Characterised by individuality and creativity, Bohemian style, or ‘Boho style’ is an unconventional design that celebrates a free-spirited approach to individual style. A crucial element to achieving a Boho style is tapping into cultural diversity and drawing inspiration from various cultures, eras, and artistic expressions.

In this blog, we will delve into the world of Bohemian interior design. We explore how you can incorporate lighting to create a balanced and harmonious Boho space.

The Foundations of Bohemian Style

First, we will highlight what is at the core of Bohemian style interior design. While similar to a minimalist rustic interior by utilising natural materials such as wood, wicker, and wool, Bohemian style differs in the way that it uses ‘thoughtful maximalism’ as the core to its design.

By layering intricate and oftentimes heavy pattern in items such as cushions or rugs, Boho style captures a rich and diverse range of colours and materials. It uses many contrasting colours and textures to create a bold yet cohesive space. Ceramic tiling with rich, vibrant patterning adds a wonderful effect when paired with a muted paint palette of greens, blues, and neutral beige.

Wicker plant pots, shelves, and even chairs bring another texture that works beautifully with leather or suede. Macrame wall hangings add an element of artisan craftmanship that further defines Boho style. This separates it from chic or minimalist spaces.

Now we understand more about the characteristics of Boho style, how can we incorporate lighting into this rich interior design?

Wicker

We’ve already touched on Wicker, and this is a great place to start when lighting a Bohemian styled home. Wicker the most popular material choice for boho lighting, it’s a fabulously versatile material, and it’s sustainable too! Wicker can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes with ease. Further, it can be easily dyed and painted, making it a great pick for Boho lighting.

Wood

In a similar stem, wood is a natural, versatile material that pairs perfectly with a Boho interior. A natural material that is able to easily be painted or left raw for a great natural alternative. Wood is a great option for Bohemian lighting.

Macrame

Macrame or cord lighting is a new and popular trend that perfectly suits a Boho interior. It's made with knots and twists, and available in a wide variety of different colours. Macrame shades offer a huge range of styles and colours for an ornate and layered Boho interior.

Glass

Glass shades and open bulbs are a perfect detail to add to a maximalist interior, providing an abundance of light output while providing a contrast in texture and material. This versatile material allows maximum light to flow around the room. Not only that, glass can be formed into many shapes, sizes, and textures, a versatile choice for a Boho space

And don’t feel limited to just one style of light. Boho style takes on a very eclectic approach and mixing and matching your lights is a great way style. Combine different textures and colours to create a cohesive lighting scheme, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different sizes or shapes.

Boho style embodies freedom and creativity, and by embracing hand-crafted textures, vibrant patterns, and natural materials, you can illuminate your home with inviting Bohemian lighting that transforms your space into a world of artistic exploration and creative beauty.

A beautifully lit patio can transform your outdoor space into an inviting area to be enjoyed day or night. Whether you host evening gatherings, relax with a good book, or simply bask in the ambience of your garden, proper patio lighting is essential.

In this blog, we will outline the best types of light to make the most of your patio, and effectively light this important space to create the perfect ambience.

Types of Lighting

Before diving into installing your patio lights, you should consider the design of your patio. Does your patio have walls, or steps, or decking? These considerations will help you to decide the kinds of lights that will benefit this outdoor space, as well as how to enhance the lighting for your specific needs.

Wall Lights

Wall lights are the first option for anyone considering any outdoor lighting. And there is an abundance of styles available, from nautical, contemporary, to art deco. Wall lights provide wonderful overall lighting that allows you to create a welcoming atmosphere. This is useful for entertaining, cooking, or reading.

You can choose up and down lighting to add a new layer of light to your patio or select a more direct wall light that provides more illumination to your surroundings.

Deck and Floor Lights

Deck lights are an innovative way to light your patio. With their slim-line profile, these handy lights can blend seamlessly into decks to provide great ambient lighting, or guide lighting. These work brilliantly to up-light garden features as well as adding a great layer of light when paired with wall lights.

Step Lights

Much like deck lighting, step lights have a slim-line profile that allows them to blend into steps as guide lighting. Not only do these work as a layer of ambient light, but these handy lights are a great safety feature. Perfect to light up potential trip hazards such as stairs, slopes, or raised platforms.

Using step lights as accent lighting is a great way to create ambience and atmosphere on your patio. Great for entertaining or relaxing in the evening in a well-lit space.

Solar-Powered Lighting

For areas without easy access to electrical outlets, consider adding solar-powered lights to your patio. These lights are not only more environmentally friendly as they do not need to draw power from the mains, but they are easily movable. This means you can switch up the location whenever you like!

Spike Lights

Pictured - The Chelsea Spike Light

Much like solar-powered lighting, a clever way to light your patio without installing lighting into walls is using spike lights. This brilliant solution means that you don’t need to wire in any lights, simply push these lights down into the soil of garden borders or plant pots for easy, adjustable lighting.

Direct upward to highlight garden features, and direct downward to provide beautiful, moveable guide lighting.

Bollards

Bollards are a great solution for patios that don’t have walls for wall lighting but provides light at a useful height for more overall illumination. Although typically used in commercial properties, there is a place for bollards in a garden or driveway, particularly modern and contemporary styled patios for a minimalist solution to balanced lighting.

With simplicity at its core, rustic design uses raw materials, natural textures, and muted tones to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Rustic design has gained popularity in recent years, walking hand in hand with sustainability with its emphasis on locally sourced, handcrafted materials, but finding the right sockets and switches can be a challenge.

Breaking up this design with white plastic only serves to draw the eye away from your carefully balanced design. However, making conscious choices about the kinds of sockets and switches that will help you to strike a balance between function and aesthetic, and even enhance your interior to create a cohesive design throughout.

The Basics of Rustic Interior Design

Inspired by rural and countryside settings, rustic design is inspired by a natural aesthetic, embracing raw materials and handcrafted simplicity.

Incorporating natural beauty in the form of roughly cut wood and natural materials such as suede, fur, and rough-spun cotton or wool into your design elicits a cosy atmosphere. Combining these rugged assets with a neutral colour palette of stone greys, beiges, and creams, you can achieve a harmonious rustic interior that evokes comfort and luxury.

Choosing the Right Finish

So, which sockets and switches go with a rustic interior? Time-worn metals offer their own unique appeal while bringing an industrial touch, and a socket and switch with a weathered finish will work best to keep the overall theme your rustic interior cohesive.

For the most weathered appearance, a finish like Vintage Brass works beautifully to strike a balance with dark woods and rough-spun fabrics for a cosy interior. This distressed finish elevates that authentic time-worn aesthetic perfectly, creating a wonderful rustic charm.

Consider contrasting this unique finish with a soft pebble paint to highlight your switches, or alternatively, pair with a darker colour to blend with the darker, cosier elements of your interior design.
A brighter finish can serve as an eye-catching focal point to really elevate your interior. Old Brass adds a vibrancy while still adhering to the rustic aesthetic. Using this finish infuses a rustic interior with a touch of subtle elegance, contrasting the raw wood and fabric details of the space.

One striking alternative worth considering for your rustic interior is Antique Copper. This sumptuous finish offers a brighter tone with a rich vibrant pinkish hue that works particularly well in rustic kitchens. Reminiscent of copperware pots and pans in period larders and pantries, Antique Copper transforms an interior to a rustic farmhouse aesthetic with ease, serving as an eye-catching finish that enhances the overall ambience of the home.

No matter the finish that you ultimately choose, rustic sockets and switches allow you to personalise your space according to your preference, be it rustic elegance or industrial chic. By choosing a time-worn finish that is cohesive to your interior, you can strike a balance to create a seamless flow throughout your space, achieving a harmonious and inviting atmosphere that reflects your personal style.

The current cost of living crisis has us all looking for ways that we can save money, and one expense that is taking a particular toll on our wallets is our electricity bills. Lighting is an essential aspect of our lives, but it can also consume a significant amount of energy.

By implementing energy saving lighting solutions, we can not only save money on our electricity bills, but we can also make a positive impact on the environment in the process.

In this blog, we will explore several practical tips and tricks that can help lower your energy bills, as well as your carbon footprint.

Transition to LED Lights

One of the most effective ways to save money and energy in lighting is to switch from traditional incandescent or halogen bulbs to LED lights.

LEDs, or Light-emitting diodes consume significantly less energy while providing the same level of brightness as their older counterparts. LEDs are also much more durable and have a longer life span, making them a smarter choice all around. We have a large range of beautiful LED light bulbs to choose from.

Optimize Natural Lighting

Make the most of natural light during daylight hours by keeping windows unobstructed, using light-coloured curtains or blinds, and using mirrors to reflect as much natural light as possible.

Using natural light in place of artificial light not only cuts the cost of your energy bills, but also creates a pleasant and productive environment.

Install Dimmer Switches

Dimmer switches allow you to adjust the brightness of your lights according to your needs. Using a good quality dimmer with your LED bulbs can conserve energy while creating a cosy ambience.

Consider installing dimmer switches in living rooms, bedrooms, or dining areas, and keeping the light level low enough to see, but bright enough to avoid eye strain.

Utilise Task Lighting

Instead of relying solely on bright overhead lighting, add task lighting to any workspace for specific activities. Task lights such as desk lamps or under-cabinet lights direct light to a desired area, reducing the need for overall room lighting.

Embrace Motion Sensor and Timers

Motion sensor and timer-based lighting systems are ideal for areas that are frequently unoccupied or where lighting is only needed for short periods of time, automatically turning lights on as you move through a room or as part of a schedule, and switching off when the area is vacant.

These are especially effective in homes where forgetting to turn lights off is a common occurrence and eliminates the possibility of lights being left on unintentionally.

Cleaning Your Shades

Regular maintenance and cleaning of your lighting fixtures are essential for the best light output. Gathering dust can reduce light output on light shades and even bulbs, forcing you to turn up the brightness just to see.

Cleaning your fixtures and replacing outdated or inefficient bulbs will ensure maximum brightness while consuming less energy. Please clean lights safely and ensure you turn lights off at the mains before removing shades or bulbs, and do not allow any water to make contact with bulbs or wiring.

Making the switch to energy-efficient lighting is a simple yet impactful step toward reducing your energy bills. By following these tips, you can save money by reducing your energy consumption, and lower your carbon footprint in the process!

period home

When it comes to interior design, attention to detail is key. Every aspect of a space, no matter how small, contributes to the overall aesthetic.

One often overlooked element is the choice of sockets and switches, which can result in a missed opportunity to enhance your homes unique style. Opting for period sockets and switches can add a touch of elegance and charm to any interior design scheme.

In this blog post, we will explore the beauty and functionality of period style sockets and switches, and how they can elevate your home's interior.

Defining Period Style

Period style is associated with the architectural and decorative expressions of a broad historical era, typically ranging from the Georgian period through to Art deco, with each span of time bringing its own unique charm and character.

Soft, muted colours, white painted wood, and rich, flocked textiles are all common features in period styles spanning the era, and it is down to personal taste whether you choose a cosier ambience with warmer, richer colours and textures versus a bright and spacious design that relies on lighter colours to bring vibrancy to the room.

When choosing period style assets, it’s best to begin by considering the architectural design of your home and select designs that complement the overall theme. This attention to detail adds a touch of sophistication and authenticity to your interior.

Period Sockets and Switches Finishes

Period style sockets and switches are not simply one design. Depending on your interior there is a wide range of finishes to choose from, allowing you to find the perfect match for your design vision.

Pay attention to the overall colour palette, textures, and furnishings in your space, ensuring that the sockets and switches harmonize with the rest of the design elements. Use them as subtle accents or focal points, depending on your desired effect.

Brushed Brass

To complement a chic and luxurious interior, we recommend brushed brass. This classic choice pairs well with almost any wall colour, and offers a clean and bright touch, not to mention the brushed metal hides fingerprints particularly well!

Antique Brass

For a classic and elegant look, antique brass is a popular choice. This darker tone of metal works beautifully with rich interiors, blending seamlessly with dark woods and earthy wall colours. Not only is this brushed metal in a softer hue than its brighter counterpart, brushed brass, but it also does a fabulous job of hiding fingerprints.

Bronze Period Sockets and Switches

Bronze is popular choices, evoking a sense of elegance and luxury. Softer, and with an aged appearance, bronze is a wonderful addition that brings a real sense of authenticity to a period interior.

Antique Copper

Bringing vibrancy and depth, Antique Copper emulates well-used copper pots and pans, adding a stunning dimension that will enhance any period kitchen or pantry.

Vintage Brass

Vintage Brass is a dark and aged metal with a weathered patina transported through time from an authentic period home, a perfect choice for any period country house.

Old Brass Period Sockets and Switches

Boasting rich golden tones, the mature and well-worn patina of old brass brings time-worn warmth to spaces such as living rooms and bedrooms, pairing beautifully with rich patterns and colours.

Try mixing metals for an added touch of authenticity to these beautiful assets.

Toggles Vs Rocker Switches

Period style toggles can elevate the overall aesthetic of your space. Removing the contemporary style of a rocker switch and replacing it with intricate detailing, such as knurled and turned styles such as a Victorian toggle aligns more closely with a period interior ensures a cohesive look throughout your space.

Incorporating period sockets and switches into your interior design is a small but impactful way to add character and elegance to your space. By paying attention to the design and finishes, you can seamlessly integrate these functional elements into your overall aesthetic.

Whether your home contains cosy living spaces or a sprawling open floor plan, your home relies on lighting to create an inviting atmosphere. There are so many ways to use light to draw in ambience, and different fittings will influence how the light layers within each room.

You likely already have the locations of your ceiling or wall lights wired into your home, so unless you are undertaking a major refit, or perhaps overseeing your very own new build, chances are you will have to make do with the light placements you have. But no need to worry, with so many gorgeous lights to choose from, this won’t be a problem.

Both wall and ceiling light fixtures add style, but each have distinct differences that can affect how they are used, as well as change the effect they have on a room. So let’s explore the varieties of wall lights and ceiling lights, and which type of light will benefit different situations.

Ceiling Lights

Geo Trapeze Metal and Glass Lantern

Ceiling lights encompass a wide variety of styles and designs. Pendants can come in any size from ultra-modern, minimalist bulb holders to vast and impressive chandeliers, and everything in between. Whether used as a single statement piece or clustered together to make a full light display, ceiling lights really enhance your décor.

Ceiling mounted lights are a space saving option for lower ceilings or rooms with high surfaces. Perfect high traffic areas as well as bathrooms and utility rooms, this style of light sits flush to the ceiling and helps to avoid accidentally knocking or touching the light.

Spotlight bars are a great way to add a multitude of directional lights, great for task lighting or illuminating wall art or walkways. These handy lights are both functional and stylish, as well as being customisable for your space.

Eglo Cayuca Ceiling Spotlight

Downlights are the ultimate minimalist design, and with their recessed profile, as well as a large range of different finishes, downlights can pair with almost any interior design. Great for task lighting, downlights add a dimension of light to utility spaces such as kitchens and hallways.

Suspended designs such as pendants and chandeliers create a more formal aesthetic for the design conscious. With so many different styles, the pendant is by far the most popular choice for most rooms in the home. With shades made from wood, fabrics, metal, glass, leather, and plastic, a pendant can direct light, create patterns of light, or simply draw the eye to an impressive statement light display.

Wall Lights

Sheraton Art Deco Brass Wall Light

While walls lights may not have quite as many options as ceiling lights, wall fixtures come in many stunning designs. Not just great space savers but also practical, serving as great task lighting for living rooms and bedrooms, particularly in rooms where wall space is ample.

Depending on the design that you choose, a wall light offers great background ambience and combined with ceiling lights, the humble wall light can add a dramatic light layering effect to any room.

Decorative wall lights such as lanterns and sconces are a gorgeous design feature that adds depth to a space, so consider a bulb that emits a warm light for these designs, or even a soft, decorative bulb that emits a lower light. This will enhance the ambience of your room while layering light to complement your more functional lighting.

Spotlights look incredible in pairs when framing a window, doorway, or a fireplace, and especially above bedside tables to replace a table lamp, not to mention clearing precious surface space. These handy lights can work as task lighting for a reading nook, or above a bedside table, and with the right bulb can create stunning layers of light. Consider using these to accentuate artworks or decorative wallpaper.

what is lux level

Knowing how many lumens a bulb emits is important for lighting a space. Understanding the difference between lux and lumen, especially how these two measurements work together can really help you to make the most of your room, while literally and figuratively brightening your home.

What is lux level?

Lux (commonly known as ‘foot-candles’) is a unit of measurement for natural and artificial lighting that reaches a surface. If lumen is the amount of light emitted, lux is the amount of that light that falls on a surface.

Simply put, one lux is equal to one lumen per square meter. (lm/m²), meaning that if one lumen of light is emitted from a bulb, and that light falls evenly on a surface of one square meter, the illuminance on the surface would be equal to one lux.

A typical living room can have anywhere between 100-300 lux of natural light. This depends how large your windows are, and which direction your windows face. To put this into perspective, the recommended illuminance level for reading is around 500 lux, outdoor daylight can range from anywhere between 10,000 on an overcast day and upwards of 100,000 lux with brilliant sunshine.

When dealing with large commercial or industrial spaces, lumen doesn’t necessarily always indicate a lux level. The further away a light source is from a surface, the more light will disperse, meaning less lux than lumens. A torch, no matter how bright it is, will appear dimmer the further away it is.

However, calculating lux from lumens when lighting your home is relatively simple, and choosing lights based on lumens will give a fairly accurate measurement of lux inside the home.

We hope this guide helps you to understand lux level and how to use this in your home. Check out our range of LED light bulbs to light your home effectively.

When it comes to wiring your home, it isn’t quite as simple as just sockets and switches. There are many types of power outlets, switches, and different sockets to consider. One type of socket that causes a little confusion is the flex outlet socket. So, why would you need one?

A flex outlet is a type of electrical socket that allows you to wire high-powered appliances straight into your walls. Boilers, water heaters, and other electrical unit that require a continuous power source, would be wired through a flex outlet. Flex outlets are often used in a situation where a plug socket would be difficult to access. Or with appliances that do not come with a 13A plug socket as standard.

Let’s look at the different types of flex outlets that we stock, and why you would consider using them.

Flex Outlet

The most basic type of flex outlet has no switch and is designed for relatively low-powered appliances that don’t require isolating from the mains. For example, you could have your table lamp, or even a hairdryer hardwired into the wall in a specific location, if you knew that you were unlikely to need to move these again.

Double Pole Switched Flex Outlet

flex outlet

A 20A double pole switched is used to safely isolate an appliance by isolating both the live and neutral simultaneously. This ensures that the appliance is completely disconnected from the power source when the switch is turned off. A double pole flex switch is a safer way to control the power supply to an appliance, providing an extra layer of protection against electrical shocks.

Unswitched Fused Connection Unit (FCU)

An unswitched fused connection unit (FCU) flex outlet is used to protect a hardwired appliance which develops a fault. Excessive electrical draw/leakage will blow, or melt, the fuse first, which helps keep your appliance and your home safe.

Switched Fused Connection Unit (FCU)

A switched fused connection (FCU) flex outlet works in the same way as the unswitched FCU, the only difference being that you can switch the hardwired appliance on and off at the wall. This switch is useful for appliances that might occasionally need to be switched off from the wall.

Switched Flex outlet sockets have the option for a neon light to indicate when power is reaching the switch, and it's up to you if you require neon or not, however this is a great safety feature for any appliance that requires switching off before you interact with it.

Chandeliers have always been considered the most luxurious way to light a space. Be it large or small, chandeliers are designed to be the centrepiece to a room. As trends move throughout the years, we have found ways to incorporate this wonderful light into different aesthetics.

Styling a contemporary home with a modern chandelier comes with a few considerations. Firstly, how large your space is will play a big part in the kind of chandelier you choose. If you have high ceilings then you will have much more room to play with. However if your ceilings are relatively low, then you will need to find a lower profile chandelier for this space.

Next, think about where this modern chandelier is going. Is this for above a dining table, for example? Then consider a wider chandelier that won’t interfere with the table. If you’re choosing a light for a mezzanine, then a taller chandelier will work well for this space. Using a chandelier that is too small or large for your room will throw off the ambience of your space. So, measure twice, choose once!

Modern chandeliers tend to be linear in design, focusing on minimalistic form and shapes. Materials such as metal or a high-quality plastic form the framework and use LED strips to create smooth and fascinating shapes. This makes them great additions for minimalist, industrial, or even brutalist spaces, adding a design element to the room without cluttering the aesthetic.

If you are choosing for a chic or Scandi space, glass, woods, linens, and even paper add a sophisticated element to these more decorative focused interiors. Be mindful of the aesthetic you wish to cohere to; an ultra-minimalist LED chandelier will detract from the comfortable ambience of your carefully designed Scandi living room.

Modern chandeliers offer a great way to add that touch of design and elegance to any contemporary space. By selecting a chandelier that is complements your interior, balances your space, and coheres to your tastes, you can create a truly stunning focal point that will only enhance the ambience of your home.
