Traditionally stored away in a garage or shed, the propane tank is not often put on display for aesthetic appeal.

Available in a variety of different shades, the BBQ lamp would make an unconventional, but nonetheless pleasing addition to your office or living room. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 31% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/furniture) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Propane-inspired Lighting:** Incorporate the aesthetic appeal of propane-inspired lighting into interior decor. - **Hidden Beauty of Everyday Objects:** Discover the potential to extract beauty from mundane or everyday objects in design. - **Unconventional Lighting Fixtures:** Embrace unconventional lighting fixtures that add a unique touch to office or living spaces. ### Where This Applies - **Interior Design:** Explore disruptive innovation opportunities in incorporating propane-inspired lighting into interior design concepts. - **Home Furnishings:** Find opportunities to create lighting fixtures that extract beauty from everyday objects for home decor purposes. - **Lighting Design:** Discover potential in developing unconventional lighting fixtures for both residential and commercial spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rechargeable Portable Torch Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/piton-portable-lamp.md) - [Bonfire-Inspired Indoor Illuminators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iri-lamp.md) - [Sustainable Solar Portable Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iggy-lamp.md) - [Opulent Outdoor Lamp Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gubi-seine-portable-lamp.md) - [Dual-Function Gas Lanterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beacon-lantern.md) - [Oversized Pen Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-lamp.md) - [Industrial Contemporary Lighting Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shop-light.md) - [Lantern-Inspired Soft Lighting](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fermob-lighting.md) - [Pear-Shaped Outdoor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-lamp1.md)
