Lighting has evolved far beyond its practical function of illumination. In 2025, lighting design in the UK is all about creating atmosphere, supporting wellbeing, and embracing sustainability. At Amos Lighting, we are proud to be at the forefront of these exciting trends, offering expert lighting solutions that bring both beauty and function into homes and commercial spaces across the South West and beyond.
In this blog, we explore the most important lighting trends currently shaping UK interiors and exteriors, and how you can incorporate them into your own spaces.
1. Sustainable Lighting Solutions for Eco-Conscious Homes
One of the most significant lighting trends in the UK for 2025 is the shift towards sustainable and eco-friendly lighting. Homeowners and designers are actively seeking lighting options that not only reduce energy consumption but also minimise environmental impact.
At Amos Lighting, we are seeing a growing demand for fixtures made from renewable, recyclable, and responsibly sourced materials such as bamboo, rattan, and recycled glass.
Sustainable lighting is about more than just energy efficiency; it reflects a growing consciousness around the lifecycle of products, how they are made, and their long-term impact on the environment. By selecting lighting made from eco-friendly materials, homeowners can make thoughtful choices that contribute to a greener future while still achieving exceptional style.

2. Layered Lighting for Functional and Flexible Living Spaces
Modern UK homes are multi-functional, requiring lighting that can adapt to different moods and activities. The trend for layered lighting is now essential in creating comfortable, flexible spaces that serve multiple purposes throughout the day.
At Amos Lighting, we recommend combining ambient lighting (ceiling lights), task lighting (reading lamps, under-cabinet strips), and accent lighting (wall lights, LED highlights) to achieve the perfect balance. Layered lighting not only improves practicality but also adds depth, warmth, and character to every room.
Carefully considered layered lighting allows homeowners to create zones within open-plan areas, define spaces with purpose, and easily shift from bright task lighting to cosy evening settings. It offers the flexibility to tailor the lighting to suit changing activities, whether it's working from home, entertaining guests, or simply relaxing.
3. Sculptural and Organic Lighting Fixtures
Lighting fixtures are no longer just accessories, they are statement pieces. In 2025, we are seeing a strong move towards sculptural, artistic lighting that doubles as visual centrepieces.
Designs inspired by nature, with flowing lines, asymmetrical forms, and tactile materials, are particularly on trend. Amos Lighting offers a curated selection of sculptural pendants and chandeliers that bring both elegance and a touch of the unexpected to contemporary spaces.
These artistic lighting pieces often feature soft, natural finishes such as matte ceramics, textured glass, and woven fibres, bringing warmth and a handcrafted aesthetic into homes. The unique shapes and textures add personality to interiors and serve as conversation starters, making them ideal for homeowners who want to make a bold design statement.
4. Warm Metallic Finishes and Vintage Revival
There is a continued resurgence of vintage-inspired lighting, especially fixtures that feature warm metallic finishes like brass, bronze, and copper. These materials add timeless appeal and a sense of craftsmanship to modern interiors.
At Amos Lighting, we are delighted to see this trend flourishing, as we offer many beautifully crafted lighting pieces that blend modern functionality with classic design influences. Vintage-style glass globes, brass wall lights, and aged metal pendants are some of our most requested pieces for 2025.
Warm metallic tones create a sense of intimacy and elegance, particularly when paired with soft, diffused light sources. This combination works beautifully in kitchens, dining rooms, and living spaces where a welcoming, lived-in feel is desired. By mixing contemporary lines with nostalgic finishes, homeowners can achieve a beautifully balanced design.
5. Biophilic Design and Natural Materials in Lighting
Biophilic design continues to be a major influence in 2025, with lighting fixtures playing a key role in bringing natural elements into interior spaces.
Lighting made from materials such as wood, stone, linen, and ceramic can create a calm, soothing environment that connects us to nature. At Amos Lighting, we offer a wide range of biophilic-inspired lighting options that contribute to a healthier, more balanced home.
This trend not only enhances visual appeal but also promotes wellbeing by reducing the harshness of artificial environments. Soft, diffused lighting combined with natural textures can help create restful spaces that feel grounded and harmonious. Whether it's a wooden table lamp in the bedroom or a stone pendant light in the kitchen, these touches of nature help to foster a sense of calm and connection.
6. Outdoor Lighting Trends: Discreet Illumination and Dark Sky Considerations
Outdoor lighting is also evolving, with low-profile designs becoming the go-to choice for UK gardens and patios.
Homeowners are increasingly seeking subtle garden lights, path markers, and integrated wall lighting that enhance safety and ambience without overwhelming the natural surroundings. Amos Lighting offers a selection of outdoor lighting that blends seamlessly with landscape design while providing reliable, energy-conscious illumination.
Discreet outdoor lighting not only highlights architectural features and garden pathways but also extends the enjoyment of outdoor spaces well into the evening. There is also a growing awareness of dark sky-friendly lighting options that minimise light pollution and preserve our ability to enjoy the night sky.

What’s Out: Harsh, Cold Lighting
As the lighting trends in the UK move towards warmth, sustainability, and wellness, harsh, cold lighting schemes are quickly falling out of favour. The focus now is on soft, layered, and human-centric lighting that supports comfort and lifestyle needs.
Bright, sterile lighting is being replaced with fixtures that provide a more inviting and customisable glow. Homeowners are embracing lighting that enhances relaxation, improves mood, and supports natural rhythms, making cold, clinical lighting a thing of the past.
