Cath Kidston's new lighting collection is here to inject a little whimsy into your home
Whether you prefer polka dots or candy stripes, home lighting has never been quite so fun


When it comes to delicate heart-warming designs there's no other homeware brand that does it quite like Cath Kidston. Their newest collection, available at Next, is all about returning to their hand-painted patterned roots and the lighting is by far our favourite.
Even if you're not into the dopamine decor trend, no one on earth can deny that the intricate whimsy patterns Cath Kidston is renowned for aren't magic. After falling in love with their summer dishware sets, we jumped for joy when we heard that their new home collection at Next included a range of unique lighting.
So whether you're looking to transform your bedroom on a budget or simply need a little eclectic fun in your space, this collection will have something for you.
New in: Cath Kidston's lighting collection
The range exclusively sold on the NEXT website has seamlessly combined the iconic Cath Kidston heritage with a more modern-day aesthetic, creating the perfect look for the 2024 home.
So if you want to ignore the mainstream lighting trends and opt for a more cottage-core-looking space, this is the collection to shop from. With lamps, ceiling pendants and lightshades there really is something for every room in your house.
With prices starting at £48, you don't need to spend a fortune to add a pop of colour to your space. However, if you're looking to invest in a particularly special lamp, the cream-disty dog table lamp is a sought-after favourite.

She says, "Our new home collection was inspired by a world of curators and collectors, featuring hand-painted blooming florals signed off with a bow, alongside fearless cowgirls and charming china dogs."
"We wanted our home collection to reflect an artist's home, with beautiful pieces that feature hand-painted prints to form a crafted and charismatic world," Holly adds.
Posting on their Instagram, the brand received hundreds of excited comments from users who were overjoyed with the new items.
One user says, "My favourite is the roses and bow print it's absolutely beautiful please hurry up and release everything as I'm decorating and need this ❤️"
Whilst you may prefer a more neutral palette in your home, experimenting with more quirky lighting pieces like this is an easy way of adding character without completely changing your room's colour palette. For example, the glass marble table lamp from the collection is just the right balance of sophistication and whimsy.
There's a reason using colours to create a happier home is so effective and it's something Cath Kidston can certainly help you with.
