Lighting provides the opportunity to manipulate the atmosphere of an interior. Fixtures, positioning and style play a huge part in bringing your interior design to life. 

With those dark nights closing in, we explore some of the top lighting trends for Autumn 2020 for that cosy, warming and atmospheric Autumn abode.

1. Art Deco Is Back In Full-Force

A much loved ‘go-to’ for interiors. A design style which has been known to leave exceptional lighting in the dark!  

Fear not, Gatsby decadence is back in full force and we have added our own Soho stamp on this fabulous Era.

Saturate your interior in Deco light with Soho Lighting’s breath-taking Glasshouse pendant. Resplendent when hung in hallways or dropped mid-staircase. The iridescent beauty of this pendant’s thick opaline and clear glass will be appreciated from every angle the moment one steps through the doorway.

2. Bigger Is Better In The Kitchen! 

Larger spaces lend themselves to bigger light fixtures. This Autumn is all about making the kitchen light a design centrepiece. Practically speaking it's great for lighting up your work space too!

Create that ‘WOW’ factor with the phenomenal Warwick Strip Light from the Soho Lighting Company. Cast in solid brass or aluminium, this impressive pendant is huge. Embracing up to a 3 meter drop and emitting the pure light of a ‘strip’ from a jaw-droppingly stunning and authentic casing. Sensational, placed centrally above a kitchen island or dining table. Your surface will be drenched in light that makes a statement.

3. Create Ambience – It’s All About The Wall Light! 

Lockdown has brought interiors back into sharp focus. This autumn see’s spectacular interiors using the ‘not so’ humble wall light to create a stylish, warm and inviting ambience.

Switch off your overhead lighting and notch up the style with Soho Lighting’s sleek and sophisticated Sheraton brass pillar. Solid brass and nickel fixtures encase individual glass rods casting out a beautiful prismatic light to bathe your space in sumptuous ambience.

Hung vertically or horizontally, soothe your senses with this touch of luxurious lighting.  

4. Mood Lighting

With the dark nights closing in, match the lighting to the ambience you want to create. Dimmer Switches are perfect for creating mood lighting that matches the tone of the room and how you feel.

Dimmer switches put you in charge of how you want to illuminate your home. Turning down the lighting during the evening will create a cosy, warming and atmospheric setting. Up the ante for those dark mornings where there is limited light.

Mood lighting is a must have feature for those cold and crisp Autumnal days.

5. Midnight Colours Are In

Forget the neutrality of cream and white interiors that are always a fail safe option. This Autumn is all about daring to do something a little bit different.

Think midnight blue, charcoal greys and emerald greens. We are starting to see this new trend emerging more and more in kitchens and bathrooms.

These dark shades are nothing to be afraid of. Opting for brassy, gold and industrial lighting will pop against the contrasting colour. This will create further ambience and dramatic lighting to your space. This is a trend not to be ignored this Autumn!

You're only a few steps away from that cosy, Autumnal abode. There's no need for summer blues when you can light your way through to the new year.
