Deco Lighting
Whilst Art Deco was popular in the 20’s the style remained popular till the present times. Having said that in later years the looks have been updated and freshened bringing a less stylised look. The popular paired-back luxury looks bring a little shine without being too old-world. We particularly feel deco looks great in bathrooms. Monochrome deco-inspired black bathroom lights are teamed with white glass, which smartens up bathrooms.

Chandeliers & Lanterns
Sticking to the classics chandeliers and lanterns have endured for centuries if you have an older property or period home then you can’t go wrong with a multiple-armed chandelier or lantern.
A chandelier is one of the benchmarks for opulence for those looking to capitalise on the sparkle without the light dominating the decor consider opting for a more refined classical look such as Laura Ashley lighting. Laura Ashley designs have enduring looks that have limitless appeal.
Timeless classics are those that dial back the over-stylised elements. Refined stepped crystals the over from the crystal swags. Classic is unfussy whilst retaining a grown-up elegance befitting period homes. You may note the colourways are less brassy instead chrome or brushed chrome is used which blends better with glass allowing the light to shine without it being too shouty.
