One of the quickest ways to refresh a space and add personality is with statement lighting. We’re seeing and using bolder shapes, warmer finishes, and pieces that feel like art. Whether you’re finishing a kitchen renovation or just want to update your entryway, there’s a statement pendant or chandelier trend that will speak to your style. Here are a few lighting trends I’m loving this year.
Sculptural Silhouettes
Lighting goes beyond the functional to become a focal point that can define a space. We’re seeing more sculptural designs that feel like art—think organic curves, asymmetrical arms, and playful geometry. These pieces elevate any rooms, whether over a dining table or on a living room side table.
Design Tip: Pair sculptural lighting with minimal furnishings to let the fixture shine.
Natural Textures
Woven rattan, aged brass, wood beading, and even linen-wrapped chandeliers are having a moment. These materials bring a layered, textural feel that’s warm and inviting—perfect for coastal or organic modern interiors.
Design Tip: Try a woven pendant over a kitchen island or breakfast nook to soften modern cabinetry and add warmth.
Oversized Fixtures
Large-scale pendants and dramatic chandeliers are making a big impact. They add drama and intention to high ceilings or open-concept spaces. Oversized doesn’t have to mean over-the-top—it can be sleek and minimal, too.
Design Tip: Don’t be afraid to go larger than you think, especially in open spaces—scale makes all the difference.
Mixed Metals
Gone are the days of sticking to just one metal finish. This year, we’re seeing combinations of polished nickel, matte black, and brushed brass all in one piece. The result? Fixtures that feel both timeless and modern.
Design Tip: Coordinate mixed-metal lighting with cabinet hardware or faucet finishes to create a curated, layered look.
Vintage-Inspired Glam
Think mid-century modern meets old Hollywood. We’re seeing a revival of globe lights, fluted glass, and crystal elements—but in more refined, minimal silhouettes. It’s glam with restraint, and it adds just the right amount of sparkle.
Lighting is the jewelry of your home—it reflects your personality and sets the mood. Whether you’re into warm natural textures or bold sculptural pieces, there’s a lighting trend in 2025 that can help your space feel fresh and current. Don’t be afraid to make a statement—it’s often the unexpected piece that brings a room together.
