appeal with functionality.
### Perimeter Lighting
Designer Sam Sacks argues for a shift from over-lighting to perimeter lighting, recommending strategic placement of flush or semi-flush mounts for a softer ambiance in spaces, particularly kitchens.
### Pop of Color
Hilary Matt encourages bold, colorful lighting selections, especially in kitchens, suggesting the introduction of vibrant hues through pendant lights or unique table lamps.
### Organic Showstoppers
Lucia Bartholomew from Electric Bowery predicts a rise in sculptural lighting that emphasizes natural textures and forms, pairing these fixtures with materials like wood and stone for added intrigue.
### Playing with Scale
Zoë Feldman believes that manipulating scale will continue to create visual interest, advocating for the combination of large and small lighting elements for a striking effect in various settings.
### Ethereal Forms
Nick Ozemba, co-founder of In Common With, is drawn to ethereal lighting designs combining sculptural elements with soft, emotive light. This includes whimsical silhouettes and frosted shades that create a tranquil atmosphere.
### Sculpted Ceramics
Erin Lamey from LoBello Designs highlights the trend of artisanal ceramic lighting, recommending shoppers seek out handmade pieces that add an earthy, personal touch to contemporary spaces.
### Mid-Century Reboot
Lindsey Colhoun identifies mid-century style lighting as a significant trend, where the design serves as both functional and artistic statement pieces suitable for various areas of the home.
