Interior Trends 2026: The Return of Natural Materials

In 2026, interior design is firmly turning away from all-synthetic materials. Wood, rattan, wicker and linen are emerging as the year's star materials, driven by a deep desire to reconnect with nature. And lighting plays a central role in this movement.

Wood: the leading material in natural lighting

The wooden pendant light has established itself as a centrepiece of contemporary interiors. Whether charred (yakisugi), whitewashed or left raw, wood brings incomparable warmth to any room. Paired with a filament bulb, it creates a soft, enveloping atmosphere, perfect for a living room or dining room.

The wooden floor lamp follows the same trend: sculptural and often handmade, these freestanding lights become true works of functional art. They fit just as easily into a Scandinavian interior as into a renovated Haussmann-style apartment.

Rattan: the return of boho chic

After falling out of favour for decades, rattan is enjoying a spectacular revival. The rattan pendant light is now one of the most sought-after lights on the French market. Its woven texture creates fascinating patterns of light and shadow, transforming any ceiling into a living canvas.

Available in round, oval or cascading forms, the rattan pendant light suits every style: bohemian, tropical, wabi-sabi or even minimalist, depending on the finish you choose.

How can you bring these trends into your home?

  • Living room: Choose a large wooden or rattan pendant light above your coffee table or dining area.
  • Bedroom: A wooden floor lamp in a reading corner brings softness and character.
  • Entrance: A medium-sized rattan pendant light creates a memorable first impression.
