DECORATIVE LIGHTING

Consider having additional mood lighting in your living space and master bedroom. You don't want downlights shining down on you when you ' re watching a movie at night, nor do you want it to be pitch black, therefore decorative lighting gives you more options to create various moods in these rooms. Decorative lighting can also be seen as an opportunity to introduce another colour, form, or texture. We view decorative lighting as a crucial element in styling any room - have some fun with it!

We often like to add a side table next to a sofa (if you have the room) and style it with a table lamp. This is great if your sofa is quite long and you need additional table space, therefore a side table and lamp is a great option in addition to a coffee table A side table lamp is a great decorative option and enables you to add some added texture or potentially a colour to the space

We often suggest introducing a floor lamp to sit next to your sofa (if you have the room) This will add a sculptural element to the space too

We love using wall lights in our projects, they can be artworks in themselves If you are fully renovating your home, then plan the position of the wall light early on so the electrician can rough-in. This means you should have a good idea of what furniture you ' re using. For example, if you are planning on having a wall light next to your sofa above a little side table, you will need to know the length of your sofa or if you plan on having a wall light above your bedside table in your bedroom, then you will need to know what size bed you have, as well as the bedside tables height/width

For those that don't want something so permanent, the best option is to introduce a wall light that doesn't have to be hardwired into the wall and can simply be plugged in See examples on the next page
