Areas of application in autumn lighting

Autumn is definitely darker than the friendly and bright summer. In the morning the first wafts of fog roll over the fields and it rains on many days. But there's no reason to be in a bad mood because of the gray weather. From today on you can create a cozy mood and a pleasant atmosphere with a well-thought-out lighting concept. Warm white color temperatures of around 2700 to 3900 Kelvin and gentle yellow-orange tones immerse every room in the flair of autumn. The relaxed combination allows the mind to calm down and gives strength for the challenges of the approaching winter. So let's get started with the new lighting to get you in the perfect mood for the cozy moments in your home. 

Current trends for fall

Of course, you also want to be up to date with your lighting for fall 2025. There are exciting lamp trends this year that will help you create a harmonious overall picture of furnishings, lighting and decoration. Warm tones, natural materials and a subtle design are all the rage right now.

Elegance and naturalness are well received

Nature changes your colors and you invite autumn to you with the right light. Autumn lamps made from sustainable materials such as ceramic, wood, raffia or metal in warm gold or bronze colors create a harmonious and romantic indoor climate. The decorated surfaces appear elegant and fantastically underline the connection to nature.

At the same time, the metal surfaces shine subtly and reflect the warm light to all areas of the room. It almost creates the image of gentle candlelight. In autumn, delicate and subtle colors determine the furnishing concept. Warm beige tones or delicate pink colors and sunny yellow accents bring calm into the room and ensure relaxing moments. With autumnal natural colors such as brown, orange and dark green, you can decorate your home perfectly for the autumn season.

In the range of BUYnBLUE you can find for example the Japandi dining table lamp. This lamp casts a soft and subtle light, which is definitely enough to enjoy the food. Their shape is reminiscent of the bark of a tree and their flowing shape brings a natural liveliness to your dining table. Dining table lamps with an autumnal design are crucial for autumn lighting at home, as meals are usually eaten in the kitchen or dining area and no longer on the terrace or somewhere else outdoors. 

Modern lamps with smart technology conjure up the perfect autumn atmosphere

Smart lamps that automatically adapt to the time of day and lighting conditions cast the optimal light and support our body's natural biorhythm. Not only does the atmosphere in your four walls change when autumn arrives, but also the rhythm of your life.

In general, due to the lack of sun, you need a little longer to be fit and you get tired more quickly in the evening because it gets dark earlier. Your body adapts to the season. However, unlike many domestic animal species, we humans cannot retreat into hibernation and therefore need the right lighting in autumn. Innovative lamps whose light color and brightness adapt to natural daylight make it possible to design the light individually and atmospherically in autumn.

For example, in the morning, lights with a cool white light are automatically switched on and in the evening, lamps with a warm yellow tone are automatically switched on. Some smart lighting systems use artificial intelligence to recognize the relevant user at home and adjust the optimal lighting based on their habits. 

The right lighting for autumn in the living room

For the central place in your home you can create a wonderful atmosphere for relaxation and socializing in autumn. To do this, combine indirect lights with warm white lights from floor and table lamps as well as decorative light sources in the autumn style.
