POV: You’ve chosen the furniture. The colours work. The room looks great in daylight…
But at night, something just doesn’t feel right. 💡
Chances are, it’s the lighting.
One of the biggest mistakes we see is treating lighting as something you add to a finished room, rather than part of the interior design itself.
The best schemes use layers of light at different heights, combine functional and decorative lighting, and deliberately create areas of light and shadow.
Because a beautiful light fitting is only half the story.
Where you put the light — and what you illuminate — can completely change how a room feels.
