When working on a lighting plan for your space, we think its important to have both low level table lamps, mid level wall lighting and high level hanging pendants. In this instance, it's helpful to break your lighting circuits up to accommodate. Zoning a space in this way can help to break up larger rooms, making them feel more cosy and intentional.

For instance, this room has been split up into a sitting room area with sofas using low level lighting and the fireplace is framed with wall lights and an overhead lantern. The kitchen island features three pendant lampshades to highlight the entertaining and dining space.

Choosing the right style can feel like a daunting task. Think about how the new lampshade can complement textures and colours in your space to create balance.

We like to have a mixture of textural, organic patterns with something bold like a stripe to break it up. It's also useful to find a textile, wallpaper or paint colour that you like or already have and pick out a few colours from that or find a complementing colour to bring into the space.

If you're working with a more minimal palette, our lampshades are versatile enough to simply soften a space with some plain linen for a warm glow or to bring in a pop of colour and pattern.

This bedroom features our Red Inverse Palm Grove Lampshade. Using the inverse pattern of the wallpaper is such an easy way to create an effortlessly layered space. We opted for red to tie in the stripes and the bedside table. This also offers some pattern variation. The Ivory Candlestick Lamp Base softens all the colour and again ties in the cream in the lampshade.
