Top Tips to Brighten Your Lighting Scheme this Spring
Say goodbye to winter blues as spring has finally sprung, and with it comes a fresh opportunity to breathe a new lease of life into your interiors.
Put nature back in the spotlight
As the days get longer and the light begins to brighten our homes again, there's no better time to reimagine your space with beautifully crafted lighting. Whether you're drawn to the sculptural shape of a statement pendant, the gentle glow of a table lamp, or the ambient light that a portable light brings, a well-considered lighting scheme is the perfect way to rejuvenate your space this season.
If you want to freshen up your home, look no further. Here are our simple yet striking ideas for doing just that.
Our distinctive style captures the organic shapes found in nature, from curved silhouettes, flowing forms and seamless twists, each design is crafted from sustainably sourced wood that echoes the wild beauty of the natural world.
A Subtle Hint of Colour
As our gardens bloom and trees bud, spring invites colour back into our lives. It's the perfect time to explore soft, uplifting hues that celebrate the season.
Our recently launched Cove Lighting Range embraces this spirit with a fresh palette - subtle pinks, soft greens, sky blues, gentle reds, and cool whites - each chosen to add charm and individuality without overwhelming your space. These carefully curated tones add personality to any room, while retaining the timeless appeal that is defined by our signature steam-bent style.
Style tip: Use a neutral backdrop to let your light's colour shine - it's an easy way to make a bold yet balanced statement.
Shape Your Space with Light
This season, we're seeing a continued love affair with sculptural design - organic curves, soft scallops, and bold forms that double as art pieces. Lighting offers a perfect way to bring this look home in a subtle and practical way.
Crafted by hand in our Cornish workshop, each Tom Raffield light is shaped to create both visual and emotional impact. Natural wood tones like ash add a sense of lightness and airiness, while richer hues like oak and walnut bring warmth and grounding.
The shape of the light is only part of the story - just as captivating is the way it interacts with its surroundings. Our designs are made to cast beautiful patterns of light and shadow, creating an ever-changing ambience as day turns to night.
Pro tip: Position a wall light such as our Artus Wall Light against a plain wall to let its intricate design details cast mesmerising patterns across the wall, or opt for a ceiling light such as our No.1 Pendant, which filters light through its elegant curves. By choosing a design with gracious and impressive curves, you’ll invite your guests to look up and linger at its beauty.
Flexible Lighting Solutions, Wherever You Go
As we blur the lines between the indoor and outdoor, portable lighting has quickly become an absolute must-have. Ideal for those in-between moments, from an early evening drink in the garden to curling up with a book by the window, a rechargeable lamp gives you that ambient glow wherever you need it the most.
Our Skipper, Kanna, and Verso Portable Table Lamps are both conveniently cordless, combining exquisite design with everyday practicality. With dimmable settings and up to 144 hours of gentle illumination, or 8 hours at full brightness, you're able to create the perfect ambient lighting indoors or out. No need for extension leads, you can simply place it wherever you need a warm glow, and enjoy the freedom of lighting that moves with you.
The ease of our portable lighting allows full flexibility, meaning you can bring them outdoors to add an ambient glow over dinner, or use in corners of the home that need a little extra light - now that's a bright idea.
