This year, new lights are also setting new standards in the market. Unusual shapes, colors, and designs create significant wow effects in living spaces. myHOMEBOOK presents the lighting trends for 2025.
There’s a lot to see in the lighting market next year: new, familiar, but above all, original. Colors, shapes, and materials are becoming increasingly extravagant. myHOMEBOOK presents seven lighting trends for 2025 that can transform your home into an even more beautiful light.
Trend 1: Colorful Lights
Not only furniture but also lights can clearly sport bold colors this year. In 2025, this lighting trend will be particularly common in table and pendant lights. Bright red, vibrant yellow, grass green, or retro orange add pop accents, which noticeably bring more dynamism, humor, and vibrancy to hallways, kitchens, bedrooms, or living rooms. Besides light, statements are also being made here! Well, if that doesn’t bring good vibes into your home…
Trend 2: Chrome
Chrome lights regained popularity last year after the reflective metal finish was considered outdated in living spaces for many years. But the shine continues. Especially with large silver pendant or floor lamps–often in a globe design–rooms not only gain a stylish accent but also noticeably more brightness thanks to the material’s reflective effect.
Trend 3: Time for Reissues
This trend has already hinted at itself this year, but in 2025 it will gain even more momentum. Reissues, meaning the new or re-release of already known design products based on original designs, bring some lighting classics back into living spaces. Iconic designs like the famous Flowerpot by &Tradition in mushroom shape, once created by Danish designer Verner Panton, are more in demand than ever. Other manufacturers also offer popular models with distinctive shapes today in various colors and sizes.

Trend 4: Practical Battery-Powered Lights
Battery-powered lights will continue to gain traction in 2025. Popular reissues are often released by their manufacturers without cables. Coincidence? Probably not, as flexibility and mobility are in demand in all areas of life today–including living! Thus, this lighting trend for 2025 is not only extremely practical in everyday life, providing light where it’s needed. Most batteries are powerful enough to last twelve hours without any issues.
Trend 5: Lights Made of Paper or Textile
When it comes to the trend material for lights in 2025, the answer is not entirely clear. Both designs made of paper and textile are in high demand this year. The reason: increased environmental awareness. But also the gentle light cast, especially by lights with a lampshade made of fine, often even handcrafted paper, seems convincing. Additionally, those models with artfully folded shades often appear very artisanal. The design language ranges from simple to original–just like with textile lights. Equally aesthetic, elegant, and soft, the light falls through frames covered with cotton, linen, or even velvet.

Trend 6: Organic Light Forms
Geometric designs have established themselves in furniture and accessories in living spaces over the past years. But occasionally, there’s a departure from the norm. This is particularly noticeable with lights. Eccentrically “flowing” lampshades of pendant, wall, table, or floor lamps move through the room, adding more sophistication. The design can be classically round or oval, exaggeratedly curved, or simply in a wildly organic form–attention is guaranteed!
Trend 7: Lights as Artworks
Lights will increasingly become small (or large) artworks in the room. Whether on the ceiling, wall, sideboard, or floor, many inspiring creations are already in the starting blocks. Some designs are full of extravagance and come in their own unique form. Sometimes the light resembles a closed shell, sometimes more like a sculpture that could also stand in a museum. Wildly, different colors, shapes, materials, and modern manufacturing processes–such as lampshades from a 3D printer–are combined.
