These four outdoor lighting trends presented at Milan Design Week 2025 will lead the direction of future courtyard and terrace lighting
Milan Design Week 2025 highlighted four outdoor lighting trends that combine sustainability, ambience, interactivity and material innovation. Solar integration provides wireless, self-contained lighting for patios and walkways. Atmosphere-focused green lighting uses soft uplighting and precise LED lights to highlight the texture of leaves, creating an immersive and romantic night scene. Smart interactive features - motion sensors, automatic switches and app control - make scene customization easy. Finally, the resurgence of natural materials such as wood, bamboo and cork allows lamps to blend seamlessly into the environment.
1. Solar Integration
Today, outdoor lamps often integrate solar panels and battery energy storage systems to provide energy-saving, wireless lighting solutions for gardens, patios and walkways. By eliminating complex wiring, this approach can reduce installation costs and ensure continuous lighting even during power outages, thereby improving reliability in any environment.
