Dark drama
Add extra interest to a moody scheme lighting that works just as hard. Plush jet-hued velvets, dramatic tones and layered fabrics, textures and plants are key to making this look work. Plus, don’t be afraid to make a statement with bold lighting choices. Choose strong, sculptural shapes for impact and added Instagramability.

Golden glamour
Elegant and restrained, gold, white and brass tones are the perfect complements for a neutral scheme and pair as well with classic cream and taupe décor as they do in Scandi and boho interiors too. Matching items tie a scheme together, while mixing your metals and textures gives a look that’s decidedly more considered.

Rustic appeal
Glass lighting works well in kitchens where painted woods and soft tones tend to dominate. It’s all about form and function here, so look for pieces that are beautiful, provide task and mood functions and which are easy to clean. For added impact, layer a trio of matching pendants over an island for a look that screams luxe.
