For Smaller Rooms
When looking at how to light a room, its often best to start at the size of your room. A smaller room will need a completely different approach to a larger room lighting solution. Light evokes warmth, comfortable state of mind and adversely it can create a stark intense atmosphere. Getting the balance right is crucial.
When dressing a small room, you actually have a few options! Our floor lamps draw the eye up, so it gives the room the sense of height and can be positioned at the back or over a sofa which helps with maximising the space.

Be Dramatic with a Pendent Light
When is comes to being dramatic, there’s nothing like a pendent light. Much as its name Pendent Lights date back from the 1950’s and was inspired by jewellery makers. However, the first time a pendent light was used dates back as early as ancient Greece.
They are stylish and can create an abundance of light.

Top Tips
A top tip from our Home Design Team is, to always consider the function of the room. What will the space be used for: Cooking? Watching television? Doing homework? In the dining room, an overhead chandelier with a dimmer works best.
If you’re using track lighting, be sure not to shine the light directly into the faces of guests around your table. Kitchen lighting is more complex.
Pinpoint your work areas and light them directly. “Ideally, lights should be below your eye level,” says interior designer Andrew Galuppi.” Set up task lights under the stove range or cabinets to light countertops.”
In living rooms, use a combination of floor lamps, table lamps, and down-lights (recessed or track lighting). “Here the lighting should be part of the decor,” says Galuppi. Bathrooms are trickier.
Some say to go the clinical route—the brighter the better—especially at the vanity. But others prefer a softer glow from dimmable sconces.
Compromise and incorporate both with the addition of candles. “Candlelight helps you unwind while you soak in the bath,” says Galuppi. Master bedrooms should feature good reading lights at the bed and desk, and a task light for getting dressed. Any overhead lighting should be fit with a dimmer.
No matter what room you are looking to light, have fun, be experimental and most of all #DesignHappy
