7 Luxury Lighting Trends for 2026: When Lighting Goes Beyond Illumination

As a new year approaches, Juliettes Interiors reveals their top five luxury lighting trends illuminating high end homes into 2026. 

From the opulence of art deco, to crafting something totally bespoke, 2026 lighting trends are all about elevating your interiors through personality and personalisation.

"2026 is all about utilising lighting as art." says Juliette Thomas, Founder and Creative Director of Juliettes Interiors. 

Whether you prefer an organic feel or want something bright and colourful, here are the top trends that’ll be lighting up luxury homes in 2026.

1. Create Cohesion with Multiplicity Lighting

Continuity creates calm, and multiplicity lighting is an increasingly popular way to achieve it in luxury interiors. By choosing a coordinated “family” of pieces (from statement chandeliers and pendants to wall lights, floor and table lamps), you create an effortlessly consistent look across the home, refined and considered, but not overtly coordinated.

Multiplicity lighting is particularly effective in large properties, where connecting spaces is essential to creating a sense of flow.

"Multiplicity lighting is one of the simplest ways to make a home feel immediately considered,” says Juliette. “When your lighting speaks the same design language throughout, it creates that quiet confidence you only get with truly luxurious interiors.”

2. Bring the Outdoors In With Biophilic Lighting

Biophilic lighting connects us to the outdoors through organic shaped fixtures featuring calming elements of the natural world, including waterfalls, woodland designs and cloud formations. 

"As our lifestyles increasingly revolve around harsh artificial lighting and screens, we’re seeing nature-inspired designs continue growing in popularity," says Juliette.

These lighting options nurture wellbeing, boost mood and transform a home into a sanctuary, promoting relaxation and restoration.

3. Embrace Your Uniqueness With Sculptural Fixtures

Many of Juliette's clients are breaking free of the lighting-above-furniture formula, instead opting for a truly unique look by suspending lighting from quirky angles. 

From asymmetrical wall clusters, to a constellation-like scattering of lights across the ceiling, sculptural lighting illuminates a room with movement and character. 

4. Art Deco Elegance, a Century On

Art deco has made a resurgence, with modern takes – or neo deco – combining the glamour of the 1920s with a contemporary twist worthy of the 2026.

"Modern art deco style takes a slightly quieter approach to what has traditionally been a flamboyant trend," explains Juliette. "But you can still expect geometric shapes, asymmetrical patterns and opulent pops of gold and crystal."

Art deco influence can be found across all luxury lighting options - from table lamps, through wall sconces, up to grand chandeliers - its timeless elegance lighting a room and elevating luxury interiors.

5. Personalise Your Space With Colour-Dosing

According to Juliettes, colour accenting is no longer reserved for accessories like cushions, throws and ornamental vases, as they’re increasingly being asked to incorporate colour through lighting.

Modern lighting trends are moving beyond the realms of white, cream and grey, stretching into every corner of the colour wheel. From the warmth of yellows and oranges, to the fresh feel of greens and blues, 2026 is the year to use coloured lighting to inject personality.

6. Mixed Materials

In 2026, we're ripping up the texture rulebook, and luxury interiors are embracing a more expressive approach to mixing materials. By pairing contrasting materials across furniture, accessories and lighting, we create richer, more dimensional spaces. From glass and metal to stone, leather and wood, these combinations add instant character and a sense of layered sophistication.

7. Creative Customisations and Bespoke Lighting

As clients become increasingly keen to highlight their own creativity in their interiors, personalised and bespoke furnishings are growing in popularity. Bespoke lighting is becoming ever more popular with luxury home owners wanting something unqiue. 

"A bespoke luxury lighting gives premium personalisation with expert execution," says Juliette. "At Juliettes Interiors, all of our items are customisable, so we can alter the size, shape, colour or finish of a piece to suit your space."

Some of Juliette’s clients are letting their artistic expression run completely free by designing bespoke lighting, something totally original. Using innovative AI technology to visualise a client’s dream concept, the brand then ensures the end design can be accurately brought to life by skilled artisans.
