Top 2025 Design Trends in Lighting and Smart Ceiling Fans
As we move into 2025, Modern Forms lighting and ceiling fans are changing the way we think about interior design. By using natural materials, smart technology, and creative styles, these designs make spaces more beautiful and practical. Whether you’re updating your home or redesigning a business, these trends will inspire you and bring a fresh touch to any space.
Let’s explore some of top 2025 design trends that are set to transform homes and commercial spaces alike this year.
1. Natural Materials Celebrate Imperfection and Sustainability
Lighting fixtures crafted from raw, unrefined materials are taking center stage, celebrating the beauty of natural imperfections and turning them into design highlights. This trend brings an earthy, grounded feel to interiors while emphasizing texture and authenticity.
Wood
Both sustainable and versatile, natural wood is a popular choice for lighting, complementing styles ranging from Scandinavian to minimalist. Each fixture carries its own unique character, with intricate grains and organic textures that softly diffuse light, creating a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Wood is also eco-friendly, making it a perfect choice for those who want stylish and environmentally responsible design solutions.
Our new, organic modern Delaney pendant light is crafted from rich walnut wood whose grain adds texture and character. It features a beautifully rounded frame that encircles a sleek LED diffuser, offering soft, even 3000K illumination.
The brand-new Kiefer pendant features a sleek, elongated form with a subtle grain pattern that adds warmth to modern spaces. Its gracefully curved, 48-inch frame is made using luxurious black walnut and conceals an integrated 3000K LED light source, allowing it to float effortlessly while casting ambient illumination.
Quarried Stone
Stone is another material that bridges the gap between nature and luxury. Quarried stones like travertine, basalt, Spanish alabaster, and marble are being sculpted into striking lighting pieces that are as functional as they are artistic.
Spanish alabaster is a natural stone that emits a textured light from the unique patterns inherent to the material. The organic Cadiz pendant radiates rich illumination from a tall cylinder of Spanish Alabaster encased in slender metallic straps, showcasing the stone’s distinctive natural veining.
Basalt stone is a material fairly new to the world of lighting. This dark volcanic rock creates dramatic contrasts and deep shadows, lending a sense of intrigue to spaces. Beige travertine also debuts in several Modern Forms fixtures. Travertine, with its tactile surface and soft color palette creates a dynamic interplay of light and shadow.
Our just-launched Caviar pendant is prized for its subtle richness and texture. Its fluted stone column surrounds an etched opal glass shade, offering a soft, radiant glow. Caviar is available in beige travertine or black basalt stone.
Marble is polished or honed to emphasize its iconic veining. Our new Stanchion wall sconce has a polished marble column beautifully framing an opal glass diffuser at its center. The stone centerpiece can be rotated up to 360 degrees to direct LED illumination precisely where it’s needed.
2. Luxury Glass: A Fusion of Vintage and Contemporary
The use of upscale glass in decorative LED lighting has reached new heights, fusing vintage influences with contemporary aesthetics to craft designs that blend artistry with functionality. This trend reflects a growing appreciation for materials that combine aesthetic richness with modern energy efficiency.
Ribbed Glass: Textured ribbed glass is making waves with its ability to refract light in intricate patterns, adding a touch of elegance and visual depth. The organic Tendril pendant, inspired by nature, features flowing ribbons of ribbed art glass that cascade elegantly from a polished dome canopy.
Art Glass: Designs featuring Tiffany-style art glass and artisanal Piastri glass are also seeing a revival, with handcrafted patterns that bring timeless elegance to modern lighting. Our new Tableau flush mount light showcases meticulously cut art glass ovals and rings beautifully illuminated by hidden, color temperature selectable LEDs. Our Magic pendants are now available in multi-light options which spread the sparkling brilliance of Piastri crystal throughout a space.
Patterned Opal Glass: Patterned opal glass adds a touch of sophistication, offering a soft, diffused glow that envelopes a space in a warm and inviting ambiance. The Fresco wall sconce features a trio of handcrafted glass plates. Soft 3000K LEDs illuminate the delicate variations in the artisanal glass, creating a truly luxurious ambiance.
2025 Top Design Trends for Ceiling Fans
1. Dual Finishes and Natural Materials
Ceiling fans have transcended their utilitarian roots, and are design statements in their own right. Many Modern Forms smart ceiling fans now feature contrasting tones, such as our new Smooth flush mount fan offered in Satin Brass combined with matte black and Brushed Nickel with Silver, giving spaces an elegant and layered look.
Natural materials like wood and stone are used to add warmth and texture, enhancing visual appeal while catering to environmentally conscious buyers who seek sustainability. Our popular Pisces collection debuts a stunning new ceiling fan with a unique, Spanish alabaster center that casts soft patterned light. Our Carve smart ceiling fan includes blades precisely crafted from natural Distressed Koa and Dark Walnut within its range of finish selections, bringing a touch of organic beauty into your space.
2. Minimal, Yet Functional Design
Minimalism continues to be a key trend in ceiling fan design, featuring simple shapes, slim profiles, and understated finishes. Despite their clean look, these fans are packed with advanced features like app control, voice activation, and energy-efficient motors. The new Bolo fan has a contemporary style reminiscent of a sleek jet aircraft within its slim, aerodynamic three-blade configuration and petite motor housing accented by a ring detail.
