HOME + GARDEN
“ Direct light where it’ s needed most by using accent lighting designed to highlight specific features in a room such as artwork, bespoke cabinetry or plants. Details like these can be transformed by sculptural wall or table lights offering a soft glow, drawing attention to focal points of the room while illuminating darker areas. Doubling as artwork themselves, thoughtful, sculptural accent lighting makes a room feel more considered, gently guiding the eye where to look.”

EMOTIONALLY ANCHORED ART

Instead of considering an artwork as the final touch to a room, instead use it as your starting point. Find a piece you love and build your scheme around complementary colours for upholstery or shapes for furniture. Unsure where to begin? Be inspired by summer Kentish landscapes and nature- think coastal tones, painterly skies and organic forms that echo the rolling countryside. Base your choice on how an artwork makes you and your interior space feel, rather than just how it looks.
