Tips for a Calm and Cosy Sanctuary
The joy of lighting is the power it has to transform a cold unfriendly interior into an elegant and comforting home, filled with warmth, texture and subtle, soft tones.
Materials are Key to a Light Natural Feel
To achieve a light airy feel chose natural materials in soft, muted shades from natural rattan, wicker, and palm leaf. These materials boast appealing imperfect textures and tones.
The woven texture of our Beru lampshades, Noko pendants, floor lamps, and Palm leaf lampshades all softly diffuse the light, filtering the electric glare into something softer and more natural. They also cast pretty shadows that a add wash of texture.
An Expression of Spring
For a fresh spring look style your home with translucent glass shapes, the soft, organic, silhouettes of our glass Baba lamps bases and the organic contours of our Otori pendants artfully reflect the light, allowing it to gently shimmer across the hammered glass finish, an effect that also gives the glass depth and character.
For a seasonal uplift reimagine your current lighting with a new lampshade, select a new tone for an earthy connection opt for a soft natural jute from our Dia collection or for a warmer vibrant feel chose rust.
Experiment with different lamp base textures and hues. Try natural woods for an understated calming look, for character and richness explore our Lumbu hand etched antique brass and to add colour the warm tones of our amber Baba glass are the perfect accessory.
A Few Tricks and Practicalities
To make a room feel large and airy use up lighting, for a cosier space go for low hung pendants, this will create an illusion of cosiness no matter what size the room. Consider the flow of your interior, the atmosphere you want to create. Brighter lights are more suited to living spaces where you may want to feel more awake, whilst softer lighting will help set a more mellow, relaxing tone where you can unwind.
