What Kind of Lighting Do You Need?

When you start your search, think about what purpose your light will serve. Lighting generally falls into three key categories:

1. Ambient Lighting

This is your main source of light—often ceiling lights or large pendants that illuminate a whole room.

Try:

  • Eos Feather Lampshade (Large) – Made from real goose feathers, this sculptural shade creates a soft, cloud-like glow that’s perfect for bedrooms and living areas.

2. Task Lighting

For focused areas like desks, reading nooks or kitchen counters. These are practical, yet they can still be stylish.

Try:

  • Fibre Silk Table Lamp – A warm, lantern-style glow makes this ideal for side tables or bedside reading.

3. Accent Lighting

Use these to create atmosphere or highlight a feature, like a piece of art or a cosy corner.

Try:

  • Orbit Portable Lamp – Cordless, rechargeable and dimmable. Perfect for adding warmth to shelves, dining tables or even outdoor settings.

Create a Mood with Materials

One of the biggest lighting trends in the UK right now is the return to natural materials and soft textures.

That’s why we love:

These textures instantly soften a space and add depth without needing to redecorate everything.
