ILLUMINATE & ELEVATE

Refreshing your lighting scheme can instantly brighten a space – it’ s time to perfect the indoor glow. As the days grow longer, maximise natural light by swapping heavy curtains for airy voiles or even going without window coverings to let sunlight pour in.
For smaller, less naturally lit spaces, consider how artificial lighting can enhance a natural glow. Choose bulbs with softer, warmer hues to reflect the golden tones of spring and instal dimmer switches for adaptable ambience. Thoughtful light placement adds depth and personality to a space, and layering is key – think lamps and wall sconces paired with downlights or low-hanging pendants. Mirrors also help create a sense of openness and warmth, bouncing light beautifully around the room.
