Take a tour around your home and the one thing you will find in every room, rain or shine, is lighting. Not only is good lighting a necessity, but well-chosen designs can change the look and feel of a scheme at the flick of a switch.
According to leading homeware designer Neptune, there are a variety of light sources that can be fine-tuned to curate a beautiful home.
Even in the summer months, there will be north-facing areas that feel gloomy without proper lighting, and in the same way that investing in the right handbag can make a simple outfit look a million dollars, beautiful lighting is an easy way to give any interior a boost.
Designed for use throughout the house, Neptune’s new seasonal range features table lamps with dimmer switches to help adjust the lighting in your space.
Good lighting is just as important in the brighter summer months as it is during winter, not least because a beautifully shaped or textured lamp brings both style and light to a room.
Neptune’s new seasonal range of lighting is crafted from a palette of natural materials including raffia and rattan, as well as shapely ceramics in glossy and textural finishes guaranteed to add richness and character to a space.
Heavily inspired by the coast, these pieces were curated as an organic collection to feel soothing and elemental.
Scalloping was the key in this design process, and Neptune has translated this trend to ensure the designs remain timeless rather than overly decorative.
The Marina pendant is a highlight, as are the woven rattan Athena lamps and the new ribbed glass Malton lighting collection, while the Caspian table lamp features glaze in a beautiful deep green, with an uneven surface which suggests movement.
And while considering lighting for the summer months, be sure to include a thought for your outdoor spaces to make the most of balmy evenings.
To this end, the coastal theme continues outside with the solid brass Emerson wall light with ribbed glass shade, which has recently been rated for exterior use.
