Our Top Luxury Lighting Recommendations For Your Home

Indoor lighting plays an essential role in home interior design. Thoughtful illumination can truly transform a room’s mood and atmosphere, creating a functional yet inviting space. Tailoring lighting to each individual room is essential as each room serves a different purpose, and we seek a different experience from it. 

In this guide, we’ll explore the top luxury lighting trends for 2025, highlighting how lighting needs differ from room to room and providing expert recommendations to elevate your home.

Bathroom

Starting with one of the most frequently used rooms in the house, the bathroom is often the first place we visit in the morning and the last place at night. That’s why creating the right environment is crucial, as it sets the tone for the start and end of your day.

Bathrooms require bright general lighting that illuminates the room for general tasks such as brushing our teeth or taking a shower without struggling to see. That said, no one wants to take a bath in bright light. Creating a relaxed ambience for relaxing and unwinding is equally as important.

To achieve this balance, having various lighting options to choose from enables you to adapt the environment to your needs. A central pendant light is often ideal for creating a well-lit environment for everyday tasks. However, additional wall-mounted lights are perfect for the moments when you want to create a more ambient atmosphere. Glass lampshades add to a timeless and luxurious aesthetic that enhances the grandeur of your bathroom while offering shadow-free light to the face.

In addition to general lighting, consider adding focused lighting near mirrors, especially those designed specifically for bathrooms. Mirror lights, often integrated with LED strips around the edges are ideal for tasks requiring precision. Our LED Bathroom Mirror offers a diffused border and a 4000K natural white LED for a bright but comfortable light with a sleek, modern appeal.

Bedroom

Bedrooms should always feel like your safe haven, where you prepare for the day and unwind after it. Bedrooms require versatile lighting, with a bright setting for getting ready in the morning but dimmer lighting for creating a calm and relaxing environment that is conducive to rest and sleep.

Integrating spotlights into joinery adds a touch of luxury to the bedroom. If you have a bespoke wardrobe, installing a few spotlights into the cupboards can make dressing feel like a truly elegant experience rather than a chore.

Installing wall-mounted lights on either side of the bed also creates a hotel-like atmosphere. Having two symmetrical light fixtures like these gives the room a balanced appearance while providing ample lighting for reading or other relaxing activities.

Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the rooms that require the most indoor lighting, but careful attention should be paid to complement the layout of your kitchen. The kitchen should be both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Start by working out which areas of the kitchen need the most light, such as the countertops, the stove and the sink, where you do the majority of your cooking tasks. 

For these areas, you might want to opt for downlighting, as it provides targeted lighting. However, we recommend avoiding downlighting in other parts of the kitchen, as it can cast unflattering shadows and create a harsh atmosphere.

If you have a kitchen diner or an open-plan kitchen, you might need several overhead light fixtures for even light coverage and to avoid dark spots. Recessed spotlights, spaced approximately one metre apart, are a popular choice for these spaces. 

A common mistake people often make with downlights is installing too many, making the lighting look cluttered and chaotic. The amount you require will depend on the size and layout of your room, but we recommend adding no more than ten.

Between the scattered spotlights, you can also incorporate several ceiling pendant lights or a single chandelier for a refined look. These fixtures create a sophisticated look without overwhelming the space.

Dining Room

Lighting plays a crucial role in creating the right ambience for social gatherings. If the dining room’s sole purpose is to be a space for entertaining guests, you should choose luxury lighting, making it the centrepiece of the room. Begin by investing in a statement chandelier to hang above the dining table, creating a central focal point that adds interest and drama to the room. 

This chandelier will provide ample lighting for wining and dining experiences, but remember to use warm bulbs or consider a chandelier with small lampshades to ensure the light remains soft and inviting rather than being harsh on the eyes.

If you have a particularly long dining room table, you might want to consider the ‘rule of three’. Hanging a trio of evenly-spaced pendant lights above the table gives the room a visually appealing balance. This technique is particularly effective for open-plan kitchen diners, as the trio of lights helps visually divide the space while maintaining a light and airy feel.

Hallway

The hallway is the first look a guest gets into your home, so its interior shouldn’t be overlooked. During the day, natural light may provide sufficient brightness but thought should be given to indoor lighting in the evening.

To create a warm and welcoming atmosphere in the hallway, we recommend sticking to warm ambient lighting. A decorative overhead pendant provides soft illumination, while a staircase chandelier adds an unmistakable touch of luxury to your home. Our 3-Light Cluster chandeliers create an eye-catching focal point with its three satin nickel and amber glass lights, which are guaranteed to capture your guest’s attention as soon as they step in the door.

Recessed spotlights can also be added to the ceiling or along the staircase for an understated lighting fixture that adds to the design of your hallway.

Living Room

The living room is often considered the heart of the home, somewhere you can kick your shoes off at the end of the day and curl up on the sofa. Although creating a cosy and warm atmosphere is essential, it’s also important to have a variety of lighting options to cater to different activities. Start by considering your general lighting. Directional downlights with dimmer switches offer flexibility, enabling you to adjust the brightness level to your needs.

To enhance the living room further, introduce several alternative ambient lighting products that can be used in the evenings. Position lamps or floor lamps next to bookshelves or install wall-mounted lights above paintings or frames. This helps to illuminate key decor items in the room without making the space feel too bright. 

Our Aged Bronze Floor Lamp brings a warm, elegant glow to your cosy living room. Featuring a ribbed champagne glass lampshade, it diffuses light beautifully, creating a soft and inviting ambiance. The aged bronze accents add a touch of timeless sophistication, blending seamlessly with both classic and contemporary interiors.
