September 22 marks the first official day of Autumn and we cannot wait to walk over crunchy leaves, cuddle up in blankets and enjoy as many hot drinks as we can.

Autumn is a wonderful time of year and a great season to create a new vibe in your home. You can switch out old lighting, add new illumination for darker days or spruce up any space with an additional glow.

We have listed some of the top interior décor trends of 2020 and found some corresponding light fittings to inspire you.

Cement-Style Lighting

After a love of exposed brick and metal at the beginning of the year, this change in season has evolved into a softer industrial look.

Interior designers have taken a liking to sandy, textured walls with chalky finish. Not to mention, opting for plaster is environmentally-friendly as it will not emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are bad for your health!

You can achieve this raw look for less with our cement-look fittings!

Take a look at the Planter Ceramic Wall Light Cement Paint Effect for a budget-friendly Wall Light. Achieve a tonal rustic look with the Taite Grey Cement Base Table Lamp with Shade.

Velvet Fittings

Did you know the searches for velvet had increased by 400% by the beginning of this year? It was incredibly sought out as people prepared for colder months. This year, it is back with an even bigger bang and ready to wow your guests.

Take a look at our Aspen selection of Pendant Lights for stunning tapered velvet shades. The Small Gold Velvet Aspen NE Pendant Shade is 190mm x 250mm, whereas the Large Purple Velvet Aspen Shade sits at 270mm x 350mm.

An Extravagant Glow

Pulling in rich tones of royal blue, ruby and even a deep rose, we are taking retro up a notch with a touch of glamour. This bold trend is a sassy take on 70s opulence and is perfectly represented by rounded furniture, softer fabrics and a statement piece.

Get the look with items like our super fun ICONIC Bonbon Copper Ribbon Ceiling Light that will crown a living room in style. Or take a look at the Arkos Floor Lamp With White Block Marble Base for fashionable accent illumination.

With 1000s of gorgeous products here at WLED, you can find any fitting to re-design your home.
