Lighting Trend: Natural Materials Show Sustainability
The new lighting trend of using sustainable and natural materials continues to gain momentum in 2025, and lighting is no exception.
In the past, people have seen lamps made of natural materials such as wood, glass, bamboo, fabric, seagrass, leather and even paper. In 2025, we will see more lamps using hemp rope, rope, burlap and wooden beads. Imagine chandeliers made of beads and pendants made of rope and natural stone, which are rustic and stylish.
Natural materials are not the only way to express this new lighting trend. The shape of lamps also incorporates natural elements. Some lamps use vague tree shapes, chandeliers will feature beautiful marble, and chandeliers will use teardrop-shaped glass to bring the dynamic beauty of nature into the interior. This design is not only beautiful, but also in line with people’s current pursuit of environmental protection and sustainable living.
Retro trend: modern interpretation of classic lamps
In 2025, retro-style lamps have become a popular trend again, but they are not simple reproductions, but a new interpretation that incorporates modern design concepts and craftsmanship.
The classic lamp shapes that were once popular, such as Edison bulb-style chandeliers and wall lamps in the style of the mid-century, have been redesigned with better materials and more advanced manufacturing processes. While retaining the classic appearance, the durability and lighting effect of the lamps have been improved. For example, retro-style chandeliers are paired with modern LED light sources, which not only retain the retro charm, but are also more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.
In some retro-themed cafes, restaurants or nostalgic home spaces, these retro chandeliers have become a key element in creating the atmosphere, allowing people to enjoy the convenience brought by modern technology while feeling as if they were traveling back in time.

With so many shapes, materials, and colors, one thing is very clear about upcoming lighting trends: Go big and bold! Don’t be afraid to let your lamps and lighting take up space, lots of space. Let them grab attention. Don’t miss a chance to make a statement with your lighting.
To be sure, small task lighting, recessed lighting, and the like have their place—but take a look at your desk, island, entryway, or high ceilings and see if you can go a little bolder! For an easy update, swap out a lamp, pendant, or chandelier, and you’ll see a huge change instantly!
