Spaces that shine with purpose: lighting as the cornerstone of well-being in the home
Vintage-inspired lighting, smoked glass, industrial aesthetics, metal fusion, curved designs and organic materials such as rattan, bamboo and recycled wood are leading the trends that are transforming the way homes are lit. Light is no longer just a functional element, but a key tool for wellbeing and personal expression.
Lighting is one of the major players in interior design. Homes are not only looking for beautiful lamps, but also need atmospheres, experiences and solutions that dialogue with architecture and well-being. In 2026, trends point to warmer, more sustainable and technologically advanced spaces.
In this regard, smart lighting will continue to increase its presence in most new homes, in addition to the incorporation of high-efficiency LED lighting, a technology that significantly reduces energy consumption. According to data from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge (MITECO), replacing incandescent and halogen bulbs with LEDs, which use up to ten times less power and offer a ten times longer lifespan, means energy savings of more than 80%.
Natural materials and biophilic design
The quest to connect interiors with nature is one of the most sought-after trends among interior designers. It is no coincidence that the latest collections are focusing on certified wood, raffia, jute, handmade ceramics and recycled glass. This return to authenticity translates into lamps that bring texture, warmth and serenity to spaces.
Biophilic design is emerging as a response to the need for more welcoming and balanced homes, in tune with styles such as Mediterranean, Japandi, and slow living environments. Lamps that filter light, cast soft shadows, and create relaxed atmospheres are are becoming key pieces in decorative projects.
Shapes and styles that define the year
In decoration, the lamp is no longer an accessory but has become the focal point of the space. Designs with curves and organic shapes that soften the atmosphere are all the rage, as are sculptural light fixtures that function almost like gallery pieces. Warm metals—matt brass, brushed copper—add sophistication, while translucent shades, gradient effects and textured glass create enveloping and dynamic atmospheres.
The combination of different materials and finishes reinforces the handcrafted character and adds personality to each room, adapting to contemporary interiors as well as industrial or vintage-inspired spaces. Intergift will bring together proposals that combine design, innovation and sustainability, with the aim of providing key inspiration and anticipating the styles, materials and solutions that will shape the spaces of tomorrow.
