The Lighting Guide

The dining room is one of the most rewarding spaces to light well — and one of the easiest to get wrong. A pendant hung too high, a light that's too bright, or the wrong colour temperature can undermine the whole mood of the room. This guide covers exactly what works and why.

The hallway is the first thing guests see when they walk into your home — and the last thing you see when you leave. Yet it's almost always the most neglected room in the house when it comes to lighting. Here's how to do it properly.

The bedroom has to do more than any other room in the house — bright enough to get dressed in, calm enough to wind down in, focused enough to read in. Most people solve this with a ceiling light and a bedside lamp and end up with a room that's either too harsh or too dim. This guide covers how to get it right.
