Lighting & Home Decor

The Home Depot opened October with a major partnership announcement that pushed the retailer to the front of home-improvement coverage, while Kichler Lighting used this week's High Point Market to show its newest decorative fixtures to the trade. Hudson Valley Lighting drew attention in market reporting on fall 2026 design directions, and Sonneman kept its contemporary pieces in the same conversation. Schoolhouse returned to design-trend reporting after its relaunch, and Molecule expanded its presence among exhibitors selling lighting alongside accessories. Lumens used a fall sale centered on lighting and décor to pull shoppers into its showrooms and online store. Troy Lighting and Crystorama, meanwhile, turned up on deal trackers, a sign that bargain-hunting consumers are actively comparing fixtures this season. Taken together, the month's activity shows retailers and designers chasing the autumn home refresh from two directions at once: big-box reach on one side, and trade-show trend-setting on the other.
