Trending lamps 2025: the right light, room by room

You don't choose a trending lamp for 2025 based on style, but on the room and how it's used. Three points to check before buying: mounting height, colour temperature and protection rating. A table lamp in 2700 K for a reading corner, a pendant above the dining table, a wall light to free up floor space.

What are the lamp trends for 2025?

Shape wins over colour. Rounded volumes, glass globes and slim stems are replacing cylindrical shades. Black remains the most commonly listed finish on our product pages, but it's the silhouette that sets the look. A lamp stands out when it's off just as much as when it's on.

Trending table lamp 2025: shape before colour

A glass globe, a brushed metal ball or an arc base changes the look of a piece of furniture without any renovation. The shade comes second: in a contemporary interior, a white lamp and a black lamp produce the same effect if the silhouette is right. Our design lighting brings together the rounded volumes and slim stems that will hold up through the year.

• Globe and ball: light spreads in every direction, with no harsh shadows on the wall
• Glass: the most commonly listed material on our product pages, 42% of a survey of 110 references
• Lampshade: keep it below eye level, never directly in front of your eyes
• Slim base: frees up the top of the side table

The detail comes down to the material that diffuses the light. Smoked glass or woven rattan changes the colour of the light on the wall. Our trending table lamp shows these differences on specific models.

Trending bedside lamp 2025: small size, big effect

On a narrow bedside table, small format wins: a discreet base and a compact globe light up your book without flooding the bedroom. Placed at shoulder height, the bedside lamp lights just what's needed, and the rest of the room stays dark.

The models rising this year pair an opaque sphere with a brass neck, or a woven rattan shade. White and black dominate, while gold and pink are gaining ground. For the rest of the calendar, our article on the trending lamp 2026 takes over.

What are the on-trend light fittings, room by room?

An on-trend light fitting is judged in the room where it lives, never in a catalogue photo. The living room, bedroom and dining room each call for different heights and different families. Here are the three configurations that come up most often among our customers.

Which light fitting for the living room?

The living room supports three sources: one on the ceiling, one on the floor, one on a piece of furniture. The overhead source sets the mood, the lower one is for reading. If you're looking for the light point that structures the room, a chandelier above the coffee table does the job.

• Pendant or ceiling light: general lighting, with adjustable intensity
• Floor lamp: placed behind the shoulder of the armchair
• Table lamp: on the console or sideboard
• Wall light: to light a wall without taking up floor space

The floor lamp remains the easiest piece to add to an already furnished living room. Our article on the trending floor lamp 2025 details the stem heights and shades that work.

Which light fitting for the bedroom?

The bedroom needs little light, but well placed. A soft central source is enough if both sides of the bed have their own light point. It's the room where the protection rating matters least, and where colour temperature matters most.

• Two sources on each side of the bed, never just one in the centre
• Wall light or low bedside lamp: light at reading height
• Dimmer: intensity goes down in the evening
• 2700 K everywhere, to avoid the white light that wakes you up

Which light fitting for the dining room?

The dining room is set up around the table, not the room. A pendant centred on the tabletop, lowered to 75 cm above the table, lights faces without glare. The longer the table, the more you multiply the light points rather than enlarging a single one.

• One pendant for a table seating four to six
• Three small pendants in a row above a large tabletop
• A chandelier if the ceiling volume allows
• Dimmer to go from dinner to evening

Tubular shapes and smoked glass are the stars this year, as our trending pendant 2025 shows.

Which lamp should you put in a living room?

Three layers, not three chandeliers: general light, accent light, feature light. Each has its own height and colour. This method avoids the single ceiling light, which flattens the room and tires you out in the evening.

At what height should each source be placed?

Height determines use. A wall light goes between 1.10 and 1.20 m from the floor, just above a headboard or a worktop. A living room pendant comes down to 2.10 m to let taller people pass underneath.

• Wall light: 1.10 to 1.20 m, below eye level
• Passage pendant: at least 2.10 m from the floor
• Table pendant: 75 cm above the tabletop
• Reading floor lamp: shade at shoulder height when seated

The trending ceiling light 2025 keeps its place in low-ceilinged rooms, provided you choose a slim one and vary it. A flat LED ceiling light works better than a multi-arm model in a standard-height living room.

After installation comes the question of the surface: a hollow wall needs a suitable fixing, a concrete ceiling needs an expansion plug. Installers working across several sites use our trade space to prepare their installation in advance.

If you'd rather confirm your choice with someone who knows the room and the wall in question, the team answers directly from the ask the workshop for advice page.

Which colour temperature should you choose?

Warm white remains the safe choice in a living room or bedroom. 2700 K leans amber and relaxes; 3000 K stays warm but crisper; 4000 K shifts into neutral white and hardens faces. Our guide on white or yellow light details each value.

• 2700 K: bedroom, reading corner, dinner
• 3000 K: living room, hallway, open kitchen
• 4000 K: office, worktop, workshop
• One single value per room, to avoid patches of colour

The third layer is often added afterwards, when the room is already furnished. A project to renovate the living space usually starts from this observation: the ceiling point was there before the furniture.

What our product pages say

In a survey of 110 references from our catalogue as of 28 September 2026, suspended mounting appears on 46% of the 102 listings that declare this field, wall-mounted on 18% and table-mounted on a smaller share. The new arrivals collection also counts 36,758 references on the same date.

Mounting and protection rating

In the same survey, the IP20 rating is declared on 89% of the 110 listings. In other words, most of our catalogue is aimed at dry rooms. For a bathroom or a terrace, you need to aim for IP44 and above.

• IP20: dry room, living room, bedroom, dining room
• IP44: damp room, bathroom, basement
• IP65: outdoors, terrace, facade
• Suspended: the largest family in our catalogue

Materials, colours and warranty

Glass appears on 42% of the 78 listings that declare the material, LED technology on 51% of the 56 listings that declare it, and black on 35% of the 97 listings that declare a colour. The 3-year warranty is carried by 71% of the 110 listings surveyed.

How to check your choice before confirming?

Five checks are enough: height relative to use, temperature in kelvins, IP rating depending on the room, compatibility with the dimmer and the bulb base. The Google listing for our Vaulx-en-Velin workshop remains available online to locate the address and check the welcome on site.
