Lighting for the living room. Trends for autumn 2024

When autumn comes, the days grow shorter and we are more likely to spend our evenings in the comfort of our homes. The living room – the heart of the house – gains in importance, and the right lighting plays a key role in creating a cosy atmosphere. In 2024, lighting trends combine modern design, functionality and warm, natural materials that enhance relaxation and comfort. Here are the key trends to look out for.

Lighting for the living room. Trends for autumn 2024 - 1

Warm, natural light – colour temperature 
Warm light promotes relaxation, calms and creates a cosy atmosphere. It is perfect for long autumn evenings and makes time spent with a book or a hot cup of tea more pleasant. Whichever lamp model you choose, being able to choose the colour temperature in one of them is a must have. Kanlux BENO ECO is a modern ceiling-mounted light with a classic design. It has a "DIP-switch" inside the junction box, which allows you to customise the lighting according to your personal preferences. What is an added plus? The ECO in the name is there for a reason! The lamp is characterised by low energy consumption and high luminous efficacy (115 lm/W). This is an important aspect, especially in autumn and winter, when there is far less natural light and we do not want to raise our electricity bills.

Gold accents and natural materials 
One of the main trends in autumn lighting for the living room is gold finishes. This is a reference not only to the art deco style, but also to the typical autumn colours. Gold goes well with orange, brown or dark green. The interior appears more consistent with nature but also elegant. Kanlux SOLN LED is a luminaire in the modernist style – distinctive textures, shiny surfaces and gold accessories.
Want to go for something more timeless? Lamps made of natural materials fit into most interiors. Kanlux JASMIN C are round wooden pendant lamps. The light in them is diffused by elegant etched glass, thus softly enveloping the interior. You can choose from different sizes and colours of the luminaires. You can also complement them with wall lamps and ceiling-mounted lights to keep things cohesive.

 

Lamps with geometric shapes 
Modern lighting is increasingly moving away from traditional, simple forms. In autumn 2024, lamps with unusual, often geometric shapes will dominate, adding character and individuality to the interior. They will stand out because of the materials they are made of – concrete, grass, rattan, or felt are the new hits.  This type of lighting serves not only a practical function, but also an aesthetic one, becoming the focal point of the décor.
Which lamps are worth looking out for? Lamps made of concrete-like material! These luminaires will fit perfectly into modern, loft-like, raw interiors, but also into white, beige or grey minimalism. The porous coating in natural colour creates a unique and interesting effect. Check out Kanlux ETISSA and Kanlux OGIVA. 

 

Lightweight structures and minimalist design
Although geometric forms and unusual textures are eye-catching, lamps with lightweight, delicate structures are equally popular. Minimalism in lighting is a trend that has been around for several years, but this autumn it will become particularly subtle. Luminaires that are not playing first fiddle will be the ideal choice for those who value spaciousness and simplicity in their interiors. If you want the lights to be barely visible, opt for Kanlux BORD – the whole family (mini, tiny and standard version) works well wherever you need modernity and simplicity. There are several colour combinations to choose from. 

 

Layered lighting.
Another trend that is gaining in popularity is layered lighting, which involves combining different light sources in one room. In the living room, the combo of a main ceiling lamp with additional spot lighting, such as wall lamps, will be ideal. Additionally, the room can be equipped with a floor standing lamp and a table lamp. If this is still not enough, you can also add LED strips. Such multi-source illumination makes it possible to create a variety of moods depending on your needs – from bright, full light to subtle, atmospheric lighting ideal for evening relaxation.
Which table lamp will work best? Kanlux AGZAR is a lamp made of steel. It is characterised by a wide rotation of the lampshade. This allows you to direct the light just where you need it. You can also match this lamp with a hanging version and wall lamps – making all lighting consistent.

The 2024 autumn lighting trends for the living room are all about combining modern technology with nature, warm materials and timeless elegance. Whether you prefer minimalist forms, eco-friendly solutions or lamps with more design-oriented, geometric shapes, the key principle remains the same – creating a cosy and harmonious space that promotes rest and relaxation.  The right lighting can completely transform an interior, introducing warmth, character and modern style to the living room.
