Let There Be Light cont ...
“ Lighting is a really key element to all our design proposals and is fundamental in creating the right atmosphere and ambience in a room . We use larger ceiling light fittings to draw focus to the central space within bigger rooms , or to accentuate and enhance high ceilings and the overall shape of the room . More discreet and subtle lighting can be used when spaces are smaller or to let the light itself be the focus , rather than the fitting ”

MAKE A STATEMENT
Sculptural , stand-out lighting is at the height of interior design , from contemporary , modern pads to farmhouse cottages , ceiling lighting has gone big . 2021 has seen the rise in bold , extravagant and daring designs with statement pieces taking centre stage . Decorative lighting comes in a huge variety of shapes , sizes , styles , and materials so be sure to research .
First off , consider scale and how the piece will contribute to the overall aesthetic of the room – thoughtfully placed , cleverly designed ceiling lights will completely transform a space . An art deco chandelier is timeless , and has the ability to make a traditional space feel more contemporary . Elegant shapes that take inspiration from organic forms , have a softer , more feminine feel and will add dimension to a space , leading the eye around the room . Gold finishes will add a rich boldness , bring a level of elegance and luxury , and lustrous metals won ’ t be going out of fashion anytime soon .
Choose something fun , be playful with design-led pendants and shades and inject a pop of colour here and there . Remember to consider the whole house , don ’ t just stick to the living spaces , consider an eye-catching show stopper in the bedroom or bathroom , but take into account the space , a chandelier in a box room may be a little overpowering – choose smaller statement pieces , or group pendants together . Create an artistic installation , experiment and make a statement with lighting .
