Lighting is what ties a space together, it sets the mood, and supports everything from concentration to calm. In the guide below, we cover the essentials: choosing the right lighting for each room, layering light sources for depth and atmosphere, mounting your fixtures correctly, and more.

Each room has its own set of conditions to consider when it comes to lighting. Like artwork or the texture of furniture, lighting leaves a lasting impression—it shapes atmosphere, influences perception, and can even elevate your mood.

Living room Lighting

The living room is the most multifunctional space in the home and the right lighting is necessary to support the many activities it hosts. For general light, go with a dimmable pendant lamp above the coffee table or in a corner. It creates a comfortable glow that can be adjusted to fit the mood. Table lamps introduce warmth and texture to the general atmosphere, beautiful both when on and off.
To draw attention to a specific area, consider a pendant lamp with a directional opening that casts light downward or to the side. For something more sculptural or playful, try suspending one—or a cluster—in an unexpected corner.

Dining Room Lighting

The dining room serves a wide range of functions these days family breakfasts to dinner parties, even an unconventional workspace. For ambient lighting or a gentle glow over the dining area, opt for a semi-opaque pendant crafted from glass, resin, or textile. These materials diffuse light softly, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
For a different approach, place a table lamp at a nearby sideboard or windowsill for soft light that adds to the candle-lit ambience of the dinner table.

Kitchen Lighting

A functional kitchen requires good directional task lighting, illuminating the surfaces where meals are prepared. Pendant lights work well as general lighting in the kitchen or can be grouped above the counter to provide focused task light. Suspended over a kitchen island, they also help visually connect the kitchen to the dining area.

Home Office Lighting

The workspace requires great lighting especially to adapt throughout the day. Effortlessly navigate the ebbs and flows of daylight by adding a table lamp to the mix, providing more concentrated task light when general light is not needed. A flexible floor lamp welcomes the user to adjust, position, turn and dim the light according to their needs.

Reading Corner Lighting

Tuck into your favourite armchair or sofa. A reader’s sanctuary requires a unique combination of lighting elements; offering comfort and support as well as sufficient and flexible lighting that invites you to get lost in a good book.

A slim and light floor lamp with an adjustable head makes it easy to draw closer to the sofa or lounge chair, creating the perfect reading light.
