Lighting is often one of the final things to be considered when redecorating your home, but in fact, it’s one of the most important aspects you need to focus on. The right lighting can bring illumination, warmth and atmosphere to your home. The wrong lighting can make your room feel stark, bare and overly bright - or dingy and unwelcoming.
We’ve gone through our 2022 interior design trends to choose our favourite home lighting trends to inspire you. From modern and chic to retro and charming, we have trend lighting to suit all tastes. Illuminate your home this year with stylish pieces and make accent lighting the focal point of your home.
Read on for 7 lighting trend ideas for the home.
1. Copper & Rose
Copper and rose gold hues have been top of the interior trends list for some time now - and for good reason. Offering a slightly softer version of a metallic hue, this trend embraces all kinds of shapes and designs in warm, rich tones. Shiny metals meet matte textures to illuminate your home with a cosy feel. Contrast it with deep, dark hues for a striking look or team it with softer pastels for a fun, feminine style.
2. Dark & Moody
Sometimes it’s fun to be dramatic - and lighting can be a great way to bring a sense of drama into your home. Perfect for accent lighting to set the mood, dark and moody lights play with shadows to give depth to your interior. Smoked glass, industrial metals and vintage bulbs all play a part in this effortlessly cool lighting style. Stick to rich, deep hues in the rest of your interior for an ultra-luxe feel.

3. Geometric Glamour
It’s all about playing the angles when it comes to geometric lighting. This trend embraces all kinds of different styles, from Art Deco to industrial, retro to Scandi. All the pieces in our geometric lighting collection combine shapes and materials for a striking graphic effect. Perfect for adding a statement piece to your home, they look great in sleek, modern interiors.
4. Scandi Style
Focusing on the use of natural, tactile materials such as wood and canvas, our Scandi lighting collection has some real gems on offer. Neutral tones look great in almost any interior; subtle shades blended in natural materials add warmth and style to your home. Or why not go for a pop of colour to add a focal point?
5. Gold Fever
There’s a reason gold is still considered one of the most valuable materials money can buy. There’s something about its rich hue that just entices you. Plus, it’s incredibly versatile. Gold lighting looks incredible when teamed with a modern, monochrome palette with luxe materials such as marble, leather and glass. Or it can add a metallic gleam to a Boho-style interior when combined with bright, warm colours and plush fabrics like fleece, wool or velvet.

6. Boho Chic
Boho interiors are all about texture. Think about mixing and matching pieces that bring tactile elements to your home - and it’s no different when it comes to lighting. Woven shades made from bamboo or macrame feature heavily in Boho lighting trends. They create delicate shadows, offering depth and atmosphere to your room, with a soft and playful touch. Boho interiors often feature a lot of colour, so the key with Boho lighting is to keep your palette neutral.

7. Gorgeous Glass
Glass is one of our favourite materials as it’s such a versatile medium - so it’s little wonder that glass has made it into our top 7 lighting trends for 2022. Whether you choose opaque, smoked, coloured, textured or hand-blown glass, you’ll find this material is perfect for all kinds of interior designs. Chic, modern styles look great in industrial-style or Scandi-style homes while textured and coloured glass lights find their place in Boho, cosy or Cottagecore interiors.
