2025 Lighting Trends: How Designers Are Embracing Natural Materials & Earthy Tones

Natural Materials Take Center Stage

In 2025, interior design is embracing nature with organic textures, warm hues, and sustainable materials, and lighting is at the forefront of this movement. Designers are favoring natural materials and earthy tones to create inviting, sophisticated environments that reflect a growing appreciation for craftsmanship, sustainability, and biophilic design

1. Alabaster Rocks!™ Collection

Alabaster is a natural occurring stone that is prized for its soft translucence and distinct veining. The Alabaster Rocks!™ Collection – which features real alabaster stone that is shaved and cast in resin – creates a diffused, ambient glow, making it a strong choice for high-end residential and hospitality spaces where subtle, warm lighting is preferred.

Designer Tip: Use alabaster pendants in dining or lounge areas to create a soft, inviting atmosphere that enhances the space without overpowering it.

2. Handwoven Rope

Handwoven rope lighting fixtures from our new Nido Family adds texture and an organic aesthetic, making them well-suited for relaxed environments such as coastal homes, resorts, or boutique hotel. The woven construction allows for intricate designs that balance structure with a lightweight feel. These fixtures also align with sustainability efforts by utilizing natural materials that minimize environmental impact.

Designer Tip: Pair handwoven rope fixtures with warm-toned LED bulbs to highlight the texture and create a cozy, natural ambiance.

3. Rattan

A staple in biophilic design, the Caribe Family’s rattan is lightweight yet durable, making it a great option for pendant lights and decorative sconces. Its woven structure allows for interesting light patterns, adding depth and dimension to interiors. Rattan is frequently used in spaces that embrace a laid-back, nature-inspired aesthetic.

Designer Tip: Combine rattan lighting with neutral or earth-toned furnishings to reinforce a cohesive, nature-inspired theme without overwhelming the space, while supporting sustainability in interior design.

4. Textured Ceramics

Handcrafted ceramic lighting fixtures, such as pendants, wall sconces and flush-mounts, offer a level of individuality and depth. Justice Design offers a range of textured ceramic finishes that mimic real natural travertine, slate and hammered metals. Popular finishes such as Greco Travertine, Concrete, Hammered Brass and Harvest Yellow Slate allows designers to incorporate ceramics into a range of design styles, from minimalistic to rustic.

Designer Tip: Use textured ceramic lighting in spaces with natural wood and stone elements to enhance contrast while maintaining a cohesive, organic look.
