Lighting FAQ
What is layered lighting?
We recommend layering three types of light — ambient, task and accent — to create a space that's both functional and beautiful. Ambient lighting gives you overall brightness, task lighting supports specific activities, and accent lighting adds atmosphere and highlights your favourite features.
How many types of lighting should a room have?
We always suggest combining ambient, task and accent lighting in every room. This layered approach helps you avoid relying on a single overhead light, giving your space more depth, function and style.
What's the difference between ambient, task and accent lighting?
We design our collections around all three: ambient lighting (like ceiling lights, pendant lights and chandeliers) for overall illumination, task lighting (like desk lamps) for specific activities, and accent lighting (like wall lights) to highlight décor or architectural details.
What lighting works best for each room in my home?
We curate our lighting by room to make this easy for you. We recommend bright task lighting and pendants for kitchens, soft ambient and bedside lighting for bedrooms, a mix of floor and table lamps for living rooms, and bright task lighting with accent lighting for bathrooms.
