Few interior styling approaches are as effortlessly chic and sophisticated as the monochromatic look. By focusing on varying shades of a single colour, you can create a cohesive, calming space that shines with style. While this might sound limiting, it’s anything but. Monochromatic interiors offer incredible versatility—allowing texture, form, and lighting to take centre stage. Let’s dive in to learn more about how to build a monochromatic haven…

Scandinavian Simplicity

Monochrome doesn’t have to be about stark contrasts—soft neutrals can bring a sense of lightness and serenity to any space. Our Solis Skipper Range embodies this beautifully. Inspired by Scandinavian design principles, each pendant light is handcrafted from sustainably sourced, whitened oak, offering a natural, minimalist aesthetic that blends seamlessly into monochromatic interiors focused on lighter tones.

The subtle grain of the oak wood and the organic curves of the Solis Skipper Pendant introduce texture and depth to an otherwise uniform colour scheme, without breaking the monochrome flow.

Pair it with soft greys, beiges, and whites for a bright, tranquil interior that feels open and inviting. With light flowing out from the Solis Pendant, every corner of the room feels illuminated, making it perfect for grand dining spaces or bedrooms where serenity is key.

Bold Contrast

On the other side of the spectrum, our Noctis Lighting Range is all about embracing the daring side of monochrome - ideal for those who want to create more intense, dramatic interiors. Handcrafted from ebonised wood, the Noctis pieces showcase deep, rich tones that bring depth and focus to a room.

In a monochromatic design featuring darker shades—think charcoal greys, blacks, or deep blues—the Noctis Lighting Range shine as bold, definitive statements. Their curving, sculptural forms add a striking visual contrast to smooth, flat surfaces, and their ebonised finish gives a new depth to interiors. The natural texture of the wood softens the intensity of the black tones, offering warmth and balance to the starkness of the colour palette.

Perfect for intimate dining rooms, moody living spaces, or a stylish home office, the Noctis Range draws the eye upwards and creates a grounding effect, helping you balance the heavier tones in your design while keeping the overall aesthetic cohesive and intentional.

Create Harmony

A successful monochromatic design is all about balance. While some may prefer to stick to one side of the colour spectrum, a mix of light and dark elements can elevate a space by introducing contrast and variety. The combination of the light and dark toned ranges allows you to play with this dynamic. This harmonious interplay between light and shadow, brightness and depth, is where monochromatic interiors truly shine—and lighting plays a crucial role in achieving this. For example, a predominantly light room can be given a bold edge with a single Noctis Lighting Design, while a moody space can benefit from the soft, diffused light of a Solis Skipper Pendant.
