As we look towards 2027, lighting is becoming a much bigger part of the overall design of our homes. Table lamps are becoming more sculptural, ceiling lights are making a statement, wall lights are adding character and even the humble lampshade is being used to bring colour, texture and pattern into a space.
The overall feeling? Softer, warmer and much more personal. From natural materials and expressive glass to earthy colours and beautifully decorative shapes, these are the lighting design trends we think will define 2027.
Sculptural Lighting
In 2027, your lighting needs to work just as hard when it is switched off as it does when illuminated. Curved arms, unusual silhouettes and oversized forms are turning lamps and ceiling lights into decorative pieces in their own right.
A sculptural table lamp can become the focal point of a console, while a statement pendant can anchor an entire dining space. Our Sorrel Black Metal Curved 5 Arm Pendant is a perfect example, using sweeping curved lines to create impact overhead. For a subtle glow on a console or sideboard, the Mira Putty Ceramic Table Lamp offers a contemporary, sculptural silhouette, balancing organic form with a quietly architectural presence.
Natural Materials
The move towards relaxed, nature-inspired interiors is continuing into lighting too. Look towards wood, rattan, jute, cork and natural fabrics. These materials introduce texture without making a room feel busy and work beautifully alongside warm neutrals and earthy colours.
Our Otaru Natural Jute Pendants and Avra Natural Rattan Pendants bring a lighter, more organic feeling overhead, while the Edgar Natural Cork Pendant offers something a little unexpected.
Natural materials are not limited to ceiling lighting either. Wooden table and floor lamps, linen shades and woven details can be mixed throughout a room to create a more layered, collected look.
Warmer Metallic Tones
While black metal still has a place in contemporary interiors, metallic finishes are becoming warmer. Antique brass, bronze and champagne gold add richness without feeling overly polished, making them particularly easy to mix with wood, ceramic and fabric.
The Mariana Matt Antique Brass and White Scallop Shaded Wall Light combines warm metal with a soft shade, while our Designers Guild Antique Brass Slim Floor Lamp Base offers a more minimal way to introduce the finish, with the opportunity to pair your own neutral or statement patterned lampshade.
Expressive Glass Forms
Clear glass will always be timeless, but 2027 lighting is showing a little more personality. Think ribbed surfaces, softly coloured glass, organic shapes and warm amber or brown tones.
The Sabrina Large Glass Pendants bring richer colour overhead, while the Athena Ribbed Glass collection uses texture to give glass a more decorative feel across pendants, table lamps and wall lighting.
For table lamps, organic glass shapes such as our Padrino Brown Organic Glass Bottle Table Lamp are another way to introduce this softer look. Glass works particularly well if you want statement lighting that still feels light and airy within the room.
Earthy Colour Schemes
Colour is definitely staying for 2027, but it feels calmer. We are seeing warm browns, olive and sage greens, clay, terracotta and softened blues becoming easier alternatives to traditional neutrals.
The Elise Olive Metal Bobble Table Lamp is an easy way to introduce muted green, while Elise Terracotta brings a warmer earth tone. For something deeper, the Mira Bitter Chocolate Ceramic Gourd Table Lamp taps into the continued love of rich brown interiors.
Colour can also come through the lampshade rather than the base, and with soft sage already being forecast as an important colour for interiors in 2027, nature-inspired tones look set to remain firmly on the lighting palette.
Find Your Lighting Style for 2027
The best thing about the lighting trends for 2027 is that there really isn't one look to follow.
Choose sculptural shapes if you want lighting to make a statement. Introduce wood, jute and linen for something relaxed and natural. Use coloured glass or patterned shades to add personality, or keep things timeless with warm metal and softly textured ceramics.
Most importantly, mix table lamps, floor lamps, pendants, ceiling lights, wall lights and shades to create a layered lighting scheme that works for the way you actually live.
