While many media outlets have questioned the presence of fashion trends this summer, in terms of interior decoration, we have seen several best-sellers. Indeed, Instagram has shifted its focus away from looks and other colors in its algorithm to highlight – to say the least – several lighting fixtures that have recently sparked passions. From the living room to the bedroom, warm orange tones have slipped in through design and retro silhouettes. It’s a fact, now more than ever, the lamp becomes the centerpiece of our decor.
The lamp: more than ever the centerpiece of your interior
It’s a fact, after striped bedding, lighting fixtures are the new accessories to adopt to elevate your interior decor, but also your mood!
Design for all budgets
While designer lamps have often been out of budget (hello Pipistrello), in recent months, much more accessible models have been highlighted. This explains the success of the trend!
Indeed, we find at the forefront of this vibrant movement a bedside lamp starting at around twenty euros (FADO – IKEA). This attractive price also explains that decor enthusiasts can afford to place them throughout their home to transform it into a cozy cocoon. Whether as a bedside lamp, ceiling light, wall sconce, or simply placed on a coffee table, the designer lamp reveals itself as a true piece of art, in addition to providing its source of light.
Embrace retro vibes in your interior
The first common point among the various lighting fixtures flooding Instagram Reels: their retro silhouette. Here, rounded lines are a must! Spherical models, half-bubbles, or even ones resembling glowing donuts (VARMBLIXT – IKEA, 2023) are back and promise a true journey through time. (So close to bringing back our lava lamp).
Additionally, alongside these 70’s inspired models, we find an essential from the early 2000s, namely: the rice paper ceiling lamp. Yes, it’s back. But beware, here, no green color or printed New York patterns. In 2025, we choose it in white or cream to embrace Scandinavian influences and slow living. However, while its hue is meant to be discreet, in terms of size, we aim for XXL to make it the centerpiece of a bedroom or living room.
Alongside the traditional paper sphere, we also find similar models to suspend, featuring more or less flattened shapes. And for those with larger budgets, the work of Isamu Noguchi continues to enchant design lovers, who particularly adopt the Akari 24N or 25N (+ €2,000) in their interiors.
The power of light
The second common point of these lamps is the hue and warmth of their light. Because yes, in addition to adding a polished touch to a room, a lamp helps create a certain ambiance. Recently, a relaxing and cozy atmosphere has been sought after.
As a result, warm lights, ranging from warm yellow to intense oranges, are favored. In addition to adding a cozy vibe to your interior, these lighting shades directly affect your well-being and mood. Regulating your system, they help calm you down and are also beneficial for helping you fall asleep. Thus, dimmable lamps and models mimicking sunrise and sunset are highly appreciated for adding an organic touch to the lighting.
And considering that we are arriving – already – at this time of year when the days are gradually getting shorter, our little finger tells us that these lighting fixtures will continue to assert themselves in our interiors for the months to come… Start your search for your future lamp on Modalova now!
