Why floral light fixtures are trending this spring
“Floral lighting” is now searched nearly 50,000 times a month, on average, signifying a major interior design trend. As interest continues to bloom, more homeowners are embracing floral-inspired fixtures as a stylish alternative to other floral décor.
​
What’s driving this? Growing interest in floral lighting could be influenced by other décor trends such as biophilic design—a nature-inspired style that embraces soft, organic shapes—and cottagecore, which draws on rural country living with soft pastels and vintage influences.
​
Similarly, the resurgence of vintage style and maximalism has reignited a love affair with Tiffany lamps, now attracting over 22K searches per month on average, while searches for ‘floral Tiffany lamp’ have surged by 336% in the past year.
Matthew Currington of The Lighting Superstore, reveals how best to style floral light fixtures…
Choose a striking centrepiece
​
Statement lighting is like selecting a unique piece of artwork for your home, with its impact amplified by the dynamic interplay of light and shadow it creates. If you’re enamoured with florals, or feel like a spring refresh to your home, a floral or oversized leaf-inspired chandelier makes a striking focal point in a living or dining room.
​
Textured, natural fibre wallpapers will pair well, adding depth but also complementing the biophilic design influences behind the light’s organic shape.
Refresh your bedroom with florals
​
For a romantic, cosy atmosphere with a fresh feel, opt for floral bedside lamps. Gold accents add a touch of luxury, while pastels bring softness and a light, airy quality. Pair them with natural fabrics like linen or cotton for a relaxed yet elegant look.
​
Pick out an accent colour from the light fixture—whether it’s a soft blush, burnt auburn, or warm gold—and weave it into your soft furnishings, such as cushions, bed throws, or a statement rug, to tie the whole look together.
Elevate vintage or cottagecore charm
​
If you love the vintage look, or cottagecore is your latest obsession, an elegant, ornamental table lamp would pair beautifully on a wooden writing desk, side table or reading nook to bring an old-world charm that feels nostalgic and inviting.
​
Or, with Tiffany lamps back in hot demand, a floral Tiffany floor lamp set against the backdrop of an old home library, creates the quintessential reading retreat—warm, inviting, and timeless. Pair it with a well-worn leather armchair, rich wooden bookshelves, and soft, ambient lighting for a space that feels indulgent.
Transform your conservatory
​
For sunrooms, conservatories or garden rooms, floral light fixtures naturally enhance the indoor-outdoor feel of the space. Whether you’re planning to use this space as a tranquil retreat or a lively entertainment area, floral fixtures celebrate nature while adding warmth and character.
To create a cohesive indoor-outdoor aesthetic, pair floral pendant lights and botanical wall sconces with hessian or linen lampshades. Rattan furniture, natural textures and plenty of greenery will bring the look together beautifully. As the sun sets, its warm glow will enhance the tranquil atmosphere, further enriched by layered textures such as woven rugs, linen cushions, and wooden decorative accessories.
