Lighting Trends for Autumn 2023
As autumn 2023 arrives, it brings with it a fresh wave of lighting trends that are set to transform our homes into cozy, stylish sanctuaries. With the days growing shorter and the nights becoming longer, lighting takes on an even more crucial role in setting the mood and atmosphere of our living spaces.
Our lighting expert, Judy Davison, explores the latest lighting trends for autumn 2023, helping you stay ahead of the curve and create a warm and inviting ambiance in your home.
Nature-Inspired Designs
This autumn, lighting trends are leaning heavily into nature-inspired designs. Think fixtures that mimic organic shapes and materials like wood, stone, and glass. Pendant lights with wooden accents or chandeliers adorned with leaves and branches are perfect examples of this trend. These nature-inspired pieces bring the warmth and beauty of the outdoors inside, creating a harmonious connection with the season.
Check out the Joshua Collection by David Hunt Lighting where you'll find a range of high-quality lighting products, all designed and crafted by this renowned British lighting brand. The Joshua Collection is a stunning range of lighting fixtures that are sure to add style and elegance to any room in your home. With designs like the double wall light with shade combining a modern contemporary look with an organic botanical feel.
Artisanal and Handcrafted Pieces
Autumn 2023 is all about embracing the artistry of handcrafted lighting. Look for fixtures that showcase the skill and craftsmanship of artisans. Hand-blown glass pendants, hand-carved wooden lamps, and ceramic sconces with unique glazes are just a few examples. These one-of-a-kind pieces add a touch of authenticity and personality to your space.
Again, the David Hunt range of lighting meets this brief perfectly as all of their unique designs are made in their artisan workshop in the Cotswolds where they have been creating handcrafted pieces since the 1890’s. See the full David Hunt range here.
Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Choices
As the world becomes increasingly eco-conscious, sustainable lighting options are gaining popularity. LED lighting, which is energy-efficient and long-lasting, continues to be a top choice. Additionally, look for fixtures made from sustainable materials like bamboo, recycled glass, and reclaimed wood. Not only do these choices reduce your environmental footprint, but they also add a touch of natural elegance to your home.
Our Dyberg Larsen lighting range, based in Denmark, are renowned for their very popular Pineapple range for which they consider all aspects of design from using the best materials to design features and sustainability. Since starting with the Pineapple range, they have expanded to included complementary products like the floor lamp and table lamp, available in many sizes and colours.
The Illumin range is a self-assembly creation and comes flat pack. It’s very sturdy and easy to assemble. Over time you can change the look of your light by purchasing new leaves to add to the existing cable and lamp holder, which keeps the cost to the environment minimal.
Geometric and Minimalist Designs
For those who prefer a modern and minimalist aesthetic, geometric lighting fixtures are gaining popularity. Clean lines, simple shapes, and bold angles define this trend. Consider linear pendant lights, hexagonal wall sconces, or minimalist table lamps to add a contemporary touch to your autumn decor.
The där lighting brand is one of the best-known designers and distributors of lighting for the home in the UK. Their design team create exceptional, original lighting designs that add individuality, excitement and ambience to any home, inside and out, big or small.
If minimalist, geometric style is what you’re looking for is the där lighting Ilario Small Star glass pendant which features a warm and glowing antique brass finish.
Vintage and Retro Revival
Nostalgia is in the air this autumn, and vintage and retro lighting styles are making a comeback. Look for fixtures inspired by mid-century modern, art deco, or industrial design. Vintage-inspired bulbs with filament designs are also a popular choice for creating a warm and cozy atmosphere reminiscent of days gone by.
The Stowe collection from David Hunt Lighting is a call back in time with some exciting retro fittings. For example, the Stowe Triple Bar fitting comes with a choice of glass and is a great way to adapt the fitting to a particular design; use vintage bulbs to add to the look.
Mixing Metals
Don't be afraid to mix and match different metal finishes in your lighting fixtures. Combining brass, copper, and matte black finishes can create a layered and dynamic look that adds depth to your decor. Mixing metals allows you to experiment with various textures and tones, giving your space a unique and inviting character.
Meeting this brief, is our range of metallic lighting products from Metal Lux, a company located in the heart of the Veneto lighting district that has proudly reached the milestone of 50 years of history. It produces light fittings according to a deep-rooted lighting tradition and uses only 100% Made in Italy raw materials, from production to distribution.
One of our favourite is the Astro 12 Light Bar Chandelier which is a very glamorous and modern chandelier.
