Lighting By Type

Matching the fitting to the job

Every room needs a base layer of ambient light, and the fitting type you choose decides how that light behaves. Hanging fittings pull the eye to a focal point and suit rooms with a natural centre, such as a dining table. Wall lights wash light across vertical surfaces and keep floors clear in narrow spaces. Table lamps and floor lamps add flexible pools of light exactly where you sit, read or work. Most homes use a mix, so it helps to think job by job rather than room by room.

Hanging types: chandeliers, pendants and linear suspensions

Chandeliers carry several lights on one fitting, including radial, two-tier and cluster designs, which makes them the natural pick for dining rooms and living rooms that need plenty of ambient light from a single ceiling point. Single pendants are simpler drops that work well in hallways and kitchens, and small globe pendants can be grouped where you want repetition. Branching suspensions and linear bars spread their lamps across a wider span, a tidy answer over longer tables.

Wall lights, lamps and ceiling fittings

Wall lights suit hallways, bedrooms and living rooms where you want soft light at eye level without losing floor space. Table lamps cover bedside tables and sideboards, while floor lamps fill dim corners and give seating areas their own pool of light. Ceiling lights mounted close to the plasterwork are the practical choice where headroom is tight. The fittings here are IP20 indoor designs, so they belong in living spaces rather than bathroom zones or gardens.

Materials and finishes across the range

Whichever type you land on, a shared palette of materials runs through the range, so fittings from different sections sit comfortably together:

• Alabaster shades in soft white, paired with brushed brass or matt black metalwork
• Glass designs, from copper ombre shades to smoked glass suspensions
• Metal fittings in white, brass, black and silver chrome finishes

Many designs use integrated LEDs with a warm white output, while others take standard E27 bulbs you can change yourself.
