Home lighting works best in layers. Rather than relying on one overhead globe, most rooms feel better with a mix of ambient, task and accent light, which is exactly what this collection brings together.
The three layers of home lighting
Ambient light is your base, usually from modern ceiling lights like oysters and flush mounts. Task light handles specific jobs such as reading and cooking, where track lights and pendants earn their place. Accent light sets the mood and highlights features, often through modern wall lights.
Choosing home lights for each room
Match the fixture to the room and the job it does.
- Kitchens and living areas suit bright, layered schemes.
- Bedrooms and hallways feel best with softer, warmer light.
- Over a dining table or island, modern pendant lights create a focal point.
- Modern indoor lighting such as lamps fills the corners that a ceiling fixture cannot reach.
Brightness and colour temperature in home lighting
Two simple measures guide your choice. Brightness is measured in lumens, and colour temperature is measured in kelvin. Warm white around 2700 to 3000K feels relaxed and suits living and sleeping spaces, while cooler white works better in kitchens and task areas. Choose dimmable fittings where one room needs to do double duty.
LED home lights and running costs
Most of our home lights are LED, which use far less power than halogen and last years longer, so you spend less time and money replacing globes. Pair your lighting with modern fans to keep rooms comfortable through the year. As a rule of thumb, sitting and sleeping spaces need around 10 to 20 lumens per square foot, while busy kitchens and bathrooms want closer to 70 to 80, so plan brighter where the work happens.
