Lighting trends for 2027
Shapes, colours and materials interpreted in a fresh and contemporary way2027 is set to shake up lighting design. Lights are becoming larger, more colourful and more expressive – whilst showcasing a wide variety of facets. Airy, large-scale pieces seem to float almost weightlessly through the room; retro designs are given fresh colours and new proportions, whilst glass plays with transparency, reflection and a soft glow. At the same time, there is a growing appetite for plays that leave a lasting impression. Timeless forms, high-quality materials and carefully selected designs provide a grounding contrast. In 2027, expressive trends will meet understated essentials, bold colours will meet natural interiors, and nostalgic touches will meet contemporary design.

Large formats made easy
Light fixtures with a weightless, beautiful design are taking the living room by stormIn 2027, lighting design can be bold. Large pendant lights and light fittings take up space, yet appear surprisingly light. Soft, organic shapes, ethereal silhouettes and voluminous forms lend the designs an almost weightless presence. Cotton, linen and fibreglass enhance the airy feel. They add volume to the design without making the light fitting look too bulky. These sizes really come into their own above dining tables, in open-plan living areas or above spacious sofa arrangements.
Inspiration for the living room: These large light fittings look particularly stunning when deliberately paired with minimalist furniture, light colours and plenty of open space. The result is a fascinating interplay of scale and lightness, in which the light fitting becomes the unobtrusive focal point of the room.

Retro is getting an update
Nostalgia with colour and imaginationThe past meets the present: in 2027, retro won’t simply make a comeback – it will reinvent itself. Familiar shapes are combined with unusual proportions, fresh colours and modern details. The interplay between classic silhouettes and pastel shades, candy colours or vibrant orange is particularly exciting. Round lamp bodies, distinctive shades and striking details add a playful touch.
Here’s how to pull off the look: Rather than faithfully copying past decades, this trend takes individual elements and reinterprets them for the present day. This creates a retro look that feels familiar yet remains surprisingly fresh. That said, individual retro pieces can certainly provide a contrast to modern furniture and minimalist interiors. It is precisely this contrast that gives the look a contemporary feel.

Glass shows its sparkling side
Transparency meets colour and glowBy 2027, glass will become a genuine feel-good experience. The focus is not solely on the material of the lights, but on the fascinating interplay of light, transparency, colour and reflection. Grooved surfaces, fine glass rods, opalescent textures and coloured glass elements lend them a special depth. Transparent shades allow light to shimmer gently through the lamp body, whilst opal glass creates a softer, diffused effect.
How to achieve the look: Whether delicate and romantic in a modern romance style, bold and contemporary with a retro touch, or minimalist in classic shapes: glass can be combined in many different ways and adds stylish accents to your living spaces. The material looks particularly elegant when combined with warm white light, soft colours and, ideally, subtle metallic accents.

Black creates contrasts
Dark lights for striking roomsDark, precise and self-assured – black adds a sense of drama to lighting design. Providing a striking contrast, the darkest of all shades brings out the best in lighting designs and lends even the simplest designs a striking presence. The spectrum ranges from clear, geometric shapes to softly curved, organic silhouettes.
Home styling tip: Black really comes into its own in light and natural interiors. Beige and warm wood tones soften the colour’s harshness, whilst glass adds a sense of lightness and shiny chrome provides a modern touch. Even bold colours can appear even more intense when paired with black. In this way, the black light fitting becomes a deliberate counterpoint: it can ground a bright room, highlight a particular shape or serve as a striking focal point.

The essence of mood lighting
Timeless essentials for long-lasting enjoymentNot every trend has to be loud. In 2027, there will also be a growing desire for lights that last. Timeless spheres, classic shades, clean lines and high-quality materials reflect a more conscious approach to design. This isn’t about strict minimalism. What really counts is making a conscious choice: a shape that feels familiar, a material that feels good to the touch, a design that retains its appeal even after many years. Simple, much-loved pieces take the place of the perfectly styled look and bring a sense of calm and stability to the home.
Here’s how ‘essentials’ work in your rooms: As a counterpoint to the colourful and playful trends, ‘essentials’ are becoming increasingly important. They create a sense of calm and can be combined in a variety of ways – both today and tomorrow. In this way, timelessness itself becomes a form of modern design within your own four walls.
Make way for splashes of colour
These are the trend colours for 2027In 2027, colour will become more self-assured.

Materials ranging from painted metal and plastic to cotton and plaster each bring out the colours in their own unique way. In addition, warm, earthy colours ranging from brown to sand remain stylish additions to our homes.
