Eastern Delights
A modern trend that blurs the lines between modern Art Deco, Zen, and Rich Textures. Moroccan style lights that create a striking impact in your home.
You might think that this is too dynamic a mix to create easily, but it’s really not. You can tailor and balance the look to create a lively and spirited character which is toned down by nostalgia and calming shapes.
Using table lamps and floor lamps to offer a warm ambience of light in the corner pockets of the room, creates an encompassing and cosy glow that creates comfort. However, this interior trend is focused primarily on aesthetics and not necessarily specific on individual types of lighting.
Light streams out of slatted and webbed shades; mimicking the sun’s rays for an eye-catching and uplifting effect that spreads on to ceilings and walls.
The vibrant chinoiserie style of fabrics used on lampshades, cushions and wall coverings offer a warming glimpse of gerontogeous vibe.
Natural materials teamed with vibrant tones create harmony and equilibrium as you witness your home interior evolving.
Using nature’s textures and tones create earthy, tactile vibes that soothe the senses and appeal to our desire to help protect the future of our planet.
Circles within circles create the hint of Art Deco styling that brings an optimistic, yet nostalgic heartbeat.
This trend is like showing the best version of yourself. The calm, confident and wittiest person at the party. It’s fun, yet humble and honest. A yearned for look.
An accumulation of styles which, at first glance, shouldn’t go together. But they do. Celebrate your look with a collaboration of influences.
Creative Designs and Natural Inspiration
The perfect balance of modern patterned design with an organic inspiration. Although physical plants don’t necessarily come into play with the Eastern Delights trend – there is a large focus towards sustainability and nature inspired designs.
The Eastern Delights trend looks to combine the luxury elements within natural designs. Expect gold wall lights that contrast with bright walls and unique framed table lamps.
Lighting that creates a statement whether it’s on or off. A functional piece of art. The Eastern Delights trend is more than a simple lighting scheme – it is creating a new and exciting environment that is not only stylish, but also inviting. A place you can unwind and relax in the evening, but a place you are proud to present.
As you continue to explore the Eastern Delights trend, you will find that the presence of texture and nature are important in achieving this look. From marbled ceiling pendants to rattan table lamps, Eastern Delights breaks boundaries and creates wonder.
Reinterpreted Room Dividers
Many of us have gone for the open plan look. It’s perfect for families, especially those with young children. However, we will all face a time when those sweet young children who want to play and spend their time near their parents, turn into young adults who crave their own space and privacy.
As a result, many of us are valuing ‘broken plan living’. An open space that flows as one, but with little pockets of private spaces. Perfect for those ever growing kids or just to allow the parents to escape for some peace and quiet!
So, we are experimenting with different solutions. Could room dividers be the answer? Whilst the traditional folding screens are still popular, we can be a little more imaginative. Something as simple as a table can be used to break up the space in a room. We’re also seeing shelving providing a multifunctional screen, so why not lighting?
Linear lighting arrangements create perfect zones in these open spaces. Whether this be a ceiling pendant bar or a collection of smaller pendants – the look and feel is the same.
Tall geometric floor lamps can create a dividing space between areas also. The stylish frame can be used to break up space in a room without looking out of place and remaining functional.
Opulent Marbling
With techniques now honed, man-made Marble is now equally as beautiful, by simply choosing better core materials. We now have a range of lights that are made out of stone and ceramics which perfectly mimic this look for opulent living.
It’s no secret that homeowners are favouring a design scheme that follows the ‘outside – inside’ look. Typically this look is focused on wildlife, creating a colourful forest in a room that previously valued a modern minimalism. But instead of plants, Eastern Delights looks to venture into stone and other earthy materials. Marbled and ceramic ceiling pendants create a natural look in any setting whilst offering a luxury ambient glow that we all look for.

Eastern Delights is more than an interior trend – It’s bringing texture and organic decor into your life. The elegant swirls of hard wearing materials have been popular for centuries. Often imitated, but never duplicated, it’s the amalgamation over thousands of years that creates the ethereal beauty and tactility.
Lantern Inspired Lighting
Lanterns are often thought of as a traditional Victorian or Edwardian style of light. However, that’s not the look for this trend!
Modern lanterns looks to capture a sense of wonder for a post-modern touch to any home.
It’s more of a three-dimensional look. Bejewelled Moroccan inspired lights that bring warmth and glamour from far flung shores.
You might think this style is too glamorous, but it’s more about the dressing of the room around the light. Sparkling crystals draw the eyes around the room creating a home that mimics an artistic display.
For some, the crystal display does not reflect our lifestyle, and that’s fine! We are all individuals and it is important that our homes reflect our personalities. Luckily for you, there are many different styles of modern lantern pendants that incorporate a Moroccan theme.
An Art-Deco and Moroccan fusion of light. A change of effect from cool and chic in the daylight hours and a warm beacon when dusk sets in. Displaying lanterns with a three dimensional Deco design will enhance your Eastern Delights scheme in the same way that a traditional Moroccan lantern would – minus the sparkle.
Texture, Texture And More Texture!
Eastern Delights is as much about texture as it is about style. Taking inspiration from oriental design schemes, Easter Delights looks to add different types of texture that create a calming environment. Focusing on soft features such as cotton fringes adds a sense of comfort whilst a rattan or bamboo material can provide a bold statement of sustainable style.
Fringed design and oriental influence creates a soothing atmosphere – perfect for evening relaxation and meditation. As the world is changing, and some are spending more time at home, it has become increasingly important to make our home a calming sanctuary. The soft features allow for a soft and gentle lighting display whilst remaining stylish and modern.
A bamboo ceiling pendant is the perfect option when considering a nature inspired home. The organic brown finish helps bring out the colour of plants and flowers to create a jungle-like display. A calming element that is typically designed with wide gaps to emphasise the bamboo structure – creating a lovely display of light and shadow.
